Parent Reviews
I love that this school feels like family. When we come through the door every single morning my daughter and I are greeted with cheerful hello's. The teachers are master artisans in their craft of teaching. My daughter is only 1 and already speaking in sentences and curious about everything around her. She loves showing off new words she learns from her teachers. The teachers take time to really get to know the kids and their families. I definitely appreciate that so much.
Thank you so much for this beautiful review! We’ve absolutely loved watching your daughter grow from our Koala infant room to the Panda room—she gives the best giggles and brings so much joy to our days. It means the world to hear that you feel like part of a family here. Our team takes great pride in creating a nurturing, language-rich environment, and your daughter’s curiosity and blossoming vocabulary are such a joy to witness. We’re especially proud to see her embody our core value of *Encouraging the “why” in children*—her eagerness to explore and express herself is exactly what we strive for. We’re so grateful to have your family in our community!
My child has been enrolled since the infant room and is now in vpk. My child loves it here and is constantly coming home to talk about the new things they have learned. All of the teachers always have a smile on their faces and genuinely seem excited about drop-off.
Thank you so much for sharing this! It’s has been a joy watching your child grow with us from the infant room to VPK. Knowing they come home excited to share what they’ve learned—and that our teachers greet each day with genuine joy—truly reflects the heart of our program. We’re so grateful you have been part of our learning community all these years!
I have had a wonderful experience with Discovery Tree! From the moment we enrolled, we felt welcomed and reassured our son is in good hands. They are warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The facility is always clean (which says a lot since I am a clean freak) and well organized with plenty of engaging toys and learning materials. My son comes home happy and excited to go back.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re honored to care for your son and so glad to hear he comes home happy and excited to return—there’s no better compliment. One of our core values is “our work is important,” and that extends to every detail—including how we care for our classrooms. Clean, organized spaces help children feel safe, focused, and inspired, and we take great pride in maintaining that environment every day. Thank you for trusting us and for being part of our Discovery Tree community!
Our baby girl started at The Discovery Tree Academy Oakleaf when she was 6 weeks old and now a year later we couldn’t be more grateful! The teachers are so sweet, kind and organized. We feel so lucky to have found a place that treats our child like family!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s been such a joy watching your little one grow over the past year. From those first weeks to now, our Oakleaf team has loved being part of her journey—and we’re so glad you feel the warmth, care, and organization that our teachers bring to every day.
