Classes at Discovery House Day Care CenterCome Discover The Fun Of Learning


Pumpkin Patch Program (18 months - 3 years)

Our Toddler Program is appropriate for children ages 18 months through 36 months. The Toddler Room, better known as the Pumpkin Patch, allows for a total of 7 children ages 18 months through 36 months. Parents are able to communicate with their child’s caregiver openly and often. This reassures them that their child is very safe, happy and loved during his/her daily experience in the Pumpkin Patch. Children are encouraged to explore their surrounding and the many age-appropriate toys are available to them. Children are introduced to 'group' activities during circle time (singing songs, learning body parts, fingerplays, language/vocabulary development). We accept only full time children into the Toddler program.

Busy Bee Program (3 - 4 years)

We accept both full time and part-time children into the program.

Our Busy Bees Preschool program has all of the educational advantages of many formal "preschools" with the added advantage of being one that allows working parents to work with the added benefit of their child receiving an education as well as quality child care. Our preschool room is divided into learning centers (family living, kitchen, reading, art, fine motor / manipulative play, blocks, and dramatic play). During the day children participate in both teacher directed activities and self-directed free choice activities. They join in at circle time each morning learning new songs, finger plays, and stories. They spend time in their classroom and outside on our playground (weather permitting). Our preschool teachers are creative and enthusiastic educators, with years of experience, who make learning fun. We accept both full time and part-time children into the program.
