It was like a night and…read moreday difference from the last daycare we were at as far as the quality of attention our son receives from not only his teachers but the staff as well. We absolutely LOVE his teachers, Ms. Hailey and Ms. Storm, and the way they love on my little guy. They pay attention to the little things and it's a blessing to not have to sit at work and worry if your kid is in good hands. My son started here when he was 13 months and then we moved to the Kid Ranch's San Marcos location when he was 18 months. I love how clean they keep the building and the classrooms, how they pray with my child before meals, the artwork they do each day and best of all the app they use to keep us parents in the communication loop. It makes my day to get a picture of my son over the app during my work day, watching him play during splash days. The teachers here are happy and strong role models for the kids. The administrative staff is always available for questions from me and my husband, both at drop off and pick up. We're going to deeply miss the Kyle location as we move to San Marcos but we're confident that whatever the future holds for Kid Ranch in Kyle, it will be a good one.

I was told by the director's assistant that one of the school aged girls went up to one of her…read moreclassmates, wrapped her blanket around the classmate's neck and squeezed it as right as possible until the classmate's face turned purple. Worst part was that the directing assistant only told the parent about this in passing. The child should have been removed from the daycare but when the director herself was addressing the notion of this child being removed from the daycare, I was told that she would have no where to go. While the gentle, loving gesture of not removing the child was a nice sentiment, a child keeping another child from breathing is DANGEROUS. THE CLASSMATE WAS NOT BREATHING. The problem was not addressed appropriately and that is why I would not suggest this daycare to anyone

My…read more2 yo has attended the Children's Discovery Center on Duval for 6 months and she is excited to go to "scoo" every single day. She even asks to go on the weekends. Very rarely do I see any of the kiddos upset when they are being dropped off - a sure sign that they are happy to be there! When I first toured the school all I could see were happy kids, playing in the dirt, laughing, exploring, climbing, being active and engaged. My first reaction on dropping off my daughter was that the place was dirty. Not uncared for, but well lived in. Some of my fondest memories are of sitting in the backyard digging in the sandbox and I am so happy to be able to give that to my daughter (we are apartment dwellers). The whole place is well worn with love. To quote a previous poster "The toys are well-loved. There is paint all over the fence. A favorite activity is playing in mud. MY child comes home happy, tired and dirty. I'm used to it now and would not have it any other way." The school would not be the same without the teachers! Every single one is a gem and can always be found at kid level, sitting on the ground, laps full of kids. It is so obvious that each one is there because they enjoy it and not just for the paycheck. They are patient and creative and involved every step of the way. The "curriculum" is appropriate for a bunch of 1 - 3 year olds. It's stated much more eloquently on their website, but the kiddo's are given all the freedom to be creative, explore and encourage their innate curiosities. Children grow at such amazingly different speeds and take to such various skill sets, that I personally don't see the benefit to the child in anything "standardized". One of my most favorite lesson plans included running around the playground listening to fast music, pouring colored water from one cup to another and singing songs in Spanish. We live in an apartment with no real good yard to speak of and I relish the fact that my daughter is getting the chance to explore and run and be messy somewhere other than our tiny place!! The only (and last on the list IMHO) downside is that it is pricey. Not too pricey compared to most full time centers and certainly not for the benefits she gets from attending, but high for our working budget. However, the director, Rosalind has been AMAZING and has helped in finding assistance and with working with us on payments. We will be a Discovery School for as long as we can possibly manage it! Addendum: Four years later, kid #1 is about to move up to kindergarten and kid #2 is getting ready to be "Discovery Kid" too. We have loved this place as much as possible and my daughter has made some lasting friendships with her classmates. The turnover of teachers and kids has been so low over the past few years, that it really does feel like family. I am so very grateful of all the years and love that my daughter has gotten from the Discovery schools. I can't wait for my son to get to have the same experiences!

Our child went to the Discovery Center Central for just over a year. We really loved CDC at first,…read moreand continued to really like the teachers and classmates and school. We left the school due to an unfortunate incident involving our child eating inedible items during sensory play, which kept showing up in his stool. We alerted the director via email and then also talked to the teachers, who at first promptly addressed the issue by removing some sensory play items and changing all play with food to be with edible food. But then one night he was up all night vomiting glitter, and then over the next 24 hours he continued to have glitter in his diaper. A very large amount of glitter. My partner emailed the director of the school about the issue, and also raised the issue of glitter itself being a microplastic that is bad for the environment. The response from the daycare was not reassuring, and we were threatened with a cease and desist lawsuit if we talked to other parents about the issue [and more recently we were threatened with a lawsuit for a previous longer version of this review].  We obviously took our son out of the school. We have no problems with the teachers or classroom, and really enjoyed the free spirit of the school; but feel it is my duty as a parent to share this with others.

We learned about time and resource management, animal behavior, plant identification, shelter building, solar and lunar navigation, water purification and fire making. The demonstrations were detailed and thorough and comprised both theory and practice. Although I wasn't able to get a friction fire going, I learned more from the failure than I would've from success. Later, when I approached my frustration with a sense of humor (which I learned from the introduction) I was able to get a ferro rod fire started regularly. Maybe I could use that skill in a non-survival situation too...

I came across Heaven sent, and it was an absolute miracle! The moment I stepped inside for a tour I felt at home! The other little ones were so polite, and cheerful!
