Fostering growth through play and structured learning

Discovery Point has a varied schedule of child centered and teacher directed activities giving a balance of freedom and structure to your child’s day. Play based environments increase the child’s motivation to learn and try new things, build creativity, confidence, and a love for school. Kids get to learn about a wide variety of subjects in an age-appropriate way. As each child develops at his or her own pace, teachers at Discovery Point support and encourage students to try slightly more challenging activities when they’re ready. We strive to ensure that all children in our program enter kindergarten with a basic understanding of school structure, social competence, foundational concepts, happy and ready to learn!

What Parents have to say

”When our daughter transitioned from Discovery Point preschool to public school Kindergarten, I was thrilled that she could join the Discovery Point After School Program. At the ASP she continued to be nurtured by and surrounded with familiar teachers and friends that were already so instrumental in her young life. We are so grateful for Discovery Point and know many other parents and kiddos feel the same way!
