This is my childhood daycare. In my view and opinion as a child, whenever I walked into this building it was no different than walking into my home. I connected very well with the teachers and my peers. The staff that worked there when I was still in the school were supportive and helpful. I truly have never had a better experience with a school than this one.

We were very happy with this daycare in the beginning but it just went south from there. My son started at 3.5 months and we were satisfied with the care from the infant room. A couple months into enrolling, they would move teachers in and out of that room and only had 1 teacher that was constantly in that room, and that’s where things went south. I decided to remove my son, after multiple biting situations and they forgot to feed my son his bottle and had no explanation or couldn’t remember the last time he was fed. He got bit by another student, that should have been moved to the toddler room at this point, they reported the bite to me, but when I went to pick him up, he had a 2nd bite on his foot, that they had no idea about. I had to contact the director and felt like she dismissed my concerns and honestly copied off goggle why toddlers bite. BUT this is an infant room not a toddler room. Carry on, a couple months after from the 2nd bite incident, I picked him up from daycare at my usual time, and I went in the fridge to pick up his belongings, and noticed a full bottle. I questioned as to why the bottle wasn’t given to my son, both teachers looked at me and couldn’t tell me why, one said “I fed him at 11am but not sure why he wasn’t fed at 3pm”…..turns out that teacher was lying and in-fact another teacher actually fed his 11am bottle. So no one could give me an explanation. I brought it to the directors attention, and I was told that I need to go over his schedule with the teachers again and he is eating snacks and regular food. But anyone that has infant, knows formula/BM is the priority until they turn 1. Plus bottle schedule never changed, so not sure why I would have to go over it again. The next day I get a notification in the app that my son got bit again, well actually it was labeled “attempted bite” but this was no attempted bite, he had 5 teeth marks and I could see the child’s gum outlines on my sons legs. That’s when I decided to pull my child. I read reviews before putting my son in daycare in October 2021, and felt comfortable with putting my son here. I hope you read the recent reviews and let this help your decision.

This daycare started out pretty good, but it took a turn for the worse. The owner only cares about her staff and money. If you have a child that is difficult, they are quick to give up on it. Yes, I understand that toddlers go through a lot of emotions, but that does not mean giving up on them. The toddler class had 17 toddlers to 2 teachers. My child did not have any issues until he was placed in this daycare. The teachers made it out to be that he was the instigator. I saw many toddlers do things to each other which they all learn from watching. Yet somehow it was narrowed down to one child. Their method is to try and speak to a two year old and read them a book. If that does not work with your child, they will say we have tried anything. They do not try any alternative methods to deal with the child. They simply give up. You pay them $300 a week and it is their job to find and use different methods but they do not. Having a conversation with owner gets you nowhere. She made it pretty clear that wrote off my child and putting all the blame on him. Again, using verbiage like we've tried everything when they only tried one method. She cares more about her staff than trying to work with parents and the child to find out a solution. She pretty much wrote off my child and that it was best to leave the daycare. Well here is the thing after placing my child in a different daycare, there has not been single incident. He met with teachers that were a little stern and trying other methods that have worked. They keep him busy with activities to challenge him. This daycare had me thinking all along my child was the issue, but in reality it was the daycare. To simply put it this way, if your child is not a easy to deal with or does not respond to having conversations and reading a book about behaviors, this daycare is not for you.

Stay far away! My child was being verbally abused for 2 months there. The owner did not care and literally switched it on me and said I should have pulled him out sooner. They also lied straight to our face that he was not crying for over an hour because the video footage didn't show him crying. BUT i know my son and the way he was crying he wasn't just sitting there or standing there crying. I filed a complaint against them. I spoke to other moms in my area and the owners had SCARED them into not putting a complaint. THERE ARE OTHER INCIDENCES FROM THIS SCHOOL! and it has not been spoken about publicly. DO YOUR RESEARCH! there are better schools in the area!

Today I received an email at 1:49 pm from the owner stating that she received a phone call from another students teacher with allegations of my son “bullying.”
This is out of character for my son, however her email to me was egregious. She immediately took the word of a teacher who called and relayed information and wrote me an email stating immediate action needed to be taken.
Now please keep in mind, my son is only there for before and after school. So she received a call from the elementary school during school hours and before speaking to ANY child involved or other children on the bus or her staff, she immediately jumped to conclusions and decided my child did it and was the problem.
Upon speaking to my kid, he found out another little boy had a crush on another little girl and told the other little girl about it.
This is FAR from bullying as bullying is with intent to cause harm. My child was not trying to HARM or HURT anyone.
The owner VERY easily could have sat both kids down, got to the bottom of it, and worked out a resolution. However she chose to not only send an email but PRINT the email for the girl at the front desk to give me when I picked up my son.
This is so incredibly unprofessional and incompetent.
If you are going to OWN a childcare facility and not take the due care to address and appropriately handle a situation, you have no business being there.
As a mother, I don’t condone bullying. However I am a customer and I pay a hefty tuition for my children and for someone to handle things this way, is extremely unsettling.

My daughter has been attending DP Lexington Oaks for over 2 years since she was 3 months old. It's so reassuring to know that each day she is in good hands with wonderful teachers that really care for her! The classroom provides a great environment with so many activities and I know she is learning so much. Discovery Point also gives parents access to an app the teachers can update throughout the day, including photos, so you're in the know immediately on how your child is doing - it's great! My daughter loves going to school here, I couldn't imagine her going anywhere else!

My daughter has been with Discovery Point - Lexington Oaks since she was an infant and will be seven years old soon. Watching my daughter grow into a first grader with these amazing educators has been a special experience. They care for her in a genuine way and I can see how her success in first grade is related to the influence of the Discovery Point team. When things don't go as you expect, the team communicated openly and quickly. For whatever reason, the school pictures they take are the best ones of my kiddo. I recommend this place without hesitation.

My daughter attends Discovery Point Lexington Oaks and I couldn’t imagine sending her anywhere else. The front desk staff are present and attentive to any needs or concerns that I might have. The daycare is always clean. The app the classrooms use is such a great tool at helping me feel connected and up to date with what my daughter is doing throughout the day. My daughters teacher is wonderful, she truly enjoys coming to school and as a parent that is the most important thing I could ask for.

When we moved to the area looking for a daycare that made this momma feel at ease while at work was a challenge. But the minute we walked into Discovery Point Lexington Oaks we knew it was the perfect fit. My girls have been here for the past 3.5yrs and my oldest is in their VPK wrap program. The teachers communicate well with the parents and love our babies almost as much as we do. The curriculum has beyond exceeded my expectations. Both my girls are overly prepared for K. I am grateful for all that DP does and happy to be part of their family!

Our son has attended Discovery Point since age 3. He is very happy there and the staff are all pretty awesome. They greet him each morning when we come in. He has learned a lot there and has done really well in Elementary school. He is now in their before and after care program which is a great convenience for us with working full time. They help him with his homework and he gets free time to get out all his energy. Thanks DP!

From the perspective of both a parent and an employee, I can honestly say that Discovery Point Lexington Oaks is an amazing place to be. My daughter has attended school here since she was three years old and has thrived ever since - to the point where she's skipped Kindergarten all together and is now thriving in all advanced classes in middle school. From an employee perspective, I've never been happier. I started teaching at Discovery Point after leaving a 8 year buying career in the retail industry. The management at Discovery Point gave me a chance to fulfill my dreams of teaching and has continued to push me to follow those dreams every day since I walked through the doors here. I've been a part of the team here at Discovery Point Lexington Oaks for over eight years now and have never been happier. We are a family here and that’s something that can be felt upon entry into our school. I’d encourage anyone looking for a childcare center to jump on the opportunity to join this remarkable program.

We couldn't be happier with the loving, professional staff at DP! Our eldest son is thriving and learning so much. The teachers devote so much time, energy, and creativity to their lesson plans. I know that he will be well-prepared for kindergarten. We just recently had a second child who is in the infant room. He adapted so easily when I went back to work, in large part because the staff is so attentive and sweet to him. In addition to the wonderful staff, the facility is spotless and well managed by excellent administrators and an involved/invested owner. I rest easy knowing that both of our children are safe and given excellent care every day.

Discovery Point is a safe and reliable daycare. I love how I can check on my son throughout the day to see how he is doing on the Kids Report app. There is always a friendly face and hello every time we walk through the door. They are great about communication and my son enjoys being in the preschool toddler class.
