Discover How We Are Different
For over 4 years, Discovery Point has refined and enhanced our
proprietary child development program, "The Discovery Point
Experience". More than a syllabus-it is the manifestation of
our commitment to exceptional care and early childhood education
with an emphasis on "The 3 A's: Attention, Affection and Approval".
This comprehensive program embraces a child's need to excel
academically, and to develop social skills and a healthy self-esteem.
Commitment to Quality
At Discovery Point, we are committed to providing every child with
the best possible care. We hold ourselves to the highest standards
in our educational curriculum, employment, and health and safety practices.
Monthly quality assurance inspections, conducted by independent
consultants, ensure each center's compliance with health and safety
policies and procedures, which typically exceed state requirements
due to our own stringent requirements.
Learning & Growth
Providing the perfect environment for exploration and growth, our
whole-child approach to education fosters a love of learning that
will last a lifetime. We engage young minds through play and hands-on,
creative activities to prepare children for success in school through
the development of a strong academic foundation, plus physical,
social and emotional skills..
- Low teacher-child ratios ensures personal attention.
- Teachers certified to meet state requirements.
- Music, dance/movement and art programs to encourage creative expression.
- Computers to promote technology skills.
- Fun, educational field trips to take learning beyond the classroom.
Health & Nutrition
A healthy child is a happier child, ready to participate and more able
to learn and grow in social skills. Hot, nutritious meals and learning
the basics of hygiene are just the start. We teach children habits that
will promote a lifetime of good health. All of the following are
achieved everyday:
- Commercial kitchens prepare USDA, KID-approved menus.
- Health and hygiene standards are strictly enforced.
- Equipment and toys are routinely sanitized.
- Parents are notified immediately if their child is sick.
Safety & Security
Knowing that we care for every child as if they were our own,
parents show trust in Discovery Point. Our owners are on-site.
In addition, our visitor access policies, facility design,
and classroom equipment, reflect our commitment to give you
true peace of mind.
- Our hiring policies include background checks and references.
- Open classrooms and large windows provide visibility.
- Centers use commercial buses, not vans, for transportation. All buses have seat belts for additional safety.
- We have fire sprinklers in our buildings to keep the children as safe as possible.
Curriculum
Learning begins at birth. "The Discovery Point Experience" starts a
structured curriculum program with our infants. Though preschool teachers
teach children math by learning how to read a recipe or science through
observing a butterfly, today's preschool teachers have an even greater
challenge. More structure in early learning is stimulating early childhood.
At Discovery Point, we provide your child with a strong foundation that
will support a lifetime of learning.
