What Parents Say
Discovery Place for Little People receives highly polarized reviews, with most parents praising the staff's dedication, curriculum quality, and child development outcomes. However, a significant minority report serious concerns about staff professionalism, child safety incidents, inadequate supervision, and low teacher compensation.
I have been apart of the Discovery place family for almost 7 years. The staff genuinely care about the children they care for going over and above what's expected of them. My god children have been their for preschool and return every year for the summer program. As you enter either of the sights, South Philly or Yeadon it's clear the children are having fun while their learning. The Director Ms.Tonya is very firm when it comes to her staff and their education, making sure their knowledgeable about their profession in Early Childhood Development. If your looking for a great Early Learning facility, that focus on the family and the whole child Discovery Place Preschool is a great place to start.
My kids have been going to this daycare for 5years now. I love love this place. I feel absolutely comfortable that my kids are in the right hands and are safe. The curriculum is amazing and helps prepare the children for kindergarten.
Discovery Place is a great place to send your kid, the teachers are great the kids are learning everyday. My son always corrected his mother when she talk. He always say u don't say it like that mom. lol
My daughter has been w/ this school for 2 years. I kept her there bc I really admired the ethic and qualities one teacher had revealed to me and my daughter. Recently new, unqualified staff has been joining the facility. My daughter has gotten hit/ hurt now 4 times within the last month "accidentally" by another student. I tried politely addressing the situation, but instead a teacher was rude and unprofessional, trying to argue. She tried to threaten me indirectly stating, with an attitude, " well, I'ma be professional cuz I'm on the clock, but if I wasn't..." I tried to overlook some downfalls in their business, but I will not tolerate unprofessionalism, uncertified staff, a lack of supervision and my child being neglected. I pulled my child from that school. DO NOT send your children here!
My oldest son been going here since he was 2 months and now is 7 and he’s on a 4th grade reading level while in the 1st grade , the staff is eager about the kids learning and my other 3 children love the school also . I recommend if your looking for a good daycare in South Philly here it the perfect place
