Discovery Playhouse

My son was actually one of the first kids to be enrolled at this daycare when they opened over a year and a half ago. I have not one bad thing to say about Nikki. My son really loves her and always had nothing but great things to say about her. She is truly a sweet loving person and I feel she puts everything into taking care of the kids. I do however feel other people may not have as much patience with the kids (mine especially he’s an extremely energetic almost 3 year old) like she does which is part of the reason I took my son out. I didn’t want to take the chances of dropping him off and being called to pick my son up because he is being defiant. Now, I’m not saying my sons behavior is perfect but he’s in no way, shape, or form a mean, bad, or a defiant kid in anyway. He is a typical 2 – 3 year old going through changes and trying to figure it out and learn the right way. I was really sad to have to take my son out because we had great experiences until then but I didn’t want to leave him at a place if they could not handle him having a temper tantrum. Discovery Playhouse was a big part of my son growing up into the little human he is today and they have taught my son so much. For that we are thankful. Just wish it could have ended better since my son had such a soft spot for Mrs. Nikki and all of his friends he grew up with there at Discovery Playhouse and he will miss them all.

I have been sending my son to Discovery Playhouse for over a year. My son is my first child, so I dove in and researched several daycare facilities near me. My son had first attended franchise type daycare (Kindercare) and secondly private nanny services. Both experiences were very negative, from the amount of sickness my child would contract on a monthly basis (I realize you can’t get away from this but somehow he doesn’t get as sick anymore), to the level of care and attention provided, to the structure of the day. As a working mom, nothing was more guilt-​ridden and gut wrenching than leaving my baby at a place where he would cry being dropped off and cry being picked up. It just felt wrong, and I knew those options weren’t a great fit for our family.
I was introduced to Nikki, and I enrolled my son at Discovery Playhouse about a year and a ½ ago. Nikki is amazing with the kids and has a very strong background in childcare. My son immediately responded to the teachers at Discovery Playhouse, and he is genuinely happy when I drop him off and pick him up. As Nikki has a preschool teaching background, my son’s days are well structured, with an emphasis on developmental learning with an academic base. My son has learned many lessons at daycare, from playing and sharing with other kids, artistic and tactile development, and social etiquette.
But honestly, since my son has attended this facility, I have felt as if this is the closest thing to leaving my boy with family. The personal attention and love he gets from everyone at Discovery Playhouse is heartwarming and reassuring, and as a mom, I could not ask for anything more.
Other big benefits are (1) the food is included — they provide a wonderful menu of food that I am often jealous of, with an organic garden in the backyard that teaches children great lessons on where their food comes from; (2) structured lesson plans with indoor/​outdoor activities; (3) the price.

I put 2 stars cause Nikki is wonderful and my daughter loved going there. But they lost stars cause the husband is too much around and can be really mean !!! I’m taking my daughter out cause of him !!! I don’t even know if having him around kids is legal !!!
But just you to know they are just about money not really caring !!!
Good luck !!!

My children have been going here to this magnificent childcare program for well over a year. There is nothing out there that comes close to Discovery Playhouse. Nikki and her staff of professionals have gone above and beyond developing a program that helps teach and intrigue children. They supply only all organic food to the children as well as believe in a no television policy. My children’s attention is always being entertained and well developed. If I could give a hundred stars I would. Discovery playhouse is the new age way of sending your children to daycare. I am so happy we found them.
