So happy with the level of care these kids are receiving! The owners of this school clearly cares about the children and have invested in laying the foundation for their education. Love that they believe that play is just as important at this young age. The field trips and in house activities are so fun for these children, makes me wish I was a kid again. Highly recommend this daycare, especially if you're looking for a friendly, loving environment for your children. read more

Jolene the owner sees the children as just a number and when I say number I mean a dollar sign $ Quarterly Price Increases so don't expect to pay the same as your sign up rate because it will be much more shortly Jolene and her husband didn't put the extra money from the staggering room fees into upgrades to the Facilities instead the opened a brand new full service car wash up the road and try to funnel their customers from the daycare to im sure their overpriced car wash thanks but no thanks after being a 3 year customer enough was enough I had to fire Jolene we took our business to a new place and im wishing we did much sooner read more

All three of my daughters truly enjoy going here. They love their teachers and my almost six year old had an easy time adjusting to kindergarten after attending discovery point for a year. If you are looking for a brand new building with fancy interior it may not be for you but the facility reminds me of schools I would go to growing up in Finland and all the teachers truly care about the children. read more

I wanted to love this daycare so bad. I placed my 3yr old son in Discovery Point after having moved to Florida from another State. I needed a place that would take care of my son and would get him prepared for school. Unfortunately after a month and a half of my son attending Discovery Point, I had to pull him out. 1. Shortly after starting at this daycare, my son developed a respiratory illness which scared me tremendously and I thought it was COVID (thankfully it wasn't). 2. My son broke a bone and bent a 2nd bone after having 3 children and a playhouse fall on him. 3. My son started throwing up and was drenched with his own urine. Ok, so let me now explain...after the 1st incident my thought was...all children get sick after starting a new day care, right? But wow a respiratory illness that put him out for 2 weeks? Fevers over 104 where I had to rush him to the emergency room? Well maybe it's just this one time. After he recovered, I brought him back. Less than two weeks later I get a call to pick up my son because there had been an accident. I rush to pick up my son and when I arrive, he's holding his arm. The version of events I received was that he was leaning on a play house and the house fell forward. I took my son to urgent care where I was told to investigate further because a fall like how they explained it would not have cause this much damage. My child had a broken and a 2nd bent bone. I go back and ask additional questions and this is when I find out that in addition to the play house, 3 additional kids weighing over 100lbs fell on my son. Accidents happen, right? But nobody was watching. Then literally 3 days after returning to day care after his cast removal, I receive another call for pick up because he had thrown up. I found that so strange because my son is not one to throw up. Once I arrive, I found my son behind a counter completely drenched in urine. Nobody and I mean nobody even bothered to clean him and take him to the bathroom. The front desk staff then proceeds to hand me a piece of paper that said my son was not to return to day care until the following Monday. When I get home and ask my son what happened, he says he was given bread that tasted funny and made him sick (the day care never told me they gave my son food). My son then says "mommy please don't take me back there". I read through the contract and in order for me to withdraw my son, we had to send our request for withdrawal in writing, so I sent an email explaining the reasons for withdrawing him. The email went unanswered. No explanation, no clarification...nothing. This solidified my decision to withdraw. In addition to happened to my son, I also experienced a child get hit in an eye with a table. Nobody was watching over this child. Please be careful when choosing a day care for your child. I learned my lesson the hard way. read more

Such a great staff and center. I come here every Monday to teach an enrichment class and the staff is always very welcoming, they help me with all my needs and never fuss about anything. The children in the center always seem so happy to be around the staff and other kids. I truly enjoy coming here because they make my job 100% easier and make me feel like I am a team member. read more

Absolutely the worst daycare in the area. Classrooms overcrowded, place is under staffed. Owner is dismissive and argumentative. If you don't care about your child very much this is for you, but if you find it unsafe and inappropriate for teachers to mishandle/manhandle your child look elsewhere. Teachers put blankets over children's heads at nap time which is extremely unsafe especially if your son or daughter has asthma. I observed on video from my child's classroom of him being grabbed by his arm and leg and flipped over like a pancake aggressively while contently laying on his back during nap time. The teacher drug him and other kids by one leg to position them how she wanted. She grabbed my son's neck and shoved him down when he tried to lift his head to remove the blanket from over top his head. It was ALL recorded on their surveillance system. Initially when asked to review the footage I was dismissed and I mentioned I guess I would have to press charges and get the law enforcement involved and they took that as threatening and decided to instead of handle the situation appropriately kicked my son out of daycare. The owner is a malice conniving individual, she doesn't care about the children who attend this place she cares about money only. Hence why they also have raised their rates 4 times in 3 months without much notice and without any associated details. I plan to pursue legal recourse from this point and explore every other avenue possible to get a proper remediation. They did absolutely nothing to resolve the issue. They instead blamed the us, and I quote "if you think it's unsafe then don't bring your son here." If you disagree with them or find their responses absolutely absurd and their lack of empathy and action appalling then they find it threatening to mention if you won't address this then maybe the hillsborough county licensing office, child services, or law enforcement may need to get involved. STEER CLEAR. If your kids go there currently I suggest you speak to them each day about how their day went and if they had any issues etc because they won't inform you they don't actively monitor the surveillance and will only dismissively review it when you bring things to their attention. Secondly, a few months prior to this incident, my son was picked up wet (urinated in his pants) he was not changed and sat in his wet clothes for over three hours. Numerous times he was picked up with bruises on his head or face and there were no incident reports provided. Their normal response is they didn't notice or they didn't observe it happen. That's because they don't pay any attention to the kids there. They have no structured learning. It's basically a free for all with an adult staring off into space. Atrocious customer service, unacceptable mistreatment of children, dismissive attitudes by the Owner and their supporting staff.Unfortunately you cannot leave 0 stars. Legal action is being pursued. read more

Overall, we love Discovery Point. All of the teachers are genuine, caring and loving towards the children. The facilities are clean, warm and inviting. I highly recommend that you discover Discovery Point! read more

My son has been in Discovery point over a year now and every morning he is so happy to go there. He's teachers are great and they take good care of him, he loves them. Everybody that works there are very nice and friendly and always willing to help with everything my son needs. 100% recommend Discovery point. read more

I can't say enough about Discovery Point Lutz. The new owners have not only made major improvements by renovating the building and playground they have brought on a whole new vibe with a much friendlier and loving atmosphere to the entire daycare. The warmth and love for the children is evident and my favorite change is that the educational standards has been bumped to a much higher level. Jolene, the owner has gone above and beyond to meet all my needs and although I feel special, I've noticed that she treats everyone with the same love and compassion. This is definitely our second home and if you're looking for daycare this will be your first and last stop to that major decision in choosing the right daycare. read more

I just don't understand where all these great reviews come from. Avoid Discovery Point Lutz at all costs!!!! Our son was not taken care of like he was supposed to. They completely refused to potty train him! Said they will start potty training when he's able to tell them that he has to go to the bathroom... pretty sure that's the whole point of the potty "training" part! There has been many, many instances where he was hurt (and could have been avoided had the teacher paid attention). One morning I dropped him off and while I was putting his clothes in his bin 3 little boys surrounded him and pushed him to the ground, the teacher saw it and decided to just turn her back and pretend she didn't see it. I can't even imagine what happens when I'm not there. The icing on the cake was when I went to pick him a week ago to go home and couldn't find him for 15 minutes. His teacher didn't know where he was and he wasn't in her class with the rest of the kids. Ended up finding him in another classroom. Apparently even the director wasn't aware where he was and didn't have a care in the world that his teacher DIDN'T DO HER JOB!!!! We've finally pulled him out of there and are going to Van Dyke Day School, which is a much better school, clean, and kids are well taken care of. Apparently Discover Point doesn't care about sick kids coming in with green snot and spread the sickness to other kids, not only that but they don't bother to wipe their noses either. You sign a contract that tells you how they change the diaper ever 1-1 1/2. Well, that wasn't the case in our situation where our son was constantly soaking through his diaper. I started marking them in the morning and when we pick him up at 4 o'clock in the afternoon he was still in the same diaper and wet shorts..... I could go on and on about how awful this place is. If you love your children, take them somewhere else! read more

I can't say enough good things about this center. You can really tell this school has passion about what they do. It shows on how they take care of their children. This is truly a first class operation that takes pride in caring and developing our youth. I have 3 kids and can feel at ease knowing they are being cared for by this team. The facility is clean, updated, and looks out for the best interest of the children. I wouldn't think twice about having my children go to any other school than this Discovery Point. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a daycare. read more

This is a nice daycare if your child doesn't have food allergies. I struggled with the workers for them to understand how much my child is in pain with eating a certain food. My child was coming home several times a week with stomach aches and diarrhea. read more
