Parents' Comments
Parent #1
Though Discovery School is a play-based preschool, the teachers still work very closely with you to reach goals for educating your child. And because you see your teacher every morning and afternoon, see the teacher's aide every morning, the director, specialty teachers and staff, talking to any one person about any of your concerns is not a problem.
Fundraising at Discovery School is critical to its budget, but at NO point do you feel you *have* to do it, you also have the option to "buy out". Some families use the scholarship funds and are encouraged to participate and volunteer as a part of the scholarship agreement.
