★★★★★Jess LubinskiWe have been fortunate to be a part of the Children's Discovery Center in Waterville for the past year and a half, and we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience our children have had. The warmth and welcoming nature of your staff have truly made a difference in our children's lives. Your team not only shows them love and compassion but also fosters essential skills such as listening, following directions, and developing academic abilities. We are deeply appreciative of the nurturing environment you have created and the invaluable techniques you impart to our children. We are thankful for the daily updates on our children. We feel incredibly blessed to be associated with such a dedicated program at Children's Discovery Center. Thank you for all that you do!
★★★★★Amanda HovarterOur family cannot say enough wonderful things about Children’s Discovery Center. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warmth and dedication of the staff. The teachers and caregivers are truly invested in each child’s growth, creating an environment that feels both nurturing and inspiring. The center’s focus on hands-on learning through play - where children are encouraged to explore, create, and discover using natural textures and materials - truly sets them apart. It’s incredible to see how these sensory-rich experiences spark curiosity and imagination while building important developmental skills. As a parent, I feel so grateful knowing my child is in such capable and compassionate hands. Children’s Discovery Center is more than just a childcare center - it’s a community where children thrive, families feel supported and learning is truly an adventure!
★★★★★Kristen ShryockChildren’s Discovery Center has hands-down been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our kid. We adored our in-home sitter for his first two years, but moving to CDC gave us something we didn’t realize we were missing: real consistency and stability. In just six months, the growth we’ve seen has been wild. He’s sharper, more curious, and soaking up everything they teach. And it’s not just academics—his social skills and empathy have taken off too. Sure, the first couple of weeks were a little bumpy (transition chaos is a rite of passage), but once he found his rhythm, he was all in. He loves going to school. He adores his teachers—especially Ms. Mary, who gets talked about approximately 10,000 times a day when he is home. We’re genuinely grateful to be part of this community, and we’ll be sticking with CDC for the long haul. Ms. Lisa has been such a northstar for us. THANK YOU CDC for being so impactful for our family. We feel loved and most importantly safe and cared for.
★★★★★Michelle RasorOur kids have been in pre-k, kindergarten, and before/aftercare at the Waterville CDC. I can confidently say that when they are at CDC, I never spend a second worrying about them. I know that they are in good hands. We are thankful to have found such a high quality childcare center.
★★★★★Alexa HavlicekWe absolutely love our CDC family!! Ms Lisa and Ms Shannon truly care about the kids and families and we’ve loved all of the teachers. We’ve been there for 4 yrs and we have had the best experience!
