My son attended here from age 1 to 2.8yrs old. It took some time getting use to as he was used to being at home with my family. But in the end he really opened up and loved his teachers and friends. Speaking happily about them daily, and sometimes taking his time to leave as he'd like to keep playing. He really cherished Ms.Alo, Mr.Gio, and Ms.Diana.
I only switched him to a preschool near me due to the proximity and so he could have some friends going to the same elementary school. However, whenever I drive by Discovery Isle he tells me he wants to go there ("I want to go to daycare now!").
I also am enrolling my second baby to attend here soon, knowing he will be in good hands.

My son attended Discovery Isle Poway for 1 year and 8 months. We are very happy generally with the daycare center. Pros:
- High level of education in shapes, phonics, basic math, etc.
- High level of organization and care.
- Convenient hours. Open till 6 PM.
- Large playground.
- Many toys inside.
- No LGBT/DEI agenda. At least none that I saw.
- High safety standards.
Cons:
- High tuition price. Even at age 4 you pay more than $20K a year (Jan 2025). Backup daycare cost is $120/day.
- I dislike their "citizen of the world" emphasis. Many countries in the world hate us. I don't think learning Spanish at age 4 is helpful. I rarely saw US flag there. I'd much rather they taught loving US and being good citizens.
Overall, we were very happy with them and our son is in school now.

Our son has been here since he was 3 months old. The ladies in room 1, Ms Christina Ms Ariana Ms Patty Ms Miya Ms Bella Ms Masoumeh & Ms Marziyeh take such wonderful care of our baby and they send us photos of him having fun doing activities during the day. The administration is super nice too. Ms Sierra Ms Melissa and Ms Melinda are always greeting or saying bye to parents, they remember our sons name and are always very polite and you can tell everyone there just loves all the kids. It is expensive but we feel like it’s worth it knowing our son is in good hands!
