Parent Reviews
The school leaders are excellent communicators and run the school well. My kids are more advanced than their non-Discovery Isle friends and I directly attribute that to their learning environment at Discovery Isle. My almost 4 year old can already count to 100, knows his ABCs, and is starting basic addition and subtraction all because of what he’s learning in school. Plus it is fun! My two kids love going here.
The teachers and staff are so caring. My daughter is excelling with the curriculum and loves her teacher. Every single staff person knows my daughter's name which feels really nice when I am dropping off and picking up.
