Discovery International School
Preschool Program

Our daytime preschool program is suitable both for native English speakers and new English learners. At Discovery, all cultures and languages are visibly recognized, celebrated, and supported! All children learn and grow in a positive, supportive, engaging environment.

Our Toddler's Class (2 ~ 3 years old) is now open. Enrollment is accepted at any time. Children may enter the Toddlers class from 1.5 years old (space permitting).

Classes for older children will begin in 2012. After School Classes are now available (ages 4 ~ elementary). Please contact Discovery International School for further details.

Our preschool curriculum provides ample time for indoor and outdoor play. Play experiences help teachers construct subject-integrated, developmentally-supportive learning projects with the children. Project development is documented as it occurs, with emphasis on children’s growth of understanding through their own words and actions. Parents are allowed and encouraged to join us at any time.

Initial weeks are dedicated to helping children become familiar with routines and our English-language environment. First language support is provided. Parents are welcome to attend with their children until they are emotionally settled.
