"My son has been attending TDH for over 2 years now, and the growth and development I've seen over this time has been wonderful. I love seeing the updates we get each day to see what he's up to, and all the wonderful learning and activities he's involved in. He loves his educators and friends at TDH. Highly recommend this pre-school!"

"Our family absolutely loves Discovery House! The teachers are incredibly nurturing and truly care about each child's growth and happiness. The classrooms are bright, inviting, and full of hands-on learning activities. My child has become more confident, curious, and social since starting here. We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful place and I will be forever grateful for all of the staff's unconditional support."

"My son has been at The Discovery House for a year now and is absolutely thriving. The educators are so incredibly caring and attentive and the centre continually goes above and beyond to provide an engaging and educational environment for the children. My son literally runs in the gates every day and we couldn't be more happy with the care he receives."

"We absolutely love The Discovery Hose. Both of my children have attended here, and the educators have always been incredibly stable, patient, and professional. Being family-owned makes communication easy, yet the management is still highly professional. We feel very lucky to have such a reliable and caring childcare so close to home."

"Our son has just finished his year as a bumblebee at The Discovery House and we have seen him transform from a shy, cautious little one, to a confident, social and capable big boy! His educators have shown great care and enthusiasm supporting his growth and learning and we have been very pleased with our choice to send him to The Discovery House!"

"We have had two kids go through The Discovery House over four years and it has been the most amazing service. It is a small family-run centre with fantastic educators who actually know your child and create individual development plans to best support your child's resilience, independence, and gross and fine motor skills while focusing on their strengths. As soon as my two-year-old started at Discovery House, he refused to go to his other daycare centre because even he could tell the difference. We are sad our time at Discovery House has come to an end but know they have prepared our kids well for school."
