Security is a priority. . .
Security is a priority to you and to us as well. There is a secured entryway along with cameras throughout. Our doors are always locked and every parent is given an entry code upon registration. Visitors need to ring the doorbell for entry. If someone other than a parent is picking up your child, A photo Id is required. Parents need to leave a note or call ahead before we will release your child.
Your child's safety is very important to us. Discovery offers closed circuit cameras in each room, they are not internet accessible. Parents can schedule an appointment to view their child's class.

One of the websites children work on is Starfall. Starfall.com opened in September of 2002 as a free public service to motivate children to read with phonics. Their systematic phonics approach, in conjunction with phonemic awareness practice is perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, special education, homeschool, and English language development (ELD, ELL, ESL). Starfall is an educational alternative to other entertainment choices for children and we love it!
