School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

At Discovery Isle, you can trust that your child will be treated as an individual learner and encouraged to appreciate the joy of learning.

We recognize that every child needs support, stimulation and encouragement within a positive educational environment. Our teachers create an atmosphere in which children are safe, nurtured and ready to absorb what the world has to offer.

We use the Nobel Learning Communities' Links to Learning curriculum. Links to Learning is an integrated series of programs for children ages 6 weeks to 5 years of age, that engages the young learner's senses, mind and body. The components of each program are integrated to enhance learning in logical, fun and entertaining ways. Links to Learning also links parents to what their children are learning by providing regular communications and suggestions for how to continue the learning at home.
