Giguere's unique environment and multitude of resources allows our top notch child care and after school care providers to give your child a memorable, learning and fun experience. Whether you need part time, full time, nursery school, or after school care for your child, there is no better than Giguere's.

The Discovery Schoolhouse

Giguere's offers one of the best early care and education programs around. The Discovery School House strives to create a safe, healthy and positive atmosphere for children to learn and grow. Our main goals are to create situations that help build self-esteem, encourage creative thinking and develop social interaction.

Instructed gymnastics is included in the program. Gymnastics is by far the best gross motor activity for preschoolers. The curriculum will involve activities which teach responsibility and leadership skills, provide an education through hands-on fun experiences and create an appreciation of the environment. We also have a brand new, state-of-the-art facility. We are licensed by the Department of Early Education and Care and all of our teachers have early childhood education backgrounds.

Discovery School House has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children – the nation’s leading organization of early childhood professionals. NAEYC created its accreditation program in 1985 to set professional standards for early childhood education, and to help families identify high-quality child care and early education programs. To earn NAEYC’s accreditation, a program conducts a self-study to determine how well it meets the standards. After necessary improvements are made, the program is observed by independent, professional validators, and then reviewed by a national panel. Programs are accredited by NAEYC for a five-year period.
