The Discovery Bay ELC
approach
All children are on a journey of discovery every single day. But although they are all on the same map, they don’t all follow the same path. And that’s perfectly OK!
When you’re discovering, there’s no right or wrong. There is only wonder and curiosity. Our discovery-focused approach removes learning roadblocks and helps kids build the confidence, resilience, and tenacity to go out there and find whatever they want to find in life.
The Explorer Spirit
It’s our mission to develop your little ones into confident and enthusiastic explorers of the world around them.
All the explorers in our themed rooms set out into the unknown not knowing what they would find. They went somewhere different to discover something new. When children gain that same explorer spirit, there’s no boundaries on how far they can go! The world is limitless and so is their potential for what they can achieve in it.
