Discovery Place is dedicated to providing the highest quality early childhood care and education program for young children, their families and the community.   We believe that the positive early experiences of young children are critical to healthy development and strive to provide experiences that establish a foundation from which children can reach their full potential.  We also strive to maintain a program where children and families from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds will find an environment that embraces their diverse contributions to our learning community.

We believe children benefit from teaching/learning practices that are well grounded in research.  As a “best practice” demonstration setting for early childhood professionals, we strive to be a collegial learning community  sustained by a  close collaboration of parents,  teachers,  students,  community programs, and local, national and international organizations.  Our focus on professional development and collaboration with other programs in the community supports our commitment to building relationships, leadership and innovation in Early Childhood Education.
