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. Maximum attendance per session is 40 people (adults & children); please arrive a few minutes before the start time to get into the class.
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.
