Discovery Kids does both: enroll your little one full-time in our age-based programs, or drop in by the hour for flexible, no-commitment care. Ages 1 to 11, days, evenings & weekends.
Enroll full-time in nurturing, age-based classrooms with a real curriculum, warm teachers, and daily routines built for how little ones learn.

Letters, numbers, colors and cooperation through play, building the skills that make kindergarten click.
Kindergarten-ready confidence: early reading, writing, and routines. Florida VPK welcome.

"We found out about Discovery Kids over a year ago, and it has truly been a saving grace for our family. Their drop-in service is incredibly convenient and has been a lifesaver for us. Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loves it!"
Jasmine R.Google review"Discovery Kids has been perfect for my husband and I, we have opposite work schedules. Our girls (2 and 4) love going and often don't want to leave! It's fairly priced and super convenient: those four hours let hubby be on time for work and let me not leave early, priceless! All of the ladies are very communicative and truly love working with children. Take the leap and drop your little one off, you will not be disappointed π"
Kayla W.Google review"One word: AMAZING! I'm so sad I didn't find them sooner. The staff is amazing and friendly, and super when it comes to communicating. The place is a kid's dream: TV, rock wall, climber, toys, snacks, everything. We trust them and our kids LOVE them."
Renee B.Google review Β· Local Guide"My 4 year old loved it! He's already asking to go back. He also went to a 'Sunday Funday' and had a great time, not a lot of childcare is open on Sunday, so this was helpful. All the staff were very kind and professional, and the check-in process is simple. Overall a great experience and we will return!"
Megan M.Google review"We wouldn't have a life if it wasn't for Discovery Kids! They are great and the staff is so caring and attentive to the children. Being open later on the weekends is what makes this place awesome for parents, plus the special events they do for the kids! π©·"
