My daughter just finished up VPK here and I must say this place is an absolute wonder. VPK is treated like real school. My daughter started off the school year at the 90th percentile in reading and is now at the 99th. We work and do wraparound care and the extended hours until 6:30p are also great for pickup.
The school does SO many enrichment activities for the kids. So many spirit weeks, school dances, picture days, and just general activities. They really go all out for the special events and make it very worth it for the children.
Special shout out to Ms. Maria, Ms. Nadja, Ms. Loretta & Meeka at the front desk, Ms. Shirley, Ms. Addy, and Ms. Emmalyn. As long as we are in the area my daughter will continue here for summer and aftercare as well!

Well first off some of the employees are very welcoming , understanding , can care for the children , but those ladies who sit in the front only care about the money . They are not willing to work with your child . If your child shows any expressive behavior you have to pick them up . If they get into it with another child you have to pick them up . They do not know conflict/resolution at all . I absolutely will not recommend this place to anybody ! Just as fast as I enrolled my child is as fast as I took him out .

I wasn't sure about this place for my daughter's vpk class but they surprised me. She loves going to school. They always send you pics of the day threw their app. Which really helped to see what they did from day to day. I would use this daycare again if I ever needed one. Thank you so much for everything you have done for my daughter. I couldn't of picked a better place for her to attend vpk

My daughter has attended VPK here since the fall and she has come such a long way academically. She is officially ready for kindergarten in the fall thanks to the amazing staff and teachers at Discovery Point.

Both of my children have received care here. They are always friendly and really seem to have the best interests of the kids in mind. Highly recommend!

Discovery Point is amazing! My daughter has been attending since October and they have done nothing but cared for her since she started. She has learned so much from being there. I love hearing the songs she sings from school everyday.❤️ 10/10 would recommend!

If you are looking for a daycare in the Valrico area, don’t bother looking anywhere else! We have been taking our kids here for 3 years and absolutely love it! My son is now in kindergarten and is above grade level thanks to their staff going above and beyond.. prepping him for school and introducing structure/curriculum as early as 1-2 years old! They even have a bus to bring them to elementary school and pick them up for aftercare if needed! They have taken and still take great care of our kids which to us, is priceless!

My son has been going here for 3 years and would have gone way sooner if we knew what a gem this place was! I worked for DCF and daycares and know first hand how difficult it is to find one that loves your child like you do. Discovery Point does just that. They are extremely responsive and address any concerns professionally and timely. We have seen them handle the COVID crisis with the utmost safety while remaining open the entire time and provided alternative learning solutions which was a Godsend to all parents. I could not place a higher recommendation anywhere. This is the best investment you could make for your child in their early years.

I love this daycare and will miss them so much! They were super flexible with my family during covid. My 2 year old was with them since he was 6 weeks. After the stay at home order, I also sent my 8 year old that was previously at another after school program. I felt really confident in the cleaning and safety precautions Discovery Point had put in place. They are clean and caring! Special shout out to Ms Loretta and Ms Addy who always had to deal with crazy me!

My child had only been going here for three and a half months and she has already been pulled out. She did a complete 180 after starting here with no longer using the potty, completely distant from all the people she loved most (including us her parents) and became so angry. She was coming home DAILY with scratches, bite marks, nail marks, and pinching marks. I was the one be made to sign incident reports daily for her being aggressive and yet never being notified of her being injured. When I would asked the answer would always be I'm not sure. Towards the end she also wasn't wanting to eat there anymore. I called and spoke with Loretta and asked what was going on, this isn't my kid, she doesn't act this way. I was told she was two and it will be fine. It didn't get better but just kept getting worse. She started saying her teacher was mean and when I asked her how she would receive a boo boo she would say Nancy mean (her teacher). I moved her to another daycare and guess what.... I have my fun loving daughter back. She is so excited to go every day and is back to making progress on using the potty and just being a happy kid again. I should have followed my gut when it all first started but I just thought maybe she was having a hard time adjusting. Not that she was being emotionally and physically abused.

I absolutely love this school. Mrs. Meeka has brought so much joy and education in my child’s life. He was behind from being at another school and She turned it around in no time.

Update. Discovery Point is still tops on my list of daycares in the Greater Brandon area. We've visited many and enrolled at five. The reason we are not enrolled there now, is that the location is way off our new commute routes.Otherwise, my previous comments all still apply. Kudos to Ms. Lorraine and her teaching staff. 5 stars. Wow, this place is no joke on academics! We've struggled with our daughter being held back academically at other daycares, because she stubbornly refused to fully potty train. She was being left behind with the 2-3 years even though her reading has always been ahead of her peers. I originally only picked Discovery Point because my commute changed with my new job. But WOW what a difference! Ms. Loretta didn't flinch with the potty training. Our daughter is now with her age group, learning to write her letters and she LOVES her "new school"!
