Discovery Days is an early childhood program that encourages children ages 2 to 6 and their parents or caregivers to engage together in educational, hands-on art, music, and movement activities. When you attend Discovery Days with your child, you will help them cultivate important school-readiness skills, such as language development, attention, concentration, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, and play and social abilities.

Attend a session that fits your schedule—no registration needed.

Thanks to the Dodge Family Fund and the Stewart Family Foundation, scholarships are available for Discovery Days! Learn more and complete a scholarship application in English or complete a scholarship application in Spanish.

Inclement Weather Policy:
If SVVSD declares a day as “no in-person school day,” Discovery Days will also be cancelled.
