  • It is with so much sadness that we say good bye and conclude Elle's Chapter at Discovery, however, I will forever be grateful for the many experiences and lessons that Discovery offered her. Thank you for devoting so much of yourself to creating a place that nurtures a still and slow, wonder-filled childhood; I know that Elle is taking away so much with her that has helped shape who she is and who she will become. I am so thankful that Elle was able to experience her first year of kindergarten within the authentically beautiful little world that is Discovery.​

  • I feel compelled to send you a bottom of the heart, deep-felt kind of thank you. We are less than 2 months into Katie's transition to her "new school" at Discovery and we couldn't feel more pleased with the change. As expected, we had to wait for Katie to get past her initial fear of the unknown, and get comfortable with her new friends and teachers, but I think we can safely say that we are now past that hurdle, and she is super comfortable and happy with where she is now. It is easy to say that she is very comfortable with her new teachers when we see her willingly run into their arms and give big hugs at the end of the day.

  • My daughter has been attending Discovery Child Care since she was 18 months old and has been enrolled in the Forest ‘kinder’ program for the past 2 years. The experiences that children are getting at Discovery are unlike that of any other child care facility in the area (if not in all of Ontario!).
