Discovery Playtown is a unique preschool and daycare, indoor playground, and birthday party venue.
We opened in January, 2016 as a public indoor playground and made the transition to licensed child care facility in April, 2019. We currently offer hourly drop-in care for preschool age children and will add monthly contract and drop-in care for toddlers, preschoolers and school age by the beginning of the summer. Our mission is to help children learn about themselves, others, and the world they live in through play. Our facility features a custom-designed Playtown with a realistic townscape that beckons and engages children in immersive imaginative play.
