We looked long and hard for the right preschool in this area and this was definitely the one. Even…read morewhen we got into other Preschools, I stayed on the waitlist for Discovery, and I'm so glad I did. One thing I've learned about sending a little one to school is: It works best if you have a place with enough teachers who truly care about your child, and who also understand that parents (as well as kids) need some flexibility and understanding at this age... And that's what they've been with us - understanding and flexible - through the crazy local weather spells, child sicknesses... all of it. They truly embrace the concept that no two kids are the same, so you really can't force kids into some cookie-cutter template (e.g. expecting all kids to develop at the same rate, forcing them all to nap every day, etc.). I have been especially impressed with the owner, Kirsten, and the Director, Courtney - Always nice, always friendly, obviously work very hard and care about each and every student they have, etc. And this care and consideration is not only shown to my kid, but also to me, which is a breath of fresh air at an age when things can be so stressful. Would also like to add that their prices are the most reasonable you'll find and the gifts they have kids make and bring home for their parents during the holidays are absolutely delightful... Again, another sign that they not only care about your child, they care about the whole picture. Props of course as well to all of their individual hardworking teachers!

Our son loves it here. All of the teachers are nice. Couldn't be happier with the experience.read more

The school is a well organized, well run safe place. The last day I was there all the teachers stayed late to rotate the toys- something they do regularly to keep the class room fun and interesting.

It is home to the Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District, Sierraville Recreation District activities, Sierra County Arts Council events, etc. This review concerns only the park to the west and south of the building. Although small at about one acre, the park features a tennis court and a basketball court, both of which have been newly resurfaced in blue and green (see photo). In addition, there is a playground, a covered picnic table, and a well-kept grassy area. The park is open to the public, and so is a perfect place to bring the family.

Even at night around the schoolhouse we would play hide & seek, maybe hold hands w/ our girlfriends, & occasionally get a kiss. During cold, rainy, or snowy weather I'd run over to the principals house; he would give me the key so my friends & I could play in the small gym. Boy, that was a different time. We loved the 8' basketball hoops set up for "biddy" basketball & we could "dunk" just like the pros. The Sierraville Schoolhouse is a beautiful old building that could tell lots of stories!

Molly Lauf, our Principal, is wonderful with the children and is always looking for ways to improve the school. The Hunsberger PTA puts on several family-friendly events throughout the year and purchases much of the state of the art technology that the school district does not provide. In addition to purchasing equipment, the PTA also supports several programs that are not offered or paid for through the district, such as Foss kits, Kindness Enrichment programs and art. The Hunsberger art program offers all students opportunities to learn about artists and different mediums such as watercolors, oil pastels, acrylics as well as ceramic art. I love seeing all of the hallways lined with the art the kids have created! Not only is the school itself great, but the parents, many of whom volunteer their time on a regular basis are fantastic and always willing to help each other and look out for each others children. I am SO glad that I chose to live where I do, and part of that decision was based on the schools we are zoned for! All in all, this school is amamzing.......now, if only there was something we could do about the chaotic parking lot traffic! (Ha!)
