About Us

Where Every Child's Story Begins

Discover Academy has been a trusted partner for families in our community since 2008 — providing exceptional early childhood education grounded in research, warmth, and genuine care.

Our Story

Built on a Simple Belief

Discover Academy was founded in 2016 by educators who believed that the first five years of a child's life are the most formative, and that every family deserves access to a program that takes that seriously.

What began with a passion and a childcare center of 5 children has grown into a full early childhood center serving infants through Pre-K, with a team of more than 20 educators and and caregivers, and a waitlist that speaks to the trust our community has placed in us.

We are proud to provide a high-quality early childhood experience built around thoughtful learning, strong relationships, and exceptional care. Our commitment to continuous improvement, professional development, and high standards guides everything we do for our children and families.

Mission & Values

What We Stand For

Discover Academy has a mission to provide an educational environment that is loving, nurturing, and safe at all times. We aim to deliver a program that encourages children to discover, learn, and succeed.

Whole-Child Care

We attend to every dimension of development, not just academic readiness, but emotional regulation, social skills, physical health, and creative expression.

Safety First, Always

Every policy, every procedure, and every physical space is designed with one priority: keeping children safe, secure, and free to explore.

Family Partnership

Parents are a child's first and most important teachers. We build genuine partnerships with families through open communication, transparency, and mutual respect.

Excellence in Practice

We hold ourselves to the highest professional standards: ongoing staff development, intentional teaching practices, and evidence-based curriculum guide everything we do.

Warm Family-Centered

Every child deserves a place where they feel known, valued, and cared for. We build strong relationships with our children and families to create a community that truly feels like home.

Curiosity-Driven Learning

Children are natural scientists, artists, and storytellers. We create environments that spark wonder, reward questions, and celebrate the joy of discovery.
