A Place to Learn, Play & Grow

For over 50 years, Gloria Dei Preschool Discovery Center has been helping young learners build confidence, curiosity, and essential skills in a nurturing, play-based environment.

We believe that learning happens best through exploration, creativity, and connection. Our programs are designed to develop the whole child—socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively—in a safe, engaging space where they feel known and loved.
