Upon turning 2, my child attended Discovery Point. Our family just moved to the area. Despite having a language delay, the center said that theyd be willing to work with my child. However, over the next 4 weeks, she was repeatedly sent home. She was even threatened with suspension due to behavior. My child, who had never previously had any behavior issues at previous daycare centers was said to be intentionally hitting the teacher and a student. At 2 years old, I find the intent highly unlikely.When I spoke to her teacher, she admitted that her class was very full. She didnt have time to work with my child. Additionally, the center director stated that maybe she would be better served in a smaller environment with a smaller student to teacher ratio. Another staff member made the condescending comment that her behavior was a reflection of her home-life. I found this assumption rude, given the language delay and the new two year old tantrum stage that my child was experiencing . Additionally, I was also 36 weeks pregnant! During this time, I felt as though my child was regarded as a burden rather than someone who was undergoing multiple transitions. The family partnership was lacking and everyone seemed to only criticize my child. WE ONLY STAYED HERE FOR 4 WEEKS.Overall, as a fellow K-12 educator, I find the practices at this center developmentally inappropriate and overly punitive. Based on my experience, it appears that teachers and staff only believe in a one size fits all approach to education. They do not have or make the time to work with ALL students. In my opinion, pass this center by...there are plenty others in the surrounding area. My family and I found another that genuinely gets to know families and its students.If working at this center, please invest in whole brain teaching approaches as well as developmentally approaching instruction for young children. Perhaps it will help the entire team.Nonetheless, I wish them the best. Not a fit for us.

They did all four my babies wrong and its too much to type. They sent my daughter home with a rash and I took her home and open her legs and it looks like someone tried to split her. Im the only one who change my daughter other than the school she was always clean. It was not a rash as they said it looked more like a scape or scab. They sent her diaper cream back home unopen. And it looked likest put Vaseline on her instead of what I bought. Not sure what they used on my baby. They messed up all her brand-new outfits and refused to put bib on her during meals.

This school is amazing. My son and I loved this daycare. Everyone is so nice and polite. His teachers help him walk. My son is delayed but they are very patient and understanding. My son been going to this daycare since he was 1. Im sad that he does not attend any more due to funds and Im out of work. I would recommend. This is a school that cares about kids.

My family loves Discovery Point in Fayetteville. The staff is very friendly. Its a safe, clean and very effective school!All the teachers my daughter has had thus far, has been a tremendous help in my daughter life.

Im happy I was referred to Discovery Point. My childs experience there has been great. The Staff treats my child like family which makes me feel at ease. The center focuses on education and offers extra curricular activities including Dance and Basketball (HOOPS) which I appreciate because it exposes my child to different things without having to leave the facility. The extra bonus is Parents Night Out that is offered once a month which I take advantage of each and every time. I definitely would recommend Disocvery Point to others.

My husband and I could not be more pleased with the care that our son has received at Discovery Point New Hope. The teachers and administrators alike, have always been attentive and caring. It is obvious that the overall well-being of the students is top priority. As working parents it is such a blessing to know that when you drop your child off at daycare that they will be cared for in a nurturing environment that is the next best thing to family!

I am a parent of twins that are now 5 years old and have been attending Discovery Point 56 since they were 8 months. I have been more than pleased with the quality of care my children have received. Discovery Point has excelled at meeting the developmental needs of my children as infants as well as toddlers. Due to the attention the staff and director have devoted to my children, they have developed an increased vocabulary and love of learning. Discovery Point has also helped to develop their social skills as well as their respect for others. The center is always immaculate. The staff is constantly working to maintain a clean and safe environment for the children. I can also say for a fact that the scholarship fund was not used to pay for the owner to go on a trip; as my children are the recipients of that money. The love and patience the staff and director put into the children make me realize how blessed we are to have found a place we could call our kids’ home away from home. Discovery Point has provided my children with the life, learning and discipline skills necessary to thrive in their next stage of educational development. All of my expectations and much more have been met at Discovery Point. I enthusiastically recommend Discovery Point to any parent looking for a secure, nurturing, and loving environment.

Words can’t express how pleased we are with Discovery Point New Hope! What I like most is how their academic programs focus highly on preparing the children for the next level. The teachers, directors, and the owner, Shanette Battle are all professionals and they are passionate about children and their well being. Our daughter who attends the center has made lasting relationships with many of the teachers that she interacts with each day. We are completely confident that she is truly loved and cared for. We could have not asked for a better experience and school....I have recommended many of my friends to Discovery Point New Hope because of the quality care that I receive for my child. We love this place!

My wife and I absolutely love this place. We cant thank the teachers and staff enough for treating our kids like family. The friendly service and fun environment had us sold from our initial visit. A special thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Battle for truly giving our kids a second home!

I absolutely love this center.. my child has learned so much. I read the previous post from an upset parent and I totally disagree with their review. If your child has a behavior problem and the center has to constantly contact you about your child, then it may not be the place for your child... and it’s not the centers responsibility to find another school for your child. The students are very happy and the curriculum they use is excellent. I love the fact that they provide breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner. They also have a parent’s night out every month.

They have constant staff changes. Poor communication from leadership. They watch your child as opposed to developing them. They have tablets and laptops in the classroom to occupy the kids rather than activities. I had to recommend safety enhancements for sharp edges in classrooms. The price continues to go up while the service diminishes. The teachers aren’t happy. They have a non chalant disposition while the front desk person passes the buck. If I had more time I’d stand in front of this location with a “Shame on Discovery Point” banner. No way these other reviews are real...

We had an excellent experience with Discovery Point. The teachers were very caring and my son learned a lot. If I had any problems with the teachers or students, I would voice my concerns with the owner and she would handle the situation. The teachers do believe in homework, so be prepared to work with your child at home.

Overall, the family experience is great at Discovery Point Child Development, 305 GA-314. I love the customer service, the nurturing, the parent nights out that occur often and learning activities for the children. The only con I have is the lack of availability for parking and the location is near high traffic area daily.

I would have given them a rate of zero. My husband and I had my son for one year and a half here. Every thing he learned ive already taught him. I took him out of a smaller setting school thinking Discovery point was better.NOT they have great activities and amenities however dont really teach. And the teachers always unhappy and changing. my son class had 20 kids one of the teachers Ms. Tameka was the chef, teacher and monitored front desk. They beg for cleaning supplies and that ugly ms tina is racist. Teachers very unhappy. My baby went back to his old school and advance more in 3 weeks than in one year with kiddie kottage. knowing his bible scriptures, writing , sight words etc.and a report for him every day with 3to 5 worksheets done each day .Dont believe the hype. Discovery point at new hope is not that great. Ppl hear new hope and think of the church. Discovery point at new hope has no affiliation with new hope church
