Children's Discovery Place at Polaris

CHILDREN'S DISCOVERY PLACE AT POLARIS: 

Children's Discovery Place at Polaris is an Award-Winning, one-of-a-kind, child care facility in the Lewis Center/Polaris community.  We deliver exceptional care and exceptional education through incredibly low child to teacher ratios, a highly educated and experienced teaching staff, and a thorough educational program based on proven learning philosophies and the latest research.

Children's Discovery Place at Polaris serves children ages 6 weeks to 10 years of age.  A variety of part-time schedules are offered for every age group.  The program includes Kindergarten Enrichment and wrap around care for Olentangy Schools.  The center currently offers Summer Camp for preschool - school age.

*If you are looking for the smaller, more exclusive center that views your child as an individual with enormous potential then Children's Discovery Place is for you!  We are not a mega-chain and we do not believe in large scale cookie-cutter approaches to child care.  Every child is different and special and we customize our lesson plans, educational curriculum, special events and daily routines around them.  

Our classrooms are intentionally smaller and we limit enrollment for a better emotional and developmental experience.  Our approach and level of quality is different from the rest and is the very best foundation for young children! 

Don't miss out on reserving a spot as space is very limited - Come in and see for yourself today!

Children's Discovery Place at Polaris is now a FOUR-TIME Level 1 Step Up To Quality Award Winner!  SUTQ is a very prestigious award achieved through a quality-monitoring program that sets the highest standards in childcare.
