  I had a wonderful experience with Discovery Isle overall. I moved from VA and reached out and was provided with great information and detail care. Once I arrived I toured with Ms. Nefris and loved the preschool, safety, location as well as the staff. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely love working with the children. My child was always excited to go and came home happy, which says a lot about the nurturing environment they provide. The activities are creative and engaging, and I always felt confident my child was safe and well-looked after. My child fell in love with his two teachers, Ms. Blake & Mrs. Jennifer. They weren’t just watching him—they were truly teaching him and inspired him. In his time there, he learned so much, from Spanish words and famous painters to animal facts and more. They even helped instill a sense of responsibility through classroom roles, which he loved and took pride in. Every day, he came home excited to share what he had learned, and I could see his confidence and curiosity grow. The only two downsides for us were that lunch was not provided daily, which meant extra daily prep for parents, and the outdoor play area had sand. While my child loved playing in it, it did mean a lot of sand made its way into my car and home. Also, I did enjoy (optional & additional cost- $5) pizza Friday's for my son where I didn't have to prep lunch :). Overall, I highly recommend Discovery Isle for their loving staff, great activities, and safe environment—just be prepared to pack lunches, plenty of love & care and deal with a little extra sand! I would love to shout out specific members of the team but honestly it's the entire team/staff at Discovery Isle is AMAZING :) Also the events and parent involved activities are super amazing.

  I can’t express enough how grateful I am for the care, attention, and love this daycare has shown to both my children and me as a mother. Like many parents, I was nervous about leaving my little ones in someone else's care, but from day one, Ms. Melissa and Ms. Nefris made me feel completely at ease. They went out of their way to accommodate me so I could breastfeed both of my kiddos during lunches for a year each. They offered emotional support when we weaned off each time. Comforted me during all ups and downs. The teachers are not only warm and nurturing but also incredibly professional. They take the time to truly get to know each child and provide personalized attention. My kids leave stopping by past teachers to hug them, they are eager to go to school, and come home with stories of playing with their friends. Their education also shines out above similar age groups. What meant the most to me was how supported I felt as a parent. The regular updates, open communication, and genuine care they showed helped me feel confident and included. It wasn’t just about watching my kids—it was about being part of a village that truly cares. The stories and pictures they sent in made my hard days at work disappear. Their little personalized artwork and projects decorate my home to be treasured forever. The events they through gave me a chance to meet other parents and bond life long friendships with people my kids love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend this daycare to any parent looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and enriching environment for their children.

  I have a strong discontent regarding the manner in which the administration handles enrollment. I placed my daughter on the waitlist while I was six months pregnant, and now, as my daughter approaches her second birthday this month, I have yet to receive any updates via phone call. I contacted Melissa back in February, and she assured me that she would reach out in a couple of weeks. Now that we are in June, I have received no communication, and I find their lack of communication to be unacceptable.

  I don't know what the other reviewer is taking about. My wife and I have had our kids at Discovery Isle for a total of six years, and there is NO other daycare facility I would recommend more highly than this one. The Principal is absolutely amazing, and the staff is wonderful! Our son, who is there now, gets upset if we pick him up too early, because he loves it there so much. My wife and I are so grateful we found Discovery Isle, and will miss everyone when our son moves on to Kindergarten.

  There is a woman here who is completely vile and nasty to anyone who looks to be under the age of 18. I understand kids can be doing wrongful things but she was completely out of line, rude. Wouldn't let anyone finish a sentence and threatened us. My mother is NOT sending my siblings back here and won't ever recommend this place to anyone. I can't imagine how they treat children if they can't treat an adult with the same respect they were treated with.
