EXERCISE AND HEALTHY FOOD CHOICES
Children at Discovery Village are physically active. Opportunity for both indoor and outdoor active play occurs daily at our day care and early childhood learning center. We have additional enrichment programming such as soccer and yoga. Attention is given in our exemplary day care activities to motor skills, fun, and development of lifelong positive approach to physical fitness.
Each day at Discovery Village, our children enjoy a healthy breakfast, lunch, and two snacks. Our menus are designed by a licensed dietician, and prepared fresh on-site daily by our own chef. There is a four week meal schedule with different options each day. We review the menu monthly and update to tailor to providing child-friendly meals of high nutritious value.
