Welcome to Discovery Days Childcare in Franklin, WI

​Discovery Days offers a childcare program that focuses on the children and their individual needs.  We follow the Wisconsin Model for Early Learning Standards which fosters social and academic learning. We take pride in the service we provide and look forward to making a difference in the life of your family!

Why Discovery Days Preschool is Your Best Choice

We have been providing quality early childhood education and care to families since 2000. We believe that a positive early childhood experience is crucial to a child’s development. Our programs are designed to help children learn at their own pace. Group activities are designed with the developmental needs of each age group in mind. A good deal of time is allotted for children to explore the various interest centers in their classroom.

Providing a program that fosters early educational learning, positive social interaction and working to achieve age appropriate milestones helps prepare our children for their future.

We provide a nurturing and socially stimulating environment for children according to their age and individuality. We believe childhood is the beginning of many life adventures, and we provide the care that makes the difference.

At Discovery Days we understand that children learn in a variety of ways. As much as they can learn within our walls, they’ll learn an equal amount through their personal experience outside of our walls, in the community.

Ascend Curriculum

Our Ascend Curriculum develops academic, physical, emotional, and creative skills and features activities in subjects such as Cultural Understanding, Baby Signs, Literacy, Mathematics, and Technology. We find that children learn best when activities are geared towards their interests. Our teachers are encouraged to individualize activities and engage in small group instruction so they can better respond to the needs and interests of each child. Even the youngest children in the infants program can benefit from the Ascend Curriculum.

Kristen Allen

School Director

I graduated in 2022 from NWTC with an associate degree in early childhood education. I began working at Cadence Academy in New Berlin as an infant teacher in 2018. I was promoted to the Assistant Director position in 2023. In late 2024, I was promoted to Director of Discovery Days in Franklin. I enjoy working for Cadence Education and I look forward to growing with this company. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband Jack, our children, Emma, Saylor, and Jack.

Olivia Lopez

Olivia Lopez

Assistant Director

My name is Olivia Lopez, and I am excited to be the new Assistant Director at Discovery Days Airways. I started in the early childhood field 15 years ago. I have worked in many different settings as a nanny, respite care for children with special needs, head start programs, clinic manager for an ABA company and most recently, I was a center director for a small bilingual center in Milwaukee. I joined the Cadence team as a teacher back in December 2024. In my free time, I love to do anything outdoors when the weather is nice, especially with my two Siberian huskies, Romeo and Dahlia. I enjoy traveling, reading, crafting, and binge watching tv shows. I am looking forward to this new opportunity and am eager to get to know the staff, families, and children.

Luz Diaz Telles

Teacher of the Year

Hello! My name is Ms. Luz, and I’m so excited to be part of the toddler team here at Discovery Days Franklin. I’ve been working with young children for over 24 years, and I truly believe the toddler years are a magical time full of discovery, growth, and big emotions—and I feel honored to help guide and support them through it all.

I have an associate’s degree in early childhood education and I’m passionate about creating a warm, safe, and fun environment where every child feels loved and encouraged to explore the world around them. Whether it’s through music, story time, messy play, or quiet cuddles, I love getting to know each child’s unique personality and helping them build confidence and independence.

I’m so glad to be part of this wonderful community.

We have 2 children at Discovery Days (now preschool and toddler rooms) and have had such a positive experience in the 2 years we've been there. My 4.5 year old is always talking about his friends and teachers and what they did that day. The director Kristen and asst director Olivia are friendly, communicative, accommodating, and involved. Our kids have had wonderful teachers in each of their classrooms and we feel more than comfortable knowing they are in their care. The app is great and we love to get updates throughout the day, especially photos.

Our daughter has been in the infant 1 room since may 28th and has had a great time so far! It’s clear she loves her teachers Leah and Maquela. They’ve been so patient with her (she had a rough week) and always give her the best care. I couldn’t ask for a better team to watch my little girl while we’re at work! Thank you for all that you do

We enrolled my son here about 6 months ago when he was 2.5 years old, and it was truly the best decision we ever made! Having never been in daycare before, we were worried at first about how he would adjust, but within the first month his speech and non-verbal communication skills had drastically improved and was telling us how much he loves his teachers on the car rides home. (Josie, Syerra, and Miranda- lots of I love you’s as soon as we leave!) All of the teachers and directors are so down-to-earth, know you and the kids by name, make you feel welcomed, have incredible communication with families, and have such a well-structured educational plan each week. The offering of fresh, high quality, meals and snacks each day make life so much easier for busy parents who don’t have time to pack food and every day, and the menu variety has done wonders expanding his palate. My only regret is not starting him sooner!

The teachers in both infant rooms are absolutely amazing and come up with so many different engaging activities that work on so many different skill sets to help our kiddo grow and develop. I cannot say enough positive things about this daycare! The director and assistant director are doing wonderful work nurturing a positive and supportive environment for both children and parents. They truly value everyone involved. 10/10 recommend!
