At Discovery Time Academy each program provides your child with the opportunity to make new discoveries as they grow in a nurturing environment. We try to emphasize daily open communication between the center, the teachers and the parents as essential to providing high-quality care. Our goal of helping each child in their mental, emotional, social and physical development is achieved through a well rounded and age appropriate program of guided free play, structured class time and special guests/events. We perform ongoing assessments of your child’s progress throughout the year and conduct two parent-teacher conferences to discuss your child’s development.
