Bedford Discovery School

At Bedford Discovery School, we help children blaze their individual paths along a discovery trail of development. Every day is filled with the possibility of new and exciting experiences and challenges as children embark on daily adventures in play and learning.

Facilities include a new 8,800 square foot building specially designed to meet the needs of young children. Colorful, spacious classrooms create an inviting atmosphere and promote a safe, nurturing environment in which growing children can thrive and come alive with ideas. The large 10,000 square foot playground, designed to accommodate the developmental capabilities of each age group, has state of the art equipment, safety fall zones and grassy fields for children to enjoy.

Flexible scheduling at Bedford Discovery School allows for full and half-day programs for toddlers, pre-school children, kindergarteners, as well as full days for infants. Before and after school programs are also offered for school age children. Recognizing the varying needs of families in the community, our school operates year-round on a corporate calendar and is open Monday through Friday from 6:30a.m. to 6:30p.m.

Family participation is essential in providing the best overall educational experience for children. We are committed to maintaining open communication and confidentiality in order to build the trust that supports the visions and needs of our community. We encourage family involvement, including drop-in visits, in order to create a seamless bond between home and school. Partnerships between parents and staff members build a strong foundation on which children can grow.

Programs have been carefully designed to follow the trail of children’s needs and imaginations in a highly creative environment of learning through discovery. It is our belief that children in the early years learn best through play. Our program integrates multi-cultural awareness into every day activities. Science, art, music, story time, math manipulatives, computers, large motor activities, creative dramatics, puzzles, meal/snack time, and rest time are all part of your child’s day. Enrichment programs organized by visiting nature and marine experts, musicians, magicians, storytellers and field trips are provided to broaden children’s horizons.

After school is an important time for children to unwind and relax following a busy school day. Computers and games are available, as are opportunities for arts and crafts, nature study, outdoor fun and other creative outlets. After school hours are structured yet flexible for older children to socialize and enjoy quiet activities such as reading a favorite doing homework.

Security at Bedford Discovery School ensures that every parent’s child is safe. We take our responsibility seriously by providing a state of the art security system and requiring that only those people cleared to visit with or pick children up from school are allowed to do so.
