About Us
OUR MISSION
At Create & Discover Learning Center, we believe the early years should be filled with curiosity, creativity, and opportunities to grow. We provide a warm, caring environment where children feel safe, valued, and comfortable being themselves.
Our classrooms and two playgrounds give children space to play, explore, and discover. Through art, stories, building, pretend play, and outdoor adventures, children develop new skills and learn about the world around them.
Along the way, our teachers help children build friendships, practice kindness, express their feelings, and become more independent. We encourage them to try new things, work through challenges, and feel proud of their efforts.
With hands-on activities, thoughtful guidance, and open communication with families, our goal is to help every child feel supported and excited to learn—with plenty of time to be a kid.
OUTDOOR PLAY
Outdoor play is an important part of our day at Create & Discover. Our two large playgrounds give children room to climb, dig, run, imagine, and explore with friends.
From making sand creations and searching for worms to enjoying sensory activities and climbing structures, there is always something to discover. These experiences help children build strength, balance, confidence, and friendships.
We see our outdoor spaces as an extension of the classroom—a place where learning happens naturally through hands-on discovery and fun.
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 refinedover 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.
