Our Philosophy: A Curriculum of Enjoyable Enrichment

At Discovery Clubhouse, your children will receive training from long-term, experienced staff, in a safe, caring environment. Our teachers emphasize physical, social, emotional and intellectual development for your children.

Daily Lesson Plans establishing activities in areas that will encourage your children to “discover,” ask questions, and interact individually or as a group throughout the day. Lesson plans also include one giving/service project per month where children will learn to serve others in small ways without reward.

The classrooms are set up into eight Discovery Learning Areas:

A child will learn best when he or she is having fun

Infants & Toddlers

It provides a safe and nurturing environment where babies can grow and learn every day by exploring and making new discoveries with our help. For healthy brain development, the experiences infants have during the early months of life are most important.

Our staff gives lots of personal attention and interaction and will promote the basis for intellectual and social skills. Trained staff meets each child’s needs.

2-Year-Olds

At this age, your kids are making new discoveries daily. In our warm and loving classroom they will experience through discovery:

  • Daily routines of circle time, art, music and movement and large motor development, with inside and outside playtime
  • Our staff also focuses on potty training, cooperation (sharing and taking turns)
  • Our balanced approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they’ll need as they continue on to preschool
  • At Discovery Clubhouse, children can choose from independent activities in the classroom such as language arts, math and manipulatives, blocks, science, dramatic play, and art learning centers. Teachers will also implement small-group activities, focusing on skill-building, cooperation and observe their behavior
  • As 2-year-olds begin to exert their increasing independence, Discovery Clubhouse will continue to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, exploring, personal hygiene, and self-expression
  • Children will participate in quiet activities as well. After a child has had a quite rest after lunch, they can visit learning centers or participate in individual or small-group activities until most of the children have awakened
