Discoveryland Preschool and Childcare Center

Discoveryland Child Care Center is part of South Bay Christian School and has been a licensed entity since 1986. It began in one room with a single director/teacher and five children. In 1988, the center expanded to three rooms, including an infant-toddler room, through an agreement to serve the families of employees at Little Company of Mary Hospital. In 1999, three more rooms were added, and in 2018, the Sunflower Room for two-year-olds was opened, bringing the total capacity to 125 students daily. The program caters to children from 6 weeks old to pre-kindergarten. Many graduates from Discoveryland go on to attend the SBCS Transitional or Kindergarten programs.
