Children's Discovery Ctr

We have two children who attend CDC and they love it. The school strives to give great guidance and education to the students who attend there. The location is fantastic, away from the road, the kids get the opportunity to play outside and discover nature while the buildings are kept in great condition and very clean. The only issue is they seem to have a lot of turnover in their teachers, which can get frustrating for parents and students. Overall I would recommend them, especially for little kids as ""Miss Stacey"" is fantastic. more

My children have both been attending Children's Discovery Center since 2009. Our experiences here have been wonderful. The staff and teachers are truly interested in the well being of the children here and it shows. We really enjoy the many family functions here and are happy to have the center as an extension of our family. Thank you more

My two children (2 1/2 and 5 1/2) have gone to other daycares, but when we found the Children's Discovery Center a year and a half ago, we found our ""home""! As a teacher, I have very high expectations for the learning and care of my children. The staff at CDC have proven they are up to the challenge and are always surprising us with the thought and effort they put into our children's care. While CDC does not provide food, they make up for that one downfall with their wonderful staff, consistent training, amazing outdoor play areas (esp. for the older kids), group gatherings and field trips. Todd, the owner, goes above and beyond to make sure each child is taken care of. Our family is thankful to have found the Children's Discovery Center. more

Like a lot of other daycare centers, this place makes promises but doesn't really deliver. Our pre-school-aged child went for about 8 months and made very little progress. The ""teachers"" will only provide progress reports or tell you about your child's day if they're asked. There seems to be very little communication from the providers to the parents, though the owner is overly friendly to the point of making some parents uncomfortable. Unlike with most providers in this price range, you must provide your child's snacks. They provide a sheet to cover the child's naptime mat, and then promptly send it home with the child to be washed. As promising as this place might seem, keep looking. more

Our 4 1/2 year old son has been attending Children's Discover Center since Oct 2010. We have seen such positive growth and development in this short amount of time. The staff here is nothing short of remarkable. Within days of starting the teacher reached out to us simply because she wanted to meet and learn more about our son and his family! This meant so much to me and my husband. As we all know, kids do not come with a manuals; nor did many of us attend school to become great parents and; yes, some days do seem so much more challenging than others. When ""those days"" happen and the staff reaches out and gently offers advice or words of encouragement - I welcome it wholeheartedly - After all, these are people who spend most of our childrens waking hours with them. more

We've had 2 children at CDC. At first things went well. They had good staff and the kids were happy. Then the staffing turnover began. ""Teachers"" came and teachers went. We began to question whether the kids were being adequately supervised. We dropped in several times (unannounced) and found the kids watching TV or playing nintendo not outside during beautiful weather. This certainly isn't the ""Montessori"" method that we expected. Pros: Location Cons: Staff Turnover more
