At Journey Discovery Center, we partner with families and teachers to create a community of learners through high quality Early Childhood Education. Together we will support and inspire children through their first years of education recognizing each child's and teacher's unique abilities and passion for learning.
Journey Discovery Center is a very special place! The teachers and staff have created a culture of growth, learning, and fun that is absolutely contagious. I am continually amazed by the high level of communication and support given to both the students and parents.

Services
Every teacher throughout our program is passionate about Early Childhood Education. Our teachers build their own curriculum based on the needs and interests of their class and each individual child. Our classroom environment utilizes materials that stimulate learning through intentional play and discovery.
We participate in the Washington's Quality Rating and Improvement System program called Early Achievers. Early Achievers helps us make continuous improvements throughout our program while collaborating with other Washington State early childhood facilities and professionals. We were one of the few childcare centers in our area rated highly at a level 4 out of 5.
Journey's philosophy is to focus on learning through exploration and student initiated curriculum. We are committed to provide a positive and enriching environment for every child. In our Nursery, we provide our infants with learning opportunities to help them achieve their individual milestones. We intentionally design the environment to provide endless learning opportunities through exploration and play.
At Journey, we do all we can to prevent illness and germs from spreading. We utilize air filtration, a center wide cleaning service and a complete toy sanitation daily to minimize bacteria and viruses. If your child displays any symptoms of illness, it is best to keep them home during the most contagious times (the first 24-48 hours).
We are not only passionate about bettering the Early Childhood Education field, but we strive to provide a positive and bettering work place for all Early Childhood Professionals. We create strong relationships in our community and participate in many Early Childhood advancement opportunities to provide career advancement for our teachers.

The teachers were very nice and I appreciated the homemade food. However the owners are very difficult to work with. Before our child started we were made to pay for almost a full month of care we didn't need, nearly $1300, because I didn't realize our conversation about a possible start date was the date we were being locked in to. So it was either pay or lose the spot. When we decided to switch to a different daycare we gave a month notice and again were made to pay for the full month of care because our child would be attending for two days of that final month. I tried to discuss both of these

Love them! My son is in the PreK room. The teachers are amazing, so friendly. Every time I drop off or pick up, the kids are having a blast and involved in a fun, engaging activity. We started at a different preK because Journey was full. My son dreaded going, and it tore me apart dropping him off. When Journey had a spot, we hustled over. Now my son loves going to school, waves me away at drop off, and is happily gabbing with a teacher or another child immediately. Very grateful for this school!

I am the owner and director of the Herzog Family Center. I explored many facilities in Spokane in hopes to find other organizations who provide intentional, quality early child care and education. I was pleased to find that Journey Discovery Center sets high expectations for their staff to provide and create a safe and consistent learning . I encourage all families looking for excellent child care to explore Journey.

Teacher was good with my child, facility appeared clean. However, the office staff / owners are dishonest and literally out to make a buck. They breached their contract and pursued charging me for days they did not provide care, at their request, and caused complications with my job and family. If this is the character of person that is going to be spending time with my children and influencing them then it is unacceptable. I highly recommend finding other care.

Dear Kekky K,
We are very sorry that you have left on bad terms, and really wish you would come to us to resolve any concerns you have. We only tried to do the best for your son and wanted to give you options so that he could be successful. We immediately offered to discount the days that he would not here when we brought that option to you, we feel really bad that this has been misunderstood. We see that you are still upset and would love the opportunity to talk further with you to get to a better resolution.
