This place has the most friendly and caring staff and an excellent facility. I am so impressed with how much everyone there car s. My son loves everyone including the cook. The curriculum is fantastic, my son retains so much. With two working parents he doesn't get as much time learning at home as I did growing up so when he comes home and knows his letters when we read it makes me so grateful to have found dawn of discovery. They constantly improve and adjust as needed and have been so good to us. I will be sad when my son moves on to full time school.
