Parent Reviews
Caring teachers and staff, great preschool curriculum with multiple disciplines explored each day. So glad we moved our daughter to this school!
We have had multiple children attend Childrens Discovery Academy from infants through pre-K. Having other children attend other Day Care’s, preschools, and pre-Ks, we can safely say this is hands-down the best experience. One, it is organised and clean. To the use of communication and photo tools makes you feel connected to your child throughout the day. Three, the arts and seasonal activities create fun burst of excitement for Littles throughout the year. Four, the teachers are wonderful and caring. We love CDA!
We joined CDA mostly to get childcare closer to our home, but also because we were having issues with our previous daycare. Our son’s behavior has changed drastically since he started at CDA (in a great way!!). He now controls his feelings a lot better and has improved his communication skills. He loves his classroom so much we have to bribe him to come home! I don’t want to single out any teacher because they’ve all been absolutely phenomenal, but I want to give a huge and special shout out to teacher Tami who has made the transition so smooth for us and our son. I’m so thankful for the quality of care we are getting from CDA. The only issue we have is with the sand on the playground which gets everywhere in the car and house everyday. We wish the playground had that rubber ground, but honestly, it’s a small concession to make for the quality of care we get.
Children’s Discovery has been so good to our family. Our daughter loves seeing her teachers and her friends every day. The teachers are engaged with the kids and the parents, and they provide clear feedback on how your child is learning and interacting with their peers. The educational program that CDA has in place is truly sensational, and it is noticeable how rapidly our child is learning the material. We feel so proud to be part of Children’s Discovery!
Before starting at CDA, my daughter was a very shy kid. She was scared of other adults and children and would cry whenever someone interacted with her. I was incredibly nervous for her to start daycare and expected her to struggle. I couldn’t have been more wrong! When we toured CDA, every staff member we met was incredibly kind and welcoming. They made us feel like family before we even joined. They listened to my concerns and reiterated that they would do everything they can to support us and our daughter. They have continued to prove that as true. My daughter immediately settled in with no issues. This is a testament to her amazing teachers. They are attentive, kind, and truly care about every child in their care. My daughter is now a confident, smart toddler who LOVES going to school and seeing her friends. Her speech and motor skills have improved tremendously, thanks to the fun and creative activities they do daily. I cannot say enough good things about CDA. From a mom who was hesitant about daycare, I am so grateful to have found the CDA family and know that my daughter is receiving the care every parent hopes for. You will not regret choosing CDA for your child!
My child has been attending Children’s Discovery Academy since the end of July 2025. From the start, communication and policies have been clear and easy to follow. We love receiving detailed daily updates, from what she ate for breakfast to diaper changes, naps, and fun photos. These updates give us peace of mind and help us feel connected to her day. The weekly newsletter is also very thorough and lets us know what activities the class will be doing the following week. Since starting, our child has really blossomed. Every morning, she’s excited and happy to see her teachers. On top of that, the safety measures in place are a top priority for us and have been very reassuring. I definitely recommend touring and considering this center for your child.
Children Discovery has truly had a remarkable impact on my child's development. Although I don’t always have the time to teach my child new skills myself, since enrolling him in Children Discovery, he has learned a wide range of new things. Every day, he's expanding his vocabulary, singing new songs, and even trying various foods that I never thought he would accept. I appreciate the well-structured curriculum they follow, which emphasizes both academic learning and social skills. I also value how attentive and involved the staff are with all the children, ensuring that each child receives personalized care and support to thrive.
