There is no better daycare around! Dawn of Discovery feels different from other centers as soon as you step in the door. I don’t know how the teachers and staff have the energy, compassion, and empathy that they show each and every day to my kids (and to me!). I love the smiles and partnership and my kids LOVE coming here. The people here are truly special and the love and kindness they show is commendable. From checking pictures on the app, to sending a quick note to the teacher, to fun activities for the kids (e.g. yoga, bounce house, etc.), they make everything feel easy and help me feel so connected to my kids while I’m at work. I appreciate each and every teacher and staff member so much. Thank you so much for all you do for my family! You are all amazing and I can never share how much I appreciate you.
