Parent Testimonials

"All 3 of our daughters began attending Children's Discovery Academy the day I returned to work following maternity leave (our oldest is now 8 and still attends the school's wonderful after school and summer programs.) The thought of leaving your precious child in someone else's care is stressful for any parent. But the wonderful teachers and staff made the transition to daycare easy & enjoyable.

We have always felt confident that our children are in a caring, loving, environment that encourages creativity, participation and learning. The teachers are not only excellent caretakers but also great advisors to parents on topics related to their children. The calm, fun & loving approach embraced by the teachers and staff at Children's Discovery is truly unique and greatly appreciated. It brings me great peace of mind to know my children are so well cared for when I am at work."
