Words from the parents

At Dawn of Discovery, families are at the heart of everything we do. From first steps to first friendships, our preschool community helps children grow with confidence, curiosity, and joy. Here’s what parents love most about their experience with us.

"We moved our child to this center in March and could not be happier with the care she receives. All of the staff, down to the cook, are so wonderful. You can tell they all truly care for the children. I also love that this center is family owned. They seem to really care for and treat their staff well too!"

— Steph

“Our son has been to 3 daycares and this is by far the best! He is 2 years old and his speech is improving, I believe it has a lot to do with the structure and education plans.”

— Bri

“My 2.5 y/o son has been going to DOD for about 6 months and we have had a great experience. He loves it, and the teachers are very friendly.”

— Jesse
