Have to Say
Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My two boys have been coming here since they were 18 months old over 9 years go and they love every minute of it. The staff have been here 20+ years and my coworker & neighbor recommend me to DRDC and their kids are in the 30s. Never had an issue at all from front desk to teachers and even my second kid still ask for his VPK teacher Ms. Kim.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The lessons, themes, languages, and consistency with the teachers makes for a solid, long term commitment for us…. Years later and zero regrets. Love the staff. Love the values. Love my little slice of the world thanks to this institution.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely love Dairy Road Discovery Center! My daughter is learning so much and she loves going to school every day. We love the daily activities they do and the weekly themes. We have been very impressed with this school!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot say enough great things about DRDC. My daughters both started there as soon as they were old enough and it has literally been life changing. Both developed in language and walking incredibly fast, as well as social skills. Dropping them off at the cottage in the morning feels more like dropping them off with family than at a daycare. I cannot wait to watch them grow and learn there over the years. Thank you DRDC for being our extended family and helping us raise our daughters ❤️Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If your looking for a wonderful place to care for your child, Dairy Road Discovery Center is the place to go. The teachers & all staff are so friendly, & they all know your child's name. Its a small, quaint, perfect little school... I wish they took younger than 18 months so I could send my soon to be born their too! Thank you DRDC for taking such great care of my son & giving me peace of mind while I am at work, knowing he is in great caring hands.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
