A second home for your child
Discovery Years has cared for Sussex County children for 35 years. We serve children aged six weeks to twelve years on a part-time or full-time basis, with one promise that’s never changed: a safe, clean and positive environment that supports every part of a child’s development.
Our philosophy
Every child is unique
We take a child-centered approach: understanding who each child is and meeting them there. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum gives children room to explore, while our teachers guide them toward the next milestone.
Our team includes certified teachers and directors with degrees and certificates in early childhood education, all sharing the same goal: a safe, enriching and inclusive environment where children feel confident and loved.
And we believe parents are partners. Open, everyday communication between teachers and families, through conversations at pickup and the Procare app, keeps everyone working toward the same goals.
Our four pillars
Knowledge, Growth & Joy in practice
Positive Education
Alongside academics we build resilience, kindness and a genuine love of learning.
Family Partnership
It takes a village to raise a child. Parents are our key collaborators, and we keep communication open every day.
Curated Environment
What children see and hear matters, so every space and material in our classrooms is chosen with intention.
Lifelong Learning
We nurture curiosity that lasts far beyond the classroom and long after graduation day.
Come see a day at Discovery Years
Tours are the best way to meet our teachers, see the classrooms and playgrounds, and get your questions answered. It takes about 30 minutes, and little ones are welcome.
