Welcome to Discovery Days Childcare in Wind Lake

​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.

We absolutely love that we found Discovery Days-Wind Lake for our son three years ago and now again for our newborn. Finding a daycare was so stressful and we didn’t really even know where to start. We initially looked into Discovery Days because of its location to our jobs but also because it had high ratings on all platforms. Those ratings are completely accurate and we are thankful this is where we send our son to spend his days. He is now one of the brightest and most talkative toddlers around. He learns so much everyday and is so well cared for. Every teacher at Discovery Days knows all the students names even if not in their rooms. Not only do they know names but they also know important details like dietary constraints and health concerns. Each teacher my son has had has been exceptional. His main teachers over the last year, Ms. Jenn, Ms. Rachel and Ms Julia are so involved and creative. He talks so highly of them and gets excited to see them. We also had great experiences with Ms. Jamie, Ms. Kim and Ms. Danielle. They truly are all great. I’m also thoroughly impressed by the leadership at Discovery Days. Ms. Brandi and Ms. Josie know everything there is to know about every student. They are highly organized and make sure every child is safe and cared for and that all ratio policies are always being followed. They keep in constant contact with parents about all the happenings going on whether good or bad. Another small benefit is the Kaymbu app they use. I receive pictures daily through the app as well as can monitor how his nap, eating and potty training is going while he’s at school. It also shows what activities and lessons they complete. It is really nice to get those updates throughout the day and be at peace about his care while we’re at work. 100% recommend Discovery Days Wind Lake and could go on and on about how great they have been to have as part of our family and for our son.

We have been using Discovery Days for almost 5 years now. Both my kids have been attending since they turned 12 weeks old. The staff has become like a second family to our children! I love the ease of communication and quick responses whenever I have a question or concern. I would highly recommend this center to anyone looking for childcare.

We have loved our experience at Discovery Days over the past 3 years! Starting daycare at 1.5 was a huge transition, but his first teachers made him feel so welcomed and comfortable right away. Every classroom has helped him grow in different ways — from hands-on activities and structure, to sensory bins, potty training, academics, and helping him work through transitions. I love that learning is fun and interactive with circle time, art, shaving cream activities, magnet letters, and lots of hands-on learning. The outdoor play area is newer, safe, and one of my child’s favorite parts of the day. The directors are always responsive and supportive with schedule changes and family needs, and truly work with parents to do what is best for each child. They also do such a great job creating community through events like science fairs, dance parties, Mother’s/Father’s Day events, and carnivals. We are so grateful for the care and support our child has received here!
