Author: Empire Estate Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/20/2024, 9:27:24 PM Review: Discovery Point Daycare is absolutely amazing! From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the cheerful staff who always welcome you with a smile at the door. They organize so many wonderful activities like book fairs, participating in the Christmas Parade, Trunk or Treat, and fun little parties for the kids. They put so much effort into keeping things fresh, decorating the space, and creating a cheerful atmosphere—it instantly brightens our day when we drop our son off. The teachers are incredibly attentive, and we feel so confident knowing our son is safe and in such good hands. It’s clear that the owners are deeply invested in their daycare—they’re always present, showing genuine care for the kids, parents, and staff. It’s such a warm and inviting place, and we truly love it here. The best part? When we pick up our son, he always says, “I had fun!” That’s all the reassurance we need. Thank you, Discovery Point, for everything you do! 🧡 ----- Author: Monika Aragon Rating: 5/5 Date: 11/13/2024, 2:47:25 PM Review: We couldn’t be happier with our experience at the Discovery Point Twelve Oaks. From day one, the staff and owners made us feel welcome and at ease, which is so important when trusting others with your child’s education and care. The teachers are attentive, nurturing, and truly passionate about what they do. Our son looks forward to going to school every day and has made remarkable progress. The environment is always clean and feels very safe, which gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a nurturing and engaging place for their child! ----- Author: Rachelle T Rating: 5/5 Date: 8/9/2024, 4:21:38 PM Review: We had a wonderful experience with enrolling our son is his first full summer camp! Being new to an area I am so glad to have found this center for him. Very organized, safe, clean and such a friendly staff. He was always excited to tell me about all the fun things he did each week from field trips to sports to water days. Thank you to all the amazing teachers and staff who provide such wonderful care! ----- Author: Jennifer Ferlicchi Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/28/2024, 12:37:36 AM Review: My daughter started at Discovery Point in the summer of 2021 for summer camp. Originally I toured the center because I saw they offered a before and after school program for school age children and my daughter was about to start Kindergarten. It was a true life saver to have the option to have them take her to school and pick her up with ease. They have their own transportation and the ride back to the center is always fun. I enrolled her into summer camp as a trial and let me say it has been one of the best choices I’ve made as a parent. They provide all meals, have their own chef, will accommodate any dietary restrictions and take safety as a number one priority. At the start of the summer an agenda is given which outlines what will be done daily. They go on a field trip daily. On Friday’s they have water day which is always a fun topic over dinner. Who doesn’t love a slip and slide or the chance to soak their teacher? They also have partnered with Amazing Athletes which has given my daughter an introduction and interest into sports which she may never have learned otherwise. The center is very clean, safe, and the staff are wonderful. They always greet us with a smile and take a vested interest in my child. My daughter tells all her friends about it and several of them were on the waiting list for summer camp this year and I know many have already put their names down for the breaks when school is out. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you to Dr. Roger and Discovery Point staff for putting this mom at ease and always making sure the needs of every child is met. ----- Author: Sarah Tate Rating: 5/5 Date: 7/11/2024, 7:27:42 PM Review: Discover Point Twelve Oaks is a top tier preschool. Like many families we toured every facility in the area and Discover Point checked every box. The school is very clean and secure/safe. Every staff member from the owners and directors to the chef and classroom teachers have been pleasant and professional. Equally important, my children have felt not only cared for but valued for who they are individually. In my opinion and as a teacher, D.P. does a fantastic job at balancing a curriculum that is age appropriate while still allowing the children to be kids. I have seen a lot of hands-on exploration and child driven free play. This does not even include all the fun and active programs that D.P. brings into the school for the children (plays, shows, P.E. programs, STEAM programs). Being that we have been through most rooms and now with the summer camp; hands down D.P. was a wonderful decision for our family. My kids love coming to D.P.. ----- Author: Sulina Powell Rating: 5/5 Date: 9/10/2021, 6:20:57 PM Review: I wish I had more stars to give. From the owners, to the staff/teachers, to the cleanliness of the building and classrooms... everything is damn near perfect! Very secure to get in, sign in/out, and drop off and pick up. The front staff is always smiling and never fail to greet you as you walk in or say goodbye when you walk out. The teachers are the exact same way. They definitely did a phenomenal job getting this place set up and hiring the right staff. Very pleased and it feels so good to know that your baby is in safe and capable hands.

The worst experience! They don’t care about children. They are in the business to make money. And as a reply to Discovery Point comment below: Yes my child most certainly attended your daycare. Some people care about privacy, so don’t be misled by the name shown above. Also a little tip: make sure your stuff is mindful about dietary needs of kiddos in your care. So you don’t end up causing massive harm to a child who has medical needs for those dietary restrictions. My child thankfully doesn’t have those restrictions. However I did request certain foods not to be provided to my child. And requests were successfully ignored by your staff on MULTIPLE occasions! And that’s just one of the issues we experienced with you guys.

Both of our children attended Discovery Point starting at 3 months for my youngest and 3 years old to Pre-k for the oldest. After our experience with the previous daycare I was very nervous about them starting somewhere new. However, all of those concerns dissipated. Dr. Roger, who is one of the owners, gave us the initial tour of the school he is friendly and has an open door policy. The Owners, Management, and Staff are super nice and communicative. The school itself is well taken cared of and clean. Also, we were happy to see that the school also values the continued education of their staff as they provide training sessions for all of their teachers multiple times a year. Some of my kids' favorites were Ms. Julia (one of the Directors), Ms. Amy and Ms. Astrid who taught Pre- K. We loved and appreciated their enthusiasm for learning and teaching their students. Both of our children really excelled while at Discovery Point. My oldest is more than prepared for Kindergarten!

After 12 months; suddenly my son became the worst kid in the daycare. Long story short they gave me a 2 weeks notice just like that and off you go, my son doesn't talk a lot so it's hard for him to express himself. They kicked him out of daycare without any remorse, no real explanation no one came or spoke to us, other than the conversation about the 2 weeks notice. The worst part is, I asked "should I get another daycare?" No they said! After 14 months in this daycare, I went go his things and no one even looked at us. Imagine for a minute you take your kid to a day care for a year and one day they say you have 2 weeks, no real solution. My son came home with bite marks all the time, we never said anything cause boys will be boys. Made it seem like it was always my son well lesson learned. Don't think you are anything other than a number on the list of kids in the daycare. They asked us to do many things and we did them all yet that was not enough for them. All the good reviews you read don't be fooled, they want only kids that stay within the lines, if he moves too much or he is very curious don't do it! Worst experience of life, sometimes all it takes is a little patience especially when dealing with young minds. All kids are not the same.

Our daughter absolutely loved going to "school"! She started out at 6 months old and they took such great care of the babies in the nursery. Put my mind at ease when returning to work. She's now almost 2 and learns so much and has a blast everyday! The staff go above and beyond in child development, security, and friendliness. They know every child by name and greet us every morning! They also have a full time chef so we didn't need to send meals. We are so sad to be relocating out of state because it will be hard to find a child care facility that matches! Thank you for everything!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Discovery Point! I am a first time mom and was VERY nervous about enrolling my toddler in daycare. But, from the moment I placed the call and spoke to Stephanie, I felt better. Than, tour day came. I was very impressed with the level of security and the center smelled clean! Dr. Roger took his time with me and explained everything (I had a list of questions) and made me feel at ease. Then, day 1 came. My daughter cried. And, she cried for a couple of weeks. But, they were always sooo kind and patient with her. Before I knew it, my daughter was making friends, talking to me about her day and ABSOLUTELY loved her teachers (She loves her Ms. Nora) ! Enrolling my daughter at Discovery Point was the best decision I have made. My daughter is now thriving and easily transitioned to her new school. I honestly can't thank you all enough for loving, being kind and patient with my little girl! Looking forward to enrolling her in your camps this upcoming winter and summer. Covell Family

My 9 year old son had a fantastic time at Discovery Point Twelve Oaks’s Summer Camp. The variety of activities kept him engaged and excited every day. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure he felt welcomed and well cared for. I highly recommend this camp and will definitely enroll him again next summer!!
