Discover and Share

My daughter is 1 and has been going to Discover and Share for only a few months. We previously attended a Primrose, and they never provided me as much comfort as D&S in the 6 months she went there. I LOVE the diversity at this school, my daughter will grow up learning all different cultures. Her previous school seemed to be a bunch of young snobby people. (some were the exception) It’s also very comforting to know that the infant room teachers have been there for many years. Nothing says «Great Childcare» more than that! My daughter is also a big biter, I apologize to any and all parents whose child comes into contact with her. D&S always has a report ready to go when I pick her up. And they NEVER make me or her feel like horrible people. They are a very understanding group here. I can see that my daughter has developed mentally very quickly here. I have the entire facility to thank for this! Her room teachers aren’t the only ones who know her, the entire school knows our baby girl. If you’re looking for a preschool for your child/​children… I highly recommend here! And this is coming from a small case of a helicopter mom :)

Discover and Share has been such an important resource to our family over the last 7 years. Child 3 is currently attending and children 1 and 2 are graduates and return for the afterschool and summer programs. Over the course of 7 yrs, we have several wonderful memories and experiences that I could share. To keep it (somewhat) short and sweet, here are the main ones that keep us coming back… 1) Visibility of children and staff. Until you get to know the great staff, you can gain peace of mind through the webcams available, video monitoring at the front desk, and the transparent design of the classrooms and building. 2) Great staff and low turnover. Having worked in the childcare field for many years, I’ve always been impressed with the quality of teachers that Discover and Share attracts and their commitment to their job. My children may or may not prefer their teachers to mom and dad often :) A testament to the leadership of the owner and director. 3) Curriculum and Programming. The curriculum mirrors that of CISD, which made for a seamless transition for my two older children into Kindergarten. I am fanatic about hands-​on learning, which DS does so well… starting at an early age! 4) Diversity. The staff and the students @ DS represent many different cultures, setting the foundation for a worldly view and appreciation of variety in our children.
I could go on and on, about the awesome playground, the flexible options to fit your work schedule, but I’ll stop here and recommend that you schedule a tour if you’re looking for care in this area!

The website and initial site visit was impressive. We were excited about the art and music programs they advertised.
In less than a year we pulled our children out. The classes were over populated, the teachers were young and had little hands on experience. We began to see behavior changes in our youngest child in their center.
As soon as we pulled him out, his behavior improved almost over night. He loves his new school.
There are some good points:
School has cameras that you can use online
Generally clean
Decent security
Decent summer program
But there are some concerns I would consider before enrolling pre– K children

Discover and Share is a welcome break form the current glut of chain and cloned day care and preschools. It is owned and operated by a family with school age children. We had 2 kids that went to D&S from infancy to Kindergarten. We found it to be a warm nurturing environment with an emphasis on family, community, and fun. It was a great environment for building well needed social skills that my kids still remember and use to this day. The curriculum was challenging and prepare my kids in the best way. My eldest child was so prepared for kindergarten that when she entered she had already mastered the required skill sets and knowledge required for that grade level. Even though our kids are in elementary school now, they still love going back to D&S for their after school program and during holidays when elementary schools are closed. We highly recommend D& S.
