If you're looking for a safe, clean environment, competent administration, structured learning, and stability with trusted adults, then do NOT send your child to Discovery Isle in Murrieta. To be fair, there are some truly exceptional teachers here--Ms. Blake, Ms. Cathy, and Ms. Tina genuinely care about the children and made a positive impact on our family. Unfortunately, the overall quality of the school declined significantly during the 2.5 years my children were enrolled. While there were numerous concerns, the two biggest issues were safety and administration. Safety Concerns * The cameras mounted in each classroom appear operational but are actually nonfunctional. I understood from the beginning they were not intended as a live feed for parents, but I was under the impression that they recorded incidents for later review if concerns arose. I was disappointed to learn that was not the case. * The playground is not privately enclosed, making it visible from the parking lot. Any weirdo or creep on the street can observe the children at play. * Classroom windows have no curtains or coverings, leaving little opportunity to reduce visibility from outside during an emergency. * During a recent (~April 2026) threat that was reportedly made against Discovery Isle locations, administration chose to notify parents by email rather than through an immediate mass text alert. In a situation involving a potential safety threat, I expected a faster and more direct method of communication. Administrative Concerns * School communications--including emails, text messages, and newsletters--frequently contained spelling and grammatical errors. While this may seem minor, it reflected a lack of attention to detail from the leadership team. * If your childcare expenses are supplemented through a third-party program (ours was through the military), carefully review your invoices. On multiple occasions we had to follow up because credits were not applied correctly. This resulted in thousands LOST due to the credits not being applied and too much time lapsed for us to receive those funds. * Communication with administration was consistently frustrating. Phone calls and emails often went unanswered, leaving in-person conversations as the only reliable option. But in person conversations are not a viable option, given that administration will fabricate communications or imply that they never happened. (Pro tip: get EVERYTHING in writing with them. Even the things that don't seem important) * In our experience, administration appeared to form lasting opinions about children based on isolated incidents. Once a child was labeled as having "behavioral issues," it often felt as though every interaction was viewed through that lens. We received frequent calls describing incidents that seemed exaggerated compared to what classroom teachers reported. * When we attempted to discuss concerns directly, we often felt dismissed rather than heard. Conversations felt one-sided, with little willingness to consider parent feedback or collaborate on solutions. Ultimately, these ongoing issues led us to enroll our children elsewhere. The difference has been remarkable. Since changing schools, we've seen significant improvements in our children's happiness, confidence, learning, and overall development. The supposed "behavioral problems" have all ceased to exist, demonstrating the importance of who you entrust your children with. Every family's experience may be different, but based on ours, I cannot recommend Discovery Isle in Murrieta. I encourage parents to thoroughly research their options, ask detailed questions about safety procedures and administrative practices, and trust their instincts when choosing a school for their children. read more

We couldn't be happier with our experience at Discovery Isle. From day one, every teacher and staff member has been incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. Our son had a tough time adjusting during his first couple of weeks, and the teachers supported him (and us!) with so much compassion and encouragement. Their genuine care made all the difference. Now, he absolutely loves going to school! He literally claps and smiles when we tell him it's time to go! Seeing how excited and happy he is each morning gives us so much peace of mind. As first time parents, there's nothing more important than knowing our child is safe, loved, and cared for, and that's exactly how we feel every day. We are so grateful to have found a school that treats our most valuable treasure with such kindness and attention. Thank you to the entire team for your ongoing support, positivity, and the love you show our little one every single day. We truly appreciate everything you do! read more

Great diverse preschool with teachers and staffs that are honestly warm and play a significant role in the kids overall start of school experience. From the first time we walked in and toured to almost a year later, we are very thankful to have made the decision to bring my son here. Thankful so much for his teachers , the love and care and efforts in teaching them overall! As a first timer in the kids schooling early experience, I would have not had it another way. Thank you Discovery isle for all your efforts!!! read more

My daughter has been going here for a year now. Everyone is soo sweet and caring. Miss Nefris is so helpful and has the best bond with our daughter. Miss Cathy, Miss Vanessa, and Miss Blake are the sweetest teachers; they show so much patience and understanding for the little kiddos and we love them! read more

We have had a wonderful experience at this school. From the front office staff to the teachers, everyone is welcoming, caring, and truly dedicated to the students' success. It is clear that they genuinely care about each child's well-being and academic growth. One thing that stands out is their strong commitment to safety, which gives parents peace of mind knowing their children are in a secure and supportive environment. The teachers go above and beyond to provide engaging and advanced learning opportunities that help students reach their full potential. We are grateful to be part of a school community that prioritizes both education and the overall development of its students. Highly recommended! read more

This preschool has been nothing short of amazing. My wife and I were looking for a place to bring our daughter and we were looking everywhere. We went to a open house on a Saturday and the atmosphere was very welcoming. We signed up our daughter and she has absolutely loved going there everyday. From the moment you arrive you are greeted by the Principal or Vice Principal. My daughter's teacher Ms. Kathy has been absolutely amazing. Everyday my daughter comes home excited about what she learned in her class. The services provided are well worth the value. Since attending their have been numerous activities that the school provides that we're very enjoyable to attend. If you are looking for a preschool for your child this is highly recommended. read more

Discovery Isle Preschool - Front of the building - Preschools Near Me - Murrieta, California

This is a wonderful school! We've been going here for about 3 years so have experienced several classrooms and teachers, they've all been wonderful. The administrative staff is also fantastic keeping parents informed and updated. It's clear that everyone cares about their students. They provide a nice a balance of education and play. My son loves it and looks forward to seeing his friends and teachers every day and I appreciate knowing he's well prepared for starting kindergarten. The school schedule offers excellent coverage with long full day hours and minimal school closures. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this school. We are new to the area and recently had a baby which was a lot of change for our little preschooler. Ms. Christa and Ms.Ruby have been phenomenal with helping our son grow and transition. I feel so comfortable knowing he is under their care and he has grown to love them so much. They provide daily updates and pictures but also pay such special attention to each child's needs. The school provides a lot of activities for parent involvement and I love the security they provide with personal codes to enter the building and to check in our son. read more

In honor of Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to give a huge thank you to my daughter's preschool teacher, Ms. Lupe, at Discovery Isle. She is truly the best teacher we could have ever asked for! Transitioning into preschool was not easy for us. My daughter had been home with me full-time, and adjusting to a new environment took time. Around 2 1/2 years old, I began to realize just how bright she was--she needed a space where she could grow, learn, and be around other children. As helpful as Ms. Rachel and YouTube were in the early years, nothing compares to real-life interaction with a caring, skilled teacher. That's why we feel so lucky to have found Discovery Isle. Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, it's 100% worth it to give our daughter the best possible preschool experience--something we believe will set the foundation for her future success in kindergarten and beyond. But let me tell you--when Ms. Lupe joined Discovery Isle, everything changed. Our daughter loved school before, but now she looks forward to it with so much excitement. Ms. Lupe brings such warmth and creativity to the classroom. She has a treasure box the kids can pick from when they're doing well, and our daughter is always so proud to show us her little rewards. In the mornings, we don't even say, "It's time for school"--we say, "Let's go see Ms. Lupe," and she lights up every time. Ms. Lupe is like our very own Ms. Rachel--only better, because she's real and right there, giving our daughter the love, encouragement, and structure she needs to thrive. On top of all that, when it was our daughter's birthday, Ms. Lupe went above and beyond by organizing a class celebration complete with cupcakes and a beautifully set birthday table. We're beyond grateful to have her in our lives, and we thank the staff at Discovery Isle for bringing such a gem of a teacher into our daughter's world. Thank you, Ms. Lupe--you are making a lasting impact! read more

My daughter came here when she started Pre-K. Enrolled our son earlier and I couldn't be happier that we did. I have felt so comfortable, knowing the staff takes amazing care of our kids. We definitely searched around and did tours. But nothing compared! You wouldn't be disappointed in enrolling your kid(s) here. I know I'm always recommending it! read more

Over the past four years, the women at Discovery Isle have become family to us. We enrolled our son in October 2021. Scary times, remember? Plus he was our first born and was only 5 months old. From day one, from the administration to the teachers, we knew our child was in the right hands. Their communication with parents is wonderful, both in-person and through the app. Most importantly to us, they really got to know our son. From saying hello to him by name every morning, to his teachers knowing the best way to channel his energy, we don't feel like just a number. We love it there so much, we didn't even question where our daughter was going to go when we had to go back to work after she was born. read more

It's so hard to write this simply because I'm so emotional our time is up here. I wish I had found them sooner BUT in 3 months they changed our lives... literally! Our speech delayed son started here and could not engage in conversation without prompting or coaching. He also had behavior issues for focusing and sitting still. Unlike our previous schools (& I've tried 2 others) not once did the teachers make me feel like my child was a burden. They encouraged me every day saying "he's learning" "we will get there" and sure enough we did! This was our last week there and post pre-k graduation the kids got moved to a kinder enrichment class. I worried changing his teachers would set us back on behavior because maybe the previous teachers learned to deal with him or he was comfortable with them but nope! He moved to the next class, two different teachers and when he had a bad day which was rare at this point the teacher said to me but even on his not so good day I'd take a classroom full of him! My heart just filled with gratitude. My kid while still needing speech therapy is also identifying items in Spanish and counting in Spanish. They are so involved with the kids AND the curriculum isn't just for you to enroll it's real. They are actually doing it. We will forever be grateful for Discovery Isle. I can go on and on and on about this place. Everywhere else made me feel like I was the issue even made me feel like maybe I am a helicopter mom that needs to back up but nope! Trust your mommy gut! After 30 days here I naturally backed up because it was obvious and evident that they are good to the children. Principals are so attentive and nurture the kids and parents. They are very in tune with safety and all concerns. There's a lock code on the door. Every family has their own code and electronic codes to sign kids in and out. They arrange to have picture days like "big kid school" too! Ms. Vanessa, Ms. Blake, Ms. Sarah, Ms. Monica are the teachers we experienced in classroom and they were amazing! Very Patient but also assertive to control the classroom. Even the teachers who we didn't have except for morning drop offs like Ms. Julie & Ms. Cathy my son absolutely adored those two! He loved complimenting them (also something he could not do prior). It's not an inexpensive school but I promise you it's so worth it! So so so worth it. They feed the kids breakfast and 2 snacks included in tuition. You just pack lunch. Fridays optional pizza day to learn lunch at home & a tiny fee for pizza instead. You get what you pay for and then some! They also use an app to send daily reports and pics of your kid at school. You know exactly what they are working on during the week etc. they kids love having share day to tie in home items to their learning. I will miss this place soooooo bad! read more

This school has been such a relief when it comes to top tier teaching, learning, and overall care! My son went to Discovery Isle Temecula in the past but it was so far that we thought to try out schools in Lake Elsinore (where we live) but that wasn't the best experience. We literally tried out two separate preschools in Lake Elsinore (Storybook & Little Lambs) and it was so bad his learning flat lined. We were completely unsatisfied and mortified. We decided to enroll him back to Discovery Isle but at the Murrieta location. Since returning to Discovery Isle my son's learning and overall behavior has improved drastically. He even seemed happier and was learning Spanish and all kinds of things he was being deprived of at the other said preschools. The staff is professional and friendly, they look refreshed and just happy to work there which is a good sign! I honestly love Discovery Isle and wish I could keep my kid there as long as I can, it's literally the Harvard of preschools and I will continue to rave about them whenever someone asks for recommendations. Thank you Discovery Isle for making preschool fun, safe, and easy for our family. read more

I have been nothing but impressed with Discovery Isle for 7 years. I toured every preschool in the area when looking for a school for my oldest son, and was so excited to enroll him here. My youngest is enrolled here now. The teachers and staff are extremely kind, organized, and professional. They are also very caring, and I trust each day that my kiddos are in the best hands. I do not have enough positive things to say about this school, and we will be sad to leave the Discovery Isle family when the time comes. read more

Hello! My daughter was suppose to enroll, however not only is this school overly expensive, they will take your money and not give any documentation and postponed refunds. In the end my daughter did not end up going and they approved the refund.. but its been 2 months and they gave no paperwork or emails. I have not received the refund nor confirmation that it has been sent. read more

BEST preschool and daycare I found for my little one highly recommended this place ! Great foundation and learning experience for children. The quality of this place is amazing has 6 classrooms and the staff are amazing and very attentive to us parents and children as well. I will forever appreciate every staff member at this place due to the value of the structure they have for the students and learning experience for the children I highly recommend this place to everyone who would like to see their child prosper ! read more

After visiting a number of daycare centers for our newborn, both my husband agreed our little one will be enrolling here. The staff was welcoming, the facility was clean and there is an organized system for communicating with parents plus as our child ages he can continue at this center. As first time parents, we appreciated both the Principal and Assistant Principal taking the time to answer our questions. Looking forward to bringing our little one here! PROS: -Location: Close to home and building is hidden away from the shopping center (almost couldn't find it during my first visit). -Safety: Parents/Guardians have a code to enter the locked doors. Visitors are only let in when front staff open the door for them. The added bonus is the video footage parents are able to access to check in on their child. -Continuity: The center offers a curriculum to assist with children's development starting from infancy to pre-k. -Staff: Not only was the staff friendly but when visiting the classrooms, the children looked engaged and most importantly happy. read more

We were very lucky to have my boy enrolled here from the age of 4-5 . I was impressed each day with the activity's they prepare for them each day. We are linked with their mobile app which every day they post pics of the fun learning activities. Which is great to see him having fun everyday there . At the age of 4 he tells us to not pick him up early so he doesn't miss recess and circle time . Very pleased with this place open during covid and preventive measures they do daIly. Owners and staff keep up the great job. read more

The deactivation of functioning cameras; which are available for parent viewing, reflects an organized reduction of transparency. Such an organized reduction of transparency, causes a marked reduction in accountability. Young children are very vulnerable because they can't speak for themselves. In my personal opinion, such a practice puts them in harms way. read more

Our family has had a child enrolled in Discovery Isle for the past 10 years. We began at the Temecula location when my son was 6 months old. We were first-time working parents who were nervous to leave their first child with strangers. We stopped by for a weekend tour and Ms. Nefris showed us around and it was her tour that sold us on their facility. I was so impressed at how welcoming she was, how safe she assured us our baby would be, and what an enriching curriculum they provided even for babies. Once our son was 6 months old, he began attending and we watched him be well-taken care of for the next 5 years. He ended his time with a spectacular pre-k graduation. At that time, my daughter was born and we enrolled her at 6 months old, as well. We eventually moved to the Murrieta location and quickly realized that they were also a well-running machine. We were also thrilled that Ms. Nefris became the assistant principal. That same teacher we loved from the Temecula was now at the Murrieta location and we were so happy she could continue to be a part of our family's lives. The teachers have been amazing at this location. My daughter currently has Ms. Cathy as her teacher and she is a phenomenal educator. She has a knack for working with young children. My daughter absolutely loves her. My daughter has had her tears dried by Ms. Cathy for years, she's grown academically and socially, and has had experienced fun, hands-on activities that make learning fun. Each teacher sends you pictures and a daily learning log to let you know what your child has done throughout the day. It also provides reassurance for working parents to receive updates throughout the day. There is also a security code for each parent to enter to provide another measure of safety. We are close to moving on from DI as my daughter is about to move on to kindergarten. We are sad to leave DI and wish we could continue to be a part of their community. Our family highly recommends this daycare/preschool for families looking for a safe and enriching environment for their child. read more

First and foremost my daughter CURRENTLY attends here. This important to know because many reviews for preschools are either outdated OR they are from people who were visiting the school and their child never attended. I don't think you can review a school if your child never attended. I think they would have 5 stars if not for that and the fact that they have a new principal that is awesome and apparently is way better than the last. Research Nobel Learning Communities and SSH Group Holdings, Inc. for advanced information if you're truly interested in your child's education. I researched everything on Discovery Isle and every school in Temecula and Murrieta and you'll be surprised what you'll find when you do! Here's the review: My wife and I literally checked out every reputable preschool in Temecula and Murrieta for months. This was our last school to check out and from the phone call to the visit to the review of the curriculum was nothing but fantastic! They by far have the best curriculum around, not that there are not other schools that were acceptable, but Discovery had a much more advanced one and the classrooms were by far the cleanest and most up to date. While others were more like a daycare or very out of date. They also have a much more secure way of entrance. From the front desk to the teachers to the principal, they are the nicest people you could want your child around! Now after her attending for 4 months now, they have met and exceeded all expectations. I am mostly impressed by the technology they use. NO OTHER school in Murrieta and Temecula embrace as they do! They not only have advanced security measures driven by technology but they also have an app that updates you every time your child is check in and out. It also has the summary of what your child was exposed for the day, from learning to the food they ate. They also include at least one pic for the day as well. The reason what the above matters to someone like me is I am a consultant and travel quite a bit. Every day when my wife picks her up when I'm away, I get a push notification saying she was picked up (also dropped off) and I can access the app and see what she learned and I get to see a pic of her doing an activity. Now when I facetime her in the evening I get to not only ask what she learned but I get to re-enforce it as well by asking questions like "so what did you learn about caterpillars today?". This is a true differentiator between them and all the others! Even when I pick her up I get to have a much more meaningful and engaging conversation with despite the fact that she is only 3! Hands down this is the best school around here, DM me if you have any specific questions. This is NOT a daycare (though you can use them for that of course) but an actual school that will definitely prepare your child for and give them an advantage when entering Elementary school. P.S. this is not a paid advertisement :) I am truly passionate about our children's education and believe me I post the truth! (just look at my other reviews, I'm not nice) read more

When looking for a preschool for my kids, I had a list of things I was hoping to find to make the transition comfortable and easy for both myself and my kids. Discovery Isle not only checks off everything on my list, but they continue to exceed expectations and raise the bar daily. From the moment you walk in the door, and into any classroom you enter, the staff has all the traits you'd want to make you feel confident in trusting them to care for your kids. The office ladies and the teachers all burst with friendliness, competence, and genuine care for the kids. They go above and beyond to educate, nurture, and even make special and fun memories for the kids. The school is organized, clean, exciting, and often decorated with fun festive decor to get kids and families excited about upcoming seasons and activities. The staff is great about informing you of upcoming activities and opportunities, so things don't get missed, which busy moms like me appreciate. My kids have learned so much, made so many friends, and have fallen in love with school. They pout on Saturdays when they wake up and realize it's not a school day! We love Discovery Isle. read more

this is the worst daycare . no care for the kids and the teacher eats my kids food. this quality is sad.

My kid loved it here. No more crying when I had to drop them off. Being in the 2-year-old room helped. They actually potty trained my child. We reinforced it at home. We left for a few reasons: 1. Murrieta Ranch (duh!) 2. The price is crazy (rather do that then be in a bad place) 3. There was a kid who would bite my child (almost daily) 4. Miss Renne left (good for her though, I want to stay home too) What I do miss is the security doors, everyone knows your names, the app that lets you spy on your kid, sees pictures, and gets a printout of what your child ate, when they slept, even their potty/bm breaks. Worth the price. Even though we are not there anymore I still recommend them. read more

My spouse, daughter and I went to visit this school today, as she just recently turned three and we're looking to start a good preschool program for her, due to the other Yelp reviews I was excited to visit this school. As it turns out, I left disappointed- upon arriving the lady at the front (I dont recall her name) had us sign in ... and another lady (2 year old teacher) gave us the tour. The tour was ok. She answered my questions. The good thing, I will say was, parents are able to see what their kids are doing at any time of the day via mobile app, and she said they learn Spanish. However, The kids nap for over 2hrs? Like wth, why? Huge turn off. If im paying for her to learn, I dont think that long of a nap is necessary. The assistant principal seemed really cold, I do remember her name, Kristin. As we were leaving the 2yr old teacher left us with her. Her attitude was really nonchalant and just not good vibes at all... due to that and a few other negatives we decided not to go with this school. Its really important to leave a lasting impression from start to finish. read more

I wish I found Discovery Isle earlier. My child was enrolled at another daycare in Temecula. I noticed a mass exodus of teachers, which caused concern. That's when we decided to move our child to Discovery Isle. A few friends of mine recommended it so I figured it would be a smart move, and they weren't wrong. The structure of the class prepared my child to go to TK. She comes home everyday excited to tell me what she learned in class. Her verbal skills and confidence greatly improved. She is also pointing out words she recognizes in her books, which makes her more excited to read every night. My daughter has severe food allergies and I appreciate the way the staff goes above and beyond to keep her safe. If you are looking for a program that truly prepares your child for elementary school and beyond, this is the place for you. read more

As we write this review our son is preparing to start kindergarten in less then one month. We are both amazed at his confidence,ability to socialize with others and his academic achievements. He has been enrolled at Discovery Isle in Murrieta for the last 3 years and both of our children are thriving in this enriching learning environment. The principal Ms.Ashley and the teachers are as caring as they are attentive. All of them have their own unique way of teaching and preparing these children for the future. We have peace of mind that our children are safe, cared for and are being challenged intellectually. If you are looking for a high quality preschool to prepare your child for kindergarten call Discovery Isle. Your children will thrive. read more

Our daughter started here at the end of May, a few weeks before her third birthday. She LOVES it! The staff here is amazing, it's always so pleasant walking in there, having all the staff know your child's name. As a SAHM my husband and I weren't looking for full time daycare, we were looking for a school where she could socialize, and learn in a classroom environment on a part time basis. I was happy to see that they offer part time hours, and your choice of how many days per week. I am very pleased that my daughter is enrolled here. I enjoy hearing about all the fun stories, art projects, learning, and fun activities they do. I would definitely recommend this center, whether you are looking for a school or daycare. read more

Great school. Teachers are awesome and both of our kids have learned so much. Our kids have been going there for the last 3 years and we have no regrets. Highly recommend. read more

At first, I'll admit I was hesitant to check out a facility in a shopping center, but once I visited Discovery Isle my fears were put to rest. It is tucked in the back of the shopping complex, and there is plenty of outdoor space for the children to play. The staff here is amazing and everyone is friendly. The classrooms are clean, and the building is secure. Every morning we were greeting in a cheerful manner by Ms. Jennifer or Ms. Renee (or whomever was covering the front desk). The curriculum is age-appropriate and I appreciated the monthly and daily updates we received on our son's activities and progress. During our son's time there, he was moved up a class based on his age. Teachers in both classrooms kept us apprised of how our son was doing, and welcomed the opportunity to speak with us when we had questions or wanted to give updates. Ms. Leanna is amazing! She has so much patience and gave great ideas for helping our son develop a joy for learning and respect for others. I cannot say enough good things about this early childhood education center. I would highly recommend Discovery Isle to anyone looking for preschool/care for their child. read more

Amazing teachers, staff and curriculum. My six year old attended the intermediate and Pre-K classes here and he always looked forward to school. Miss Leanna and Miss Jessica were amazing teachers who did a great job of balancing fun and education. My son constantly talked about the pictures they made together and how much fun he had at school. Each class had a syllabus posted on the outside of the door so parents could see the day's educational goals. This was very helpful because it gave me a starting point to ask about what he learned. My son always had just as much to say about learning as he did about the fun he had. He is now in Kindergarten and was one of a handful of kids who earned a reading award for completing the year end goal HALF WAY through the school year. My wife and I recently enrolled our three year old in the intermediate class with Miss Leanna. He is the complete opposite of our six year old, but his curiosity and interest in books, colors and counting has increased dramatically since his enrollment. I have no doubt he will flourish here just as much as his older brother. My wife and I initially tried out two other "chain" child care facilities with our six year old due to their lower costs, but were disappointed in their curriculum. I highly recommend Discovery Isle to anyone looking for a child care facility that emphasizes educational and social growth. read more

We love Discovery Isle. My son has had an amazing experience there the last 2.5 years! I am constantly impressed by the teachers, who create thorough and interesting lessons and activities. My son is always learning something new and we have seen so much growth, both in academic and social development. I have always felt 100% comfortable while he is at Discovery Isle. I know he is getting incredible care. It's like a little family there, where all of the teachers know all of the students and vice a versa. Plus, I love that I can log-in any time and see what is going on in the classroom. All in all, a great school! I would highly recommend to any family looking for a structured and nurturing preschool/daycare experience! read more

Awesome environment; class rooms, daily email of lesson plans, potty reports, cctv, detailed murals, playground. The staff all get to know your children & cascade their care as if they were their own kids. 10 stars, worth every penny! read more

My 3 1/2 year old little girl started preschool here about a month ago and we couldn't be more pleased with it!!! We interviewed 3 schools. When I met with Miss Renee (principal) to see Discovery Isle she was very eager for us to see all parts of the school, answer any questions and took her time with us. Miss Leanna is a wonderful teacher and has a great attitude with the children. My daughter has already learned a lot in the short time she's been here. We also receive pictures and descriptions of what she did during the day every time she goes to school. The school itself is very clean, not cluttered, plenty of toys and educational items, and the staff are professional and extremely friendly. We will definitely continue going to this school!! read more

Discovery Isle Preschool - Preschools Near Me - Murrieta, California

This daycare is amazing! Let me tell you why.. my son has a severe peanut allergy, so when we first enrolled him I was very worried about cross contamination, or my little one trying to get into other kids lunches. The staff has gone over and beyond to make sure there is a separate table for non peanut products! Additionally the staff is incredibly helpful, nice and makes every kid that comes in feel so welcome each and everyday! My kid has gone from 3 days to full time because he loves it there! Not to mention how much his vocabulary and learning knowledge has expended! He loves his peers and teachers! He cries when I have to pick him up to go home! Thanks Discovery Isle for making us feel so welcomed each and everyday! read more

My son has been going to Discovery Isle since he was 14 months old (he is now 3). Not only does he love it there, but my husband and I love it too. The teachers are all so friendly and helpful. They give periodic development reports that show growth in a variety of skills, which is awesome. We can also check in on our son on the website provided by the school. My sin brings home art projects all the time. He tells me about what he learns each day and surprises me with newly acquired terms and skills often. My husband and I are so pleased with the personal attention given to our son that we will be bringing our daughter there too. No hesitation. This school rocks! read more

Discovery Isle is the premiere child development center for the local Murrieta area. Our son previously attended a different childcare facility, in which he received little to no curriculum, a classroom setting with little control, and absolute zero requirement for development. After only one week at Discovery Isle, our son is exercising his knowledge, creativity, and vernacular 500%. Discovery Isle is phenomenal. read more

Just an update, my son finished the Pre-K program at Discovery Isle in June and started Kinder last week and is doing fantastic! I give a lot of credit to the school and teachers for the prep they do. I will forever recommend Discovery Isle! read more

I am very happy that both of my children were able to attend this preschool! The teachers were awesome, especially Miss Debbie she was an amazing teacher. My son misses her and always talks about her to this day! She made a huge and positive impact on his education :) Which is super important!! Thank you Miss Debbie, you are one in a million! The facility is organized and clean. The teachers are very hands on and the curriculum is excellent. I loved receiving pictures throughout the day and a detailed report at the end of the day. I only had one negative incident with the principal (Miss Ashley) but other than that I recommend this school. read more

You're reading this review because it's difficult, as a parent, to entrust total strangers to care for your child. My four year old son has been attending Discovery Isle since August, and I can confidently say that I feel he's gotten the best care in a loving environment with an ENTIRE staff who cares. Here's a sample of a day-to-day experience: I drop my son off early in the morning. Jen, the administrative assistant greets me and my son by name. I sign him in and bring him to his classroom. It's always calm in there--I've never seen a melt down, and the kids know immediately what to do and what they can play with. If my son missed breakfast because we were running late, he can join the other kids also eating. Around 9 am the kids start instruction. The teacher sends updates via email throughout the day (with pictures!) on what the kids did, and when I pick him up, there is always a note on the door of what the kids learned that day as well as suggestions on what to ask your kids to get them to elaborate on their day (you know the drill: 'what did you do today?' 'I don't remember...'). The kids get time out on the playground earlier in the day when it is cooler, and my son seems to enjoy that...then back inside. Lunch is at 11:30. It's very organized and the teacher warms my son's lunch from home if needed. Clean-up and at noon is nap time. My son hasn't napped since he was 2...No problem! It is quiet, rest time. Some kids nap, others, like my son rest. Sometimes he'll quietly read through a book or work on his writing. I will say...the amount of time for nap is pretty long--2 hours so that the two different teachers can take their lunches, but it doesn't seem to be a problem. After nap there is activity centers for kids to play and sometimes they go outside. My son enjoys the school very much and Miss Jessica, his teacher is a pro--she's extremely experienced and educated. My son has learned so much since starting, and I feel like he's ready for kinder--no problem! I'm so confident in this facility that I'll be enrolling my newborn in there after my maternity leave is over. Now that's tough...a 4 year old is one thing...a little baby is a whole other trust issue--but I can say I'll be happy knowing that she'll be in a safe, loving environment. If you're deciding which school to enroll your child--the choice is easy--Discovery Isle. read more
