About Our School
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
At Discovering Minds Child Development Center, we are a Texas Rising Star 3 Star Licensed Childcare Center and a Texas Education Agency qualified Pre-Kindergarten Center that provides quality childcare to all children, no child is too small to learn.
Our Philosophy
Our professional, caring and loving staff are eager to provide learning fundamentals of Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science (STEM) and Social Studies at the tender age of 12 months and we continue to the age of 4 years; we also mentor after-schoolers in these same fundamentals.
Our students are intellectually advance when entering into the Bay City, Van Vleck, Tidehaven and Palacios Independent School District because we provide small learning environments, one on one learning, as we specialize and focus on Reading, Writing, Mathematics, Science (STEM) and Social Studies fundamentals to ensure that our students are well prepared for all grade levels.
Our school-age students are mentored, given quality before and afterschool care and help with homework. Our mentors make sure all homework is completed before each student leaves our facility. Here at Discovering Minds Child Development Center we value our parents, our students and their education. Everyday we love and enjoy "Enriching Minds One At A Time".
