A Strong Foundation for School With Personalized Lesson Plans

Daily lesson plans include built-in assessments so teachers can tailor their support to your child’s strengths and growth areas. Recognizing that every child learns differently, our teachers provide personalized guidance to get them ready for school. Using Streamin 3®, they inspire your child with fun, hands-on activities and experiences.

Introducing STEAM: Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, & Math

To enrich your child’s daily personalized lessons, we introduce two themed projects each month that explore STEAM principles. Through stories, art, numbers, shapes, and movement, kids observe, analyze, problem-solve, and discuss their ideas together.

Lifelong Bilingualism Starts With Daily Practice And Weekly Specialized Spanish Class

Daily Spanish Lessons Boost Their Creativity,
Mind, & Learning

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the U.S., and your child will incorporate it into their daily lessons, building a solid foundation for bilingualism. Learning a second language enhances cognitive skills, boosts problem-solving abilities, and opens doors to future opportunities.

Yoga, Soccer, & Outdoor Play Burn Energy & Boost Fun

Weather permitting, children spend time honing their gross motor skills on the playground, running, jumping, climbing, and more. Soccer lessons teach teamwork and let your child burn off any excess energy. Physical movement, including daily yoga practice, stimulates children while enhancing their calm and focus.

In-House Visitors & Regular Field Trips Encourage Discovery

Preschool kids enjoy a mix of off-site field trips and exciting in-house visits throughout the year. They explore museums, watch local performances, and interact with community members like firefighters, dentists, and musicians. These experiences bring variety and excitement to their learning, enriching their education with real-world connections and hands-on fun.

Our Promise Is To Keep Your Child Safe & Healthy

Our classrooms stay neat and tidy thanks to daily efforts from both teachers and children. Each evening, a cleaning service deep cleans the rooms, ensuring they’re fresh and ready for the next day. Preschoolers also learn the importance of cleanliness by tidying up their spaces and practicing good hygiene, like washing hands before meals and after using the restroom.

Our Promise Is To Keep Your Child Safe And Healthy

Balanced, Peanut-Free Meals & Healthy Snacks Provided

Guided by our approved food program, First Discovery offers healthy and wholesome meals and snacks featuring a variety of fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. Providing balanced meals helps your child develop healthy eating habits and an appreciation for diverse foods.

Regular Communication with Your Parent -Teacher App

We’re committed to building strong connections with both our students and their parents. Your parent-teacher communication app keeps you updated on your child’s day with real-time photos, videos, and progress reports. Easy access to your child’s learning makes managing your busy life a bit easier.

Cannot express my love for FD. The staff, the schedule, the meals, EVERYTHING. Everyone makes you feel so welcomed when you walk through those doors and everyone that works there genuinely loves children and wants to see them succeed. My son loves his teachers and all his friends because they always "party" together! More than pleased to leave my child with people that I know and trust.

While I was pregnant with my son, I searched for daycare centers. When I got to First Discovery, hubby and I immediately knew that this was where we wanted our son to go to. Fast forward over two years later, everyone at FDCDC aren't just our son's teachers and caregivers, they have become our family. We love each and everyone here and our son loves coming here. If anyone is looking for a daycare for their little one(s), look no further. This is the place to go. Hands down.

My son is four and loves first discovery. We had him in a few centers before this one and didn't feel like the staff cared for our child. All of the teachers and staff are sweet and care for our son like family. I couldn't have found a better place!
