Our Program

Parents are at the core of our design

Our relationships with parents are built on trust, transparency, and collaboration. We believe in open communication and information so that, together, we can make the right choices for our children.

Safety & Security

Our number one priority is ensuring safety both inside and outside the home. All of our caregivers are trained in First Aid and CPR, have current police clearances, and multiple years of experience caring for children. The day home premises are maintained with child safety in mind. 

Every location follows these guidelines:

  • morning safety checks
  • child pickup authorization form
  • smoke detector on each floor (checked monthly)
  • fire extinguisher on each floor (checked monthly and serviced annually)
  • fire plan and monthly fire drills
  • first aid kit
  • monitored and/or locked entry and exit points during operating hours
  • sick policy to ensure your child has a happy and healthy day
  • regular toy cleaning/sanitizing
  • frequent hand washing
  • emergency numbers posted in the home
  • $2,000,000 in liability insurance

Discovery & Play 

“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”    
—Mister Rogers

At Discovery Tots we believe strongly in the benefits of both structured and unstructured play. We create a balance of the two, both indoor and outdoor to encourage emotional, cognitive, physical and social development. Studies have shown that both types of play are imperative for a child’s optimal growth and success.

Play builds children’s imaginations, creativity and problem solving skills. It encourages children to develop friendships, social skills and a general ability to get along with others.

Structured Activities are often referred to as “play with a purpose”. It encourages children to learn and perfect a skill, and in doing so they develop a sense of confidence and achievement.  

​Health & Nutrition

Discovery Tots understands the importance of health and nutrition in early childhood development and the impact proper meals can have on a child’s ability to learn and grow. We provide a wholesome and nutritious menu, providing breakfast, lunch, and two snacks throughout the day. If your child has dietary restrictions, we will work with you to accommodate wherever possible.
