Discovery Elementary School

We service approximately 400 Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten children from both the Air Force Base and the local community.

Both the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten Curricula recognize children as active learners, eager and curious scholars filled with a spontaneous interest in learning, creating and experimenting.

Our Kindergarten program places great emphasis on beginning reading and mathematics skills. The Superintendent of Schools, supported by the Board of Education, continues to go to great lengths to provide all necessary instructional and support staff, as well as any materials required to insure the readiness of our student's for 1st grade.

Social development, combined with a hint of academics, is the essential ingredient of our Pre-Kindergarten program. Daily classroom activities and interactions allow children to learn about themselves, their peers and the world around them. Through play and simulation of real life experiences, children test ideas, solve problems and learn to cooperate with one another. They also develop communication, motor and cognitive skills.

The goal of our Early Childhood program is to provide your children with a stimulating environment that promotes social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth. In order to achieve this goal, it is essential for parents and teachers to work together in collaborative efforts. Both the Young Kindergarten and Kindergarten Curricula recognize children as active learners, eager and curious scholars filled with a spontaneous interest in learning, creating and experimenting.
