A big thank you to the entire staff at Bayside Discovery! I’m especially grateful to Mrs. Betsy for her incredible patience and support throughout the enrollment process. As a Veteran and a first-time mom, choosing the right daycare can be overwhelming—but from the moment we walked through the doors, I felt confident that Bayside Discovery treats every child like their own. We truly love it here, and I wouldn’t recommend any other daycare!

I absolutely love Bayside Discovery! I cannot express how thankful I am for them, especially after our previous day care experience. They keep their classes small because they are not driven by money. They love their service in our community. They are clean and extremely thoughtful. Not to mention, their ability to maintain such an incredible and caring staff in unreal. Some of these caretakers have been to my boys' birthday parties, that speaks volumes of their vetting process. I am so sad to read the review below as I simply cannot agree and wish I could speak to her to let her know that because of the class sizes the registration is stiff and the waiting list resets every year. I wish she would try again and get a chance to speak with someone who can help her. She may have been given the incorrect information. Either way, my family is ethnic and the owner has ethnic grandchildren so I'm really sorry about her experience, I just cannot share that sentiment. If you read this I hope you try again. When I went to the first registration I almost missed my shot. The manager was able to maneuver a few things around to get my son in full time as opposed to part time and that was the best decision I've ever made. There's nothing I can do to show how much I appreciate all of you ladies at Bayside Discovery! Thank you for caring about my heart outside my body... my boys.

Unfortunately, it appears that they only accept white children at this location. My child has been on the waiting list for three years, which is the duration of the time I’ve been living here. I’ve called numerous times asking if my daughter was up next and I’ve always been greeted with the exact same answer that she’s on the waiting list and she’s next. How is it that she’s next in line when each and every year, their new people and more people bringing their kids to the school who just moved in this neighborhood. It is in my opinion, that this school is just not meant for POC.

This school is one of the biggest blessings to our family. We have 2 kids that go and I have had at least one enrolled for a few years. Ms Betsy (the owner) is the most involved Director I have ever experienced. The teachers are wonderful and truly care about every kid who walks through the door. Here are some things that personally make a difference to me as a Mom: they have small classes so the kids receive more individualized care. I receive daily feedback about what the kids did, ate etc and I always receive very quick responses to emails. It’s clean and the school plans out fun celebrations and activities (Thanksgiving program, Christmas recital, Holiday parties, Easter Egg hunts, Mothers Day Teas, Fathers Day Donuts etc etc) the list is long and I know they put a ton of work into making it happen. I am incredibly privileged to be able to have such wonderful childcare and would recommend them to anyone.

Our son has been going here for a little over 2 years and I can't say enough great things about Bayside Discovery Center. This is the absolute best place to send your children. The staff and administration are fantastic. The facility is gorgeous. Our son loves it so much, he always asks to stay longer! We feel at ease sending our kids here, knowing that they are in a safe and loving environment. We are so happy we found this school!
