Where every child’s potential is celebrated, and a world of wonder awaits.
Who We Are...
At Azusa Discovery Center Preschool and School Age, Inc., we are more than just a preschool; we are a community dedicated to nurturing the boundless potential of each child. With a legacy of fostering a love for learning and a commitment to providing a safe and supportive environment, we pride ourselves on being a second home for children. Our passionate educators, diverse programs, and welcoming atmosphere reflect who we are—a place where childhood dreams take flight, curiosity thrives, and lifelong friendships are formed.
Our Philosophy
Azusa Discovery Center is transforming early childhood education through play, reflection, mindfulness, and teacher/student engagement as we cultivate a foundation for meaningful and intentional connections with our students, families, staff, and community which promotes the competence to set a foundation for developing the whole child. Azusa Discovery Center creates and maintains a safe, nurturing, trusting, and supportive environment for all our children, families, and staff.
Our vision
Azusa Discovery Center’s mission is to be intentional when building a collaborative learning community. We envision that our students can become future leaders by being active participants in, and shapers of their world; to grow cognitively, socially, emotionally, and globally through child-based and teacher facilitated developmentally appropriate practices that will serve as a foundation for future learning.
Our mission
Azusa Discovery Center is dedicated to fostering a collaborative community of families and educators to create a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment that supports children’s holistic development—physical, emotional, cognitive, creative, and social. Through play-based learning and hands-on discovery, the center inspires children to actively engage with their world, cultivating curiosity and foundational skills for lifelong learning. Committed to making learning joyful and meaningful, the center prioritizes the responsibility of nurturing young minds, preparing them for kindergarten and future success by embracing play as the essential work of childhood.
