Redeemer Lutheran’s Lake Area Discovery Center

Our daughter has been going here since September and she absolutely loves it, hence, so do we! It’s obvious that the teachers there love what they do and are invested in each child. She is learning a ton and amazes her father and me with the things she learns and tells us.
The hours work well for working parents, they are open 7 – 5:30 and serve a breakfast, lunch and 3 snacks during the day. The lunches seem to be very nutritious with a main, veg, fruit and grain component.
They have a religious tone that doesn’t bother us at all but you might want to keep in mind if you’re considering them.
They do an excellent job of sticking to a theme each week and build on it as the week progresses. The program seems to work well for both full time kids as well as part time (M-​W-​F or T-​Th).
The school is accredited at a national level as are all of the teachers which is nice. They track her progress throughout the year and keep it in a book so we can see how much she’s learned as the year goes by. For instance, they had her try to write her name early in the year and will have her do it again so we can see them side by side at the end of the school year.
We are already planning to send her again next year so that she will be well prepared for kindergarten and we will most likely send her sister, barring any moves.
