DISCOVERY SCHOOL
Our Discovery School Program is designed for toddlers 25 months – 36 months. Our high-quality Early Childhood staff will engage with your toddler to explore and discover the world around them using all five senses, art, music, science, movement, potty exploration, large and small motor growth, and fine motor skills. Our staff will develop deep discovery lessons through hands-on experiences that will encourage students to express themselves at higher developmental levels. We will continue to grow the foundation of living with Jesus as their foundation through song, play, stories, rhymes, puppet plays, and more.
