Discovery Childcare Centre is a licensed group childcare facility with incorporated preschool program as well as KinderCare. We would like to respond to the needs of our community and the changing nature of early childhood education. In our centre all cultures are respected and we recognize and celebrate the children and their family’s tradition.
A place where play is highly valued, as well as hands-on experience. We focus on each child’s individual needs and stage of development. In our centre we strive to foster creativity, exploration, and independence. The children are encouraged and challenged to explore and investigate variety of topics and materials.
Our program is well organized and thought-through. Children learn the best through interaction with their environment, and we offer them the best possible environment. We see ourselves as facilitators in their education.
