Parent Testimonials:



When I was researching child care centers I knew I made the right choice in Discovery because I felt a lot of positive energy when I toured the center. The staff was happy and interacted well with the students. The facility was bright and inviting and I knew my child would love going there. 

—Denise Endress, MSW




My child has had a great experience while enrolled at Discovery Child Care. She began school at two years old and progressed through their Kindergarten program. She was well prepared for school and I have recommended many of my friends to the center. The facility was clean, bright, and organized. 

—Chris Sciabarra PHD




I love the curriculum, the staff and most of all....the challenging environment that Discovery Child Care Center offers. My kids have been with Discovery since the age of 3 months, they are now in third grade and continue to go to Discovery for their afterschool services. I would highly recommend them!

-- E. Thompson 




Having twins I knew my kids had different personalities. I was concerned about one being favored over another. To my surprise the staff at the center was more than accommodating with both of my children's needs. They were treated as individuals, not as twins. Great School, Great Staff! 

 —M. Lugara
