Discovery Harbor Learning Center

A few strong teachers kept me coming back for probably a bit too long as the administration drove me to endless frustration. I started my son in 2020 and the changes have been dramatic. The Director is an absolute disaster and her leaders may possibly be worse. If you want to feel like an insignificant number in a money hungry corporate run school, then maybe you’d enjoy Victoria’s style. I gave the school simple requests, like asking to be able to drop my 2.5 yr old off in the morning to a consistent teacher, she always gave a snarky retort and no solutions. I took concerns to leaders above her in an effort to help the best teachers get what they needed to remain but as they did nothing, I watched many of the best leave one after the next. Ms Candace was wonderful but with Victoria in the lead spot this place is a mess. Not sure I would let her teach my child let alone make decisions for the whole school. At times I truly wondered if she had the aptitude and decision making ability to handle a true emergency and when I accepted that concern I ultimately removed my child from the school leaving behind many friends established since infant hood. Three months later and I see even clearer in the new school what GY Discovery had lost under this new ownership.

WARNING to Parents – Please Read Before Enrolling Your Child My daughter began attending this center shortly after her first birthday. As soon as she started walking and talking, I was prepared for the next chapter—but unfortunately, what followed was a series of deeply troubling experiences. First, my 2-year-old developed unexplained black eyes. No clear incident was ever reported or explained. Not long after, she contracted a scalp ringworm infection, which I later learned was likely due to the unsanitary conditions of the daycare environment. These are serious red flags for any parent. I also had numerous unprofessional and upsetting encounters with a staff member named Victoria. She was consistently disrespectful and misused her authority. On top of that, they withheld incident reports that I am legally entitled to receive, along with financial documentation I requested. Things escalated when I pushed back against the disrespectful treatment. Because I did not respond submissively when Victoria made a demand—nor did I appreciate being dismissed when I asked to speak with someone in charge—she locked me in her office, called the police, and falsely accused me of assaulting a teacher. This was an incredibly traumatizing and unjust experience. After that, I tried to give another location a chance, specifically the one on Prosperity Church Road, hoping for better treatment. I spoke with Summer, who initially seemed professional and helpful. But sadly, our experiences only worsened at the second location. Please take this review seriously before deciding to entrust your child to either of these daycare centers. No parent should have to endure what my children and I went through. Assurance that this report be recorded and considered in the licensing and oversight process for this facility and any affiliated locations. I am prepared to provide photographs, medical records, and witness statements upon request.

From the structure of the dropping off process and password to enter building....Stress-free. The building is always clean and your always greeted when coming and leaving the building My son is in Mrs.Gray & Ms.Frazier for Pre-K and he LOVES it!! I LOVE IT! The kids are always engaged and the classroom is very structured. Their classroom environment has definitely helped with my sons listening,learning and social skills. He is always happy when i pick him up. Both teachers are amazing and have made it easy for me to trust my child in their care. 5 stars isn't enough for my experience I would give a solid 10.

We are a new Growing Years family and after being here almost 2 months now I know this was the best learning center for my 15 month old daughter! After being at home with her for her entire first year of life I was so nervous (for me and my baby!), but the Growing Years staff has set my heart at ease! I receive updates and pictures throughout the day, my child's teachers are super responsive and knowledgeable, and my little one is making new friends and learning so much each day! This is an awesome warm and nurturing center for growth and learning for children and their families. Thanks Growing Years!

We started at this facility in July and have nothing but great things to say. The staff is super helpful and the teachers are amazing! As a first time mom, dropping my daughter off for the first time was tough. The staff and teachers put my mind at ease. Our daughter loves her teachers - Ms Kaitlin, Ms Margaret, Ms Kim, Ms Tabitha & Ms Leslie! They are all awesome and truly care for your child.
