This Discovery Point opened October 2008. My husband and I took a tour in November 2008 and were so impressed with the facility and staff we enrolled our infant first born that very day. Due to maternity leave, our son began attending this learning center in February 2009. In 2011, our second son was born, and we immediately enrolled him. We have been amazed at the structured, loving, learning environment this "school" has provided for our two boys. The staff maintains daily communication with parents and/or guardians by the use of daily behavior forms and/or stamps. The academic expectations are rigorous, but obtainable for the children. The behavior management plans are clear and concise and explained to the parents and children. The staff focus on positive rewards such as encouraging comments to children and parents, stickers, stamps, show-and-tell, hugs, thumbs up, high fives, etc. When consequences are needed, they are handled with tough love. Our children learned 6 basic signs before they could speak. Our children were introduced to the basic Spanish words by the age of 3 months. The staff encourage family involvement, and are willing to actively listen to parent comments, concerns, and questions. This student-centered "school" offers extracurricular programs such as ballet, karate, and play ball (fundamentals of sports). Each classroom offers age appropriate educational toys and supplemental tools for the children. Hands-on learning, learning by dancing/singing, and repetition are used to differentiate instruction. In a nutshell, my husband and I have been extremely pleased with the professionalism of the staff, the cleanliness of the facility, and staff the up-to-date learning tools in each room. We also appreciate the way the staff follows state requirements for learning standards, cleanliness, and safety. After 5 years of being a part of the Braselton Discovery Point family, we are proud to admit we made the right decision on behalf of our children!! read more
