We moved here July and had a spot for our daughter before arriving (not always the case but was amazing for us). We started in the infant room and I have nothing but praise for those teachers. They love our kiddo and I was very sad for her to move to young toddlers, but again, they love our girl just as much! I have all positives! The front desk ladies are very welcoming and easy to talk to! If you get a spot as this daycare, you sure are lucky! Our girl LOVES IT and literally jumps out of our arms when we get there which sure makes it easier to go to work in the mornings! It’s also a plus to at they offer breakfast, lunch and snack!

KD has been so good for our girls. Communication from the center is great. They help with potty training and start introducing it as early as 1.5 which is super helpful. Every day my kids learn something new. They make crafts and truly enjoy their time in “school”. We’ve had our children at KD for years, with my youngest starting in the infant room, and our experience has been great. Definitely recommend to anyone searching for child care!

The administration staff is so helpful. The process to enroll was a breeze because of their help. As a first time mom, I was a bit nervous because my daughter has never been to a daycare before, however the whole staff at this center has been nothing short than amazing. They welcomed my daughter with open arms and provided her with a safe space to be herself. We absolutely love this place! My daughter gets greeted with a happy face every morning by either Ms Nancy or Ms Lindsey. She eats a balanced breakfast, lunch and mid day snack. I often bring home artwork, which I love! My child has flourished since attending this school.

This place is amazing! They truly invest in your children & just so friendly. My kids have been attending for 3years since they were in the infant room. Both of my children have surprised me so much with their growth. They are always so excited to tell me about their day & what they did/learned. The teachers are always happy to provide me with any updates & any potential hurdles with a plan/solution to resolve. They helped me so much when it comes to potty training. They told me when they thought it was time to stop pull ups & commit fully to training underwear. Even though it was suggested, I was never pressured until we were onboard. They made the process so smooth & encouraging. All of the teachers are so active with the children & always give 110% even on their hard days. The director, Lindsey, is AMAZING! She is always so helpful & great to talk to with any questions or concerns, even just a morning chat! I couldn’t recommend this daycare enough for all ages!

We have been going to this kids discovery for three years now! It’s so nice to have such a consistent and dedicated program with my two children. They have become a second family to me. Ms Brooke and ms Liz are absolute rockstars- they have gotten to know me and my family so well over the years and we celebrate every milestone together, and every challenge that comes my kids way, it’s so nice that they are so involved and always offer great insight and knowledge to work through whatever comes our way. (Being a kid is so hard) Nicki- in the one year old room is the absolute sweetest human I’ve ever come across. She cares for my daughter and her cousin like they are her own. She understand their unique personalities, needs, and there is never a time where we are in the dark. She tells us what they are doing well in, what they are working on, and fun little stories that make us both laugh and I appreciate that because after working all day I feel like I don’t miss out on a single moment. Those are just a few I wanted to recognize by name- but the entire staff as a whole is awesome and they have done so much to help me, my children, and my niece and nephew that go there. They go above and beyond on a daily basis and I truly appreciate everything that the entire team does.

My daughter has been attending this school for almost 2 months and she absolutely loves it. Due to a traumatic experience at a different school (not affiliated with Kids Discovery) my daughter was very reserved when starting here. After a few weeks she was walking around again playing, laughing, and excited to go to school every morning! It's apparent her teachers love her and the other kids. They are extremely professional, the room is clean and fun, she gets to play outside, and the class also has a set curriculum. I know my daughter is well cared for. I absolutely recommend this school.

KD 2 is amazing! We’ve been with them for a little over 4 years now, and I can’t say enough about how wonderful the staff is. They teach, love, and protect the children in their care, and they are like family too. I love that the teachers actually care about the development of my babies, and that they adapt the curriculum to ensure all the children learn. Brooke, Liz, and Kathy at the front desk are just awesome, and it makes me so happy that when I drop off and pick up my girls, they both want to give them all hugs. Especially my shy 3 year old- it tells me that she really feels safe and good about her caregivers. The care and education that both of my girls receive at KD 2 is the awesome as well. My 4 year old is learning to spell, she’s learned basic math already, and she is reading! She is in the VPK program with BB and Courtney, and she loves it. Both teachers continue to challenge her with new thoughts and ideas, which I think is so important for little learners. And my youngest was completely potty trained well before she turned 3, thanks to Cheyenne and Marissa. She also speaks in complete sentences... or I should say paragraphs! There aren’t enough words to express how much I love KD 2, the staff, and the way they care for my babies. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about the people who work here. I can tell that when I leave my daughter she is in good hands. My daughter loves her teachers and I can tell that they honestly care about my daughter.
