Robin Rogers
Executive Director

Welcome to Discovery School

We believe that our school should be a child
development center, in its truest sense. This
means that we have concern for the whole
spectrum of development, including social,
emotional, physical and intellectual growth.
Emphasis is placed on accepting the child at
the level he is. We try to meet his growth needs
and to respect his individuality. The methods
we favor stress first hand experience, freedom
for the child to select activities for much of the
day, and indirect modes of teaching, centering
around play and games. In these ways, we
hope to help each child feel competent through
making, doing, and thinking.
