Established in 2005.  Awarded an extended 3 year license for both facilities in 2019.       Featured facility in the 2010 Missoula Parade of Child Care Providers. Our South Ave facility is licensed for 45 children ages 2 months to 6 years old. Our Brooks Ave facility is licensed for 60 children ages 2 months to 5 years old. This Center opened Jan. 2016.    Please Note: Some children will thrive in a family or group home childcare environment, while others do well in a larger Center environment. When choosing your child care facility this is an important consideration to make. Ask questions and carefully consider all options before choosing a Childcare Provider. Communication is very important between a provider and families.

Mission Statement & Philosophy   Discovery Preschool is a licensed Center for children ages infants thru 6 years old. Our Mission is to provide children with a safe and nurturing learning environment and varied experiences which help them develop socially, intellectually, physically and emotionally in a manner that is age-appropriate. Our South Ave facility provides four separate classroom spaces- a Infant/Toddler Room, 2-3 Year Classroom, and two Preschool classrooms for children ages 3-5 years old. There are two playground spaces with developmentally appropriate structures and equipment. For additional information please see "Our Program" page. Downloadable parent information on "Staff and Rates" page. Our Brooks street location, began in January 2016, and currently has an infant room, Waddler classroom, 2 year class, and 3-5 classroom.    We offer arts experiences that are open-ended, creative movement, creative ballet, and music experiences, and Zoo Phonics is introduced in the Preschool classrooms. Our food program introduces children to foods from around the world. Our theme-based curriculum integrates a variety of arts and cultural experiences for preschoolers. We provide both full time and part time childcare to our families. For the majority of our children, we provide a preschool experience in a full day child care setting.     We have been licensed through the state of Montana since 2005 (South Ave location). We focus on and work toward achieving the guidelines and standards of the NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children), however we are not accredited through the NAEYC.    -  We believe children learn through play, hands-on activities, and exploration.   -  We believe each child is unique and will help each to fulfill his/ her potential.   -  We believe physical activity is essential for continued growth in both large and  small motor development.    -  We believe in the importance and value  of  the arts in children's learning and  development.
