Discovery Isle Child Development Center

My daughter was almost 2.5 yrs old when I started her here. She had never been left alone with anyone but immediate family members. Obviously it was a rough transition for her but I couldn’t be more thankful for ms. Fayth and ms. Sandra. They are amazing and so sweet. My daughter loves them. She asks for ms. fayth all the time she absolutely loves her. I am very happy with this facility and how much my daughter is learning. Would highly suggest !!

Our daughters both attended this school from the infant room through Pre-​k. In the past eight years they have received tons of love from all of their teachers and even placed well above their peers academically when entering Kindergarten. Ms. Nefris, Ms. Katrina, Ms. Stacy, Ms. Faith, Ms. Sandra, Ms. Jessica and Ms. Jackie helped raise both of our babies. We are so blessed to have such a strong bond with these teachers! They will always be an important part of our lives!

This place is amazing and I am surprised they don’t have more reviews. To the person that complained they had bottle caps and spilled milk, well they aren’t spotless 24 hours a day, kids go to school here. You are missing out. They are so kind and loving to the kids. They are well staffed and care about the kids. They have great communication and I love that I can watch my daughter on video, they have cameras in every room. They post a letter every day on the door of each classroom letting you know what they did that day and what questions to ask your child to engage in conversation. They are very organized and clean which I love. They have a great calendar that they follow and engage with the kids. I am so pleased and feel 100% confident dropping my daughter off here every day.

My husband and I toured this school one two occasions when looking for daycare for our infant. The first was scheduled and the second was a ‘surprise’ visit. On both occasions we were shocked and disappointed with the cleanliness of the infant/​toddler room. Specifically the refrigerator and area where food and bottle were stored. Bottle caps were left on countertops and spilled/​dried milk was on the counter, floor, and handle of the fridge. Needless to say, we did not choose Discovery Isle as the school for our daughter.

My grandchildren have attended for 2 years and they will both be moving on in August to the Public school system. Ms Anita was both of my grandsons teacher. I am going to miss her enthusiasm, wit, and the creativity she brings to her classroom. This school year Ms Anita was paired with Ms Jackie, and what a great pair they made. I love that they incorporate bilingual activities into their curriculum. My expectations were surpassed in each area; curriculum, social skills, music, play and crafts. I was impressed with the level of security they maintain and the communication with parents that they foster. My grandsons never asked to stay home from school and always came home with a smile on their faces. Thank you Ms Jackie and Ms Anita. JOB WELL DONE!
I would highly recommend this school and their wonderful, caring, smiling staff and teachers.

There is a huge difference that separates a «Day Care» and a «Pre-​School;» that being said Discovery Isle in Temecula goes far beyond what any parent would expect or hope for, both of my boys are so far beyond their peers now, and it’s all thanks to their awesome teachers… mentors at Discovery Isle: Ms Jackie, Ms Anita, Ms Fayth, Ms Patty, Ms Nefris… thank you;)

Our son is in his second year at Discovery and both my wife and I agree that this has been and continues to be an outstanding program and environment. Its always difficult to leave your child in someone else’s supervision and care, but the team at Discovery Temecula made the adjustment easy as they were equipped to understand our concerns and had the experience and training to support our child and his development. Here are some of the key points that we believe are important and established our confidence: Discovery has a developmental curriculum designed for each grade and level, Discovery incorporates a second language into their program so our son is introduced to Spanish, sign language is taught at an early age, Discovery has cameras in the classroom that we can access remotely in order to check-​in, the staff and the classroom teachers are professional, highly competent, and feel like an extended part of our family, included in the curriculum is visual and performing arts, and finally discovery works with our son to facilitate potty training. Our son is the third child we have had in a daycare program, and Discovery has been an outstanding choice for us. Currently we are in the beginners program, having moved up from the infant/​toddler program and we would like to give a big Thank You! to all the staff and the teachers in both of these programs. It is difficult to adequately express our appreciation for their hard work and dedication. We would like to give a special thanks to the morning teachers in the beginner program, Miss Faith & Miss Patty!

I love this daycare and preschool for my two young children. They offer care from 6:45 A.M.- 6 P.M. They take young ones starting at 6 weeks. My 11 y/​o went to the Discovery Isle in Poway when he was little and LOVED it. The principal in Poway, where my son attended, is now the principal in Temecula. Wonderful staff and my son was always excited to go «to school.» My two little ones have been attending for the past month and the communication between myself and the teachers is excellent. You can see the ladies enjoy their work. Whenever your child does something new the teachers are always excited to give you the great news! They are part of the Nobel Learning System, so your child will learn, not just be watched. They also have a webcam, so you can always check in on your little one whenever you want! Security is taken seriously too, so no one can enter the facility without a code. I did look at care at other facilities (I always believe in due diligence), but chose Discovery Isle in Temecula, next to Staples/​Home Depot. I believe you will truly be impressed with Discovery Isle and what they offer for your little one and you.

My daughter has been out of this school for almost a year but I saw it pop up on my feed and noticed that it had little reviews so I will review it. Honestly, this school has a great curriculum for learning and advancing the intellectual skills of all children. My 5 year old niece still attends and has been for the past two years. My daughter started out early at about 3 months. I truly loved the infant classroom. There were a few caregivers that my daughter was particularly fond of. She would mostly be playing on the floor when I would pick her up but I am ok with this because it helped her mature a little faster.
The reason I am giving it three stars is because my daughter was moved up to the second stage of the infant classroom, for toddlers. It was here that I felt that the staff to student ratio was too high for close contact, love and nurturing for the children. I cannot say enough good things about Mrs. Nefris from the infant side of the facility! She is beyond awesome and very communicative. My daughter just never warmed up to the toddler side. She would cry every time I dropped her off and every time when she saw me as I was picking her up. I felt that the curriculum was great but the atmosphere was a little too cold for children that young because there were too many children for the amount of staff provided. I ended up not needing care anymore but have since found a great substitute for childcare by an in-​home provider.
It just depends on what you expect for your child. I lean on the love and nurturing side than on the curriculum. In the right environment, every child will excel in my opinion.

The infant room was amazing, my son needed extra support and love while he received medical treatment. The 2 year old room has an excellent education. My only sadness is that the connection between the 2 year old teacher and my son is not very close. For some reason they do not connect. The aid in the classroom is amazing and very caring this compensates some for the poor relationship with the head teacher.
The class size can get a bit large and cumbersome. At this point there are 22 children in the classroom with only 2 teachers. Though that is with in the minimum as outlined by state standards I think for what the tuition is we should do better then the minimum. So were are not sure about keeping my son in this classroom. We are giving it a bit of time to see if things improve.

My son just finished the Kindergarten program at Discovery Isle with a tiny ceremony on the outside playground that brought tears to the eyes of all watching, including myself. We first brought him to Discovery Isle 5 years ago at the tender age of 4 months old, and they have been in charge of his care during work days ever since. Each step of the way they seem to have taken care to provide as much learning opportunity as is appropriate. The open area they have for non-​walking infants is great, as it allows the babies to roll around and start trying to walk without fear of being stomped on or falling on anything hard. This place does not feel like just a bunch of baby sitters, rather it feels like people who, as the term «Child Development Center» suggests, work to help kids develop. I would definitely send another child there, with my only reservation being that they would have to leave after kindergarten.
