Both my kids have been to Discovery School, and I can’t say enough good things about it! Beyond the fun extras like hikes and the pool in the summer, the teachers and staff are truly amazing. They encourage kids to discover their passions and provide the tools to learn and explore at their own pace. It’s a place where children can take ownership of their actions while fully embracing the joys of being kids—endless fun and adventures in the woods and the fantastic facilities.
We absolutely love the Discovery School. The teachers are amazing – so kind and passionate, fostering creativity, curiosity, love for nature, confidence, and mindfulness in the children. Our older kid had a fantastic time there, and we're excited for when our younger one gets to go. Also, the sense of community around the school, with hangouts at the Central Market playground, etc., is wonderful.
Our daughter attended The Explorers for a year and it was the most magical experience we could have provided. The teachers are insightful, helpful, creative and the hands on outdoor learning is simply magical. We feel we have given her the greatest foundation to life by sending her here.
Our son went to Discovery School for three years and I cannot say enough good things about this school. The staff are fantastic, dedicated people who clearly love their work. The school's philosophy of fostering a love of nature and exploration is amazing -- our son came home knowing the names of birds, trees, flowers, and with his pockets stuffed with "crystals". The community of parents is lovely and we are still friends with many. 100% would sign up again. I'd go myself if I could.
We had our two kids go through Discovery Center and then Discovery School, and we had really great experiences with both. We value the staff so much and our kids grew really close to them, and their classmates. The outdoor play and exploration is unlike anywhere else, and the focus on imaginative play was extremely important for our kids' development at that age. Our kids were also very ready for starting elementary school and its structure/schedule, when that time came.
