Welcome to Discovery Zone Learning Center!
Discovery Zone Learning Center is committed to following the standards set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). Sharing the opinion of NAEYC and other early childhood research centers, Discovery Zone Learning Center believes that quality education starts with quality educators. The program believes that the education of teachers is critical to the success of students.
We realize that a great deal of your thought and consideration has gone into your choice of a child-care center for your child (NAEYC Accreditation Brochure). We know how special your child is to you. Our mission is to provide a caring and nurturing environment where your child can learn and develop through chronologically and developmentally appropriate activities (NAEYC Family Guide). At Discovery Zone Learning Center our programs offer peace of mind to each parent by providing the highest standards of childcare and education. We believe we need to be a vital extension of your family, sharing love and concern for your child as we work together to build a foundation for their happiness and success (NAEYC Stats & Facts).
We believe that during your child's early years he or she will learn basic social, intellectual, emotional, and physical skills. These skills are essential for your child's "growth". Discovery Zone Learning Center strives to provide your child with these lifelong skills. We also believe children below the age of eight learn best when they have: objects they can manipulate; chances to safely explore the world around them; and opportunities to experiment and learn from trial and error.
Discovery Zone Learning Center facilitates learning and growth for children of all developmental levels in a creative, multicultural atmosphere. Your child will be encouraged to explore his or her own world and discover that he/she is a unique individual.
Come with us to Discovery Zone Learning Center for a day, to see for yourself, how, by combining structure with choices for even the youngest child, we create a place where every moment is special and fun.
