Discovery Place Preschool LLC

Discovery Place Preschool is an in-home preschool program for children who will be entering Kindergarten in 2021 or 2022. The preschool hours are 8:00 to 11:30 Monday through Friday. There is an option for extended care for parents who work full time (7:45 to 4:15).  DeAnn Jones has a Bachelor's degree in Child and Family Studies and then received a masters and Ph.D. in Family and Human Development. She uses Creative Curriculum, which is a professional research-based curriculum used by university child development labs/programs. DeAnn recently moved from Montana where she reached STAR 5 and was accredited by the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC). The website for her program is StanwoodPreschool.com.  The philosophy for Discovery Place Preschool is that children learn by discovery. The curriculum is composed of "studies" where a topic is explored for 4 to 6 weeks, such as insects, clothing, trees, balls, tubes and tunnels, recycle reduce and re-use, simple machines, sand, etc. Literacy and math concepts are embedded in the studies as we investigate each topic. We have a ton of fun with these investigations!  We are currently in the "insect" study watching caterpillars form chrysalises as the metamorphosis happens where they will become butterflies!  The program continues with the child until they reach Kindergarten, although parents are free to unenroll at any time.  We also provide a very healthy environment with our nutritious, mostly organic, homemade, unprocessed, whole food meals and snacks along with good hand washing and small group size.  Discover Place Preschool On-line will be starting March 1st.  See our website for more details: StanwoodPreschool.com.
