Discovery Land Child Care Center

I feel so grateful and blessed that we found this daycare for our child. It flies a little bit under the radar. They have been unbelievably flexible with my irregular schedule, and the prices are still quite affordable as compared to other Portland daycares. I feel like the teachers genuinely care for my baby and aren’t just going through the motions. It really warms my heart to see how gently & sweetly they interact with my child (and all the babies in the class) whenever I drop or pick him up! They often don’t know I’m there yet and I can see them cuddling him or speaking very lovingly to him which warms my heart and makes me confident he’s in great hands. Like I said it flies a little bit under the radar but just call them and the director Polly is super responsive. Lastly, they are welcoming and inclusive of different faith traditions and backgrounds. We are so thankful we found the spot!!

We're so lucky our neighbors recommended Discoveryland to us! Our son has been there three years, since he was a baby, and now our little girl has started too. It's not fancy - this is not a baby yoga, seaweed snack kind of place like my friends' kids go to (and pay 3xs as much for). But the teachers are very high quality - loving, dedicated, and committed to every child's well being. Also - Teacher Pamela is actually teaching my 3 1/2-yr old addition and subtraction?! The older classes do observational experiments and plot the results. I love it! But most importantly - Discoveryland teaches kindness, mutual respect, and personal accountability. All the kids know each others' names and stop to give each other hugs in the hall. The kids love being there and often don't want to leave at the end of the day. Thank you Discoveryland teachers and staff for all of your hard work, and for being our kids' home away from home.

Our son has been attending Discoveryland for over a year, and it is wonderful! The staff and teachers are extraordinary - knowledgable, friendly, experienced. They really take their jobs seriously and provide a lovely place for children to grow, learn, and play. Love it!

Great people and care!
