Welcome to Create & Discover Learning Center, Inc.
Our logo has been changed to a vibrant yellow in honor of Rita Gendreau, Michelle's mom. This bright color represents the warmth and positivity she brought to everyone around her. We celebrate her memory as a long-time supporter of our programs and a true ray of sunshine in our lives.
OUR MISSION
At Create & Discover Learning Center, we believe the early years are a truly special and important time in a child’s life. It’s when curiosity begins to bloom, personalities start to shine, and children actively discover the world around them.
Our classrooms and two playgrounds are busy, joyful spaces filled with opportunities to play, explore, and create. Whether it’s painting at the easel, building the tallest block tower, digging for worms, or making sandcastles with friends, every moment is a chance to learn and grow. We encourage children to work side by side—cleaning up together, sharing materials, sparking imagination, building confidence, and developing independence. While it may feel like they’re “just playing,” they’re actually learning important life skills every step of the way.
With creative, theme-based lessons, engaging hands-on activities, and a warm, nurturing environment, our goal is simple: to help every child feel loved, supported, and inspired as they grow. At Create & Discover Learning Center, we’re not just teaching—we’re building the foundation for a lifetime of curiosity, confidence, and a true love of learning.

OUTDOOR PLAY
Outdoor Play is essential for children's physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. Time spent outside offers unique opportunities for learning, exploration, and movement that are not always possible indoors. Our two large playgrounds are thoughtfully designed with sensory activities, climbing and exploration structures, sandboxes, and much more. Encouraging outdoor play and active movement is a vital part of our curriculum, supporting whole-child development in a fun and engaging way.
CURRICULUM
Our curriculum is built around monthly theme-based lessons designed to support each child's growth and development. Through these themes, children build new skills, discover new concepts, explore a variety of art materials, and foster a lifelong love of learning. Developed and refined lover the past 30 years, our curriculum is updated annually to meet the needs of each new group of children, ensuring that it continues to inspire curiosity, creativity, and joy in learning.
​
Every new activity is seen as a stepping stone toward:
-
building self-esteem and independence
-
strengthening social skills and cooperation
-
expanding knowledge and creative thinking
​
We believe that each child is important, unique, and deserving of a program that supports their individual growth .
"FREE-PLAY"
Free Play is a vital part of a child's development. During this time, children have the opportunity to explore their interests, tap into their creativity, and develop a sense of independence. It allows them to express themselves freely, discover their likes and dislikes, and build on their own unique talents and abilities. While structure and guidance play an important role in other parts of the day, Free Play nurtures creativity and supports the development of essential social and emotional skills as children interact with their peers. For these reasons, Free Play is thoughtfully incorporated into each classroom's daily schedule.
