Welcome to The Discovery Centre

We at The Discovery Centre understand that the early years in a child's life are the most crucial. In our EduPlay programs we strike a balance between autonomy and structure in our approach to education. We play, we laugh, we talk and we learn.

Why Our Program is Special

A physical environment conducive to growth.

A structure and routines for the child's day.

A supportive environment for interpersonal growth.

A community in which parenting skills can be perfected.

Learning takes place in the interaction between the individual and the environment.

We believe that it is in the early years of development that children form who they are as individuals. It is important to provide them with an emotionally and physically safe environment, which nurtures and supports the development of their physical, social, emotional, creative and cognitive skills.

We believe that parents and educators working together as a team, create a structured and predictable environment which is emotionally and physically safe for children. In this environment children are free to discover how things work, learn to do things for themselves and realize that they have good ideas. Our singular focus is on supporting the child’s overall development in the most loving, nurturing and motivating manner possible. We offer our children experiences that will challenge them to grow intellectually socially, emotionally, creatively and physically.


Our goal is to encourage every child to see themselves as individuals who are confident, have ideas, are able to make decisions and be responsible for their actions and feelings, who in turn will grow up to be happy, self assured individuals.
