"The summer program at Children's Discovery is a great combination of fun and activities while continuing the learning experience. The frequent field trips and activities outside create a fun atmosphere and my son is excited every day to reconnect with his friends and have some fun. I really appreciate the extracurricular programs that are hosted during the day so he can take soccer and attend swimming lessons so we can focus our time at home on our family.

The best thing about the summer program is the friendships that are developed and nurtured. I know that lifelong friendships have developed at Children's Discovery - not only for my son, but for me as well. I know I can count on the families of my son's classmates for creating a strong network of support and to nurture his development at home or in the neighborhood. And the teachers are not only there to teach, but to support the development of great social skills like being a good friend, telling the truth, and understanding the differences that each child brings to the classroom. They are great role models for my child and let him know that he is loved and cared for by people beyond our family.

There are many choices for summer programs, but it would be very difficult to find a place where your child can learn, grow, play and be loved by the people who take care of them every day. In our house, we consider the children, teachers and families at Children's Discovery our extended family."
