Our team

Discoveries Preschool has been a cornerstone of the community for over 30 years. Located in a quiet and secure neighborhood, we are committed to providing a safe, caring, and inspiring environment where children thrive.

Our current owner began her journey by working in every classroom, eventually becoming the director and, since 2005, taking on the role of owner. This rich history has brought the privilege of building heartfelt and lasting connections with our community. We’ve had the joy of watching children grow into adults who now entrust their own children to us. Equally as special, many of our former students have returned to join our team as some of our most cherished teachers!

Our preschool is proud to offer one of the largest playgrounds in the Reno-Sparks area—five times the required size! We believe outdoor play and organized games are essential for children’s physical and social development, especially in today’s busy world.

Communication is at the heart of what we do. If you have a question or concern, we will make every effort to provide an answer or solution, working closely with you to meet your child’s needs. We believe that strong communication is key to the happiness and success of both children and families.

Our teachers are trained and certified to the following:

Gina and some of our teachers at Discoveries Preschool
Our teachers and staff are registered with the State of Nevada
Our teachers have years of experience and training
Ms. Kitty is the mascot of our day care!

My kids have been going to this daycare for over 2 years and the staff feels like family. Other daycare's made me feel anxious about leaving my kids all day but my little one's teacher uses an app so I can see pictures of my kids and what crafts they are doing. Most of the time when I pick them up and they don't want to leave! I really love this place!

I highly recommend Discoveries! We have had both of our children there since they were babies. We had a terrible experience with a different daycare with our oldest before we found Discoveries and when we switched over they made us feel right at home. We have had the best experience there and will continue to keep our kids there when they are ready for the before and after school programs. Communication is amazing and we have always felt our children have been safe and taken care of. Both kids are with teachers that we have known for years.

I absolutely love this daycare I switched to this daycare about 3 years ago. I am so happy with the teachers and staff. I have never experienced any problems or issues. The staff always seems happy and cheerful and is amazing to my daughter. I would recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a safe and wonderful place to take care of their child.

I have been with Discoveries for 10 years, and in that time my two kids went through from babies all the way to before and after school program. This place is wonderful! They care about the kids and staff.
