Discovery Days is an early childhood program for children ages 2 to 6 and their caregivers to have fun together with 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. Maximum attendance per session is 40 people (adults & children); please arrive a few minutes before the start time to get into the class.
All Discovery Days scholarships have been awarded for 2026; we will begin awarding 2027 scholarships in January.
Inclement Weather Policy:
If SVVSD declares a day as “no in-person school day,” Discovery Days will also be cancelled.
