Jennifer: I found BDS by asking around and visiting many in the area. I have multi-aged children who attend year-round. The school day is structured so that the kids know what to expect and look forward to each day. Arts and crafts, music and movement, sports, exploration, science and nature, free play, story times, etc., are part of each day. The school runs year-round, and during the summer months, it's more like camp. Each week in the summer is a different theme - dog week, bird week, music week, cooking week, etc.

Features and Comments
Features: The only thing I can say about the cost is that it's worth every cent.Comments: My kids, 4 1/2 and 3 (when review was written), have been at Bedford Discovery School since they were both 18 months old, going for two full-days a week. they now both go for three full-days. Not once have I ever considered taking my kids out for any reason. They have thrived there and have learned so much - socially and intellectually. In fact, most kids have been there since they were 18 months or younger and skip into the classrooms! The teachers are nothing but professional, the new owner was a teacher there years ago, left to start her family and her children are now at Bedford Discovery. These teachers put their heart and soul into nurturing our children, giving them room to grow and explore in a safe, healthy environment. In fact, my 4 1/2 year old came home the other day explaining capillary action to me! This school is much more than a place to drop your kids to color and play outside! Our family couldn't be happier.
Dates attended: 2005 - now.
