We strongly believe that early childhood education greatly influences who your children will become. That's why we have created an environment where creativity, exploration, and positive reinforcement - combined with the latest teaching philosophies - are our standard. Your children's talents are every bit as unique as they are, and our experienced teachers foster a stimulating environment where those talents can be discovered and developed.

Get in touch with us today for more information about our Springville and Payson locations! We are a child-focused, teacher-facilitated learning center founded with the belief that children learn best when they are allowed to follow their imagination. We strive to foster an environment where our students are given guidance and encouragement to make their own discoveries about the world around them.

We designed our classrooms to stimulate the senses and spark the imagination. Playtime should be both purposeful and fun, and we use it to develop language, a sense of cooperation, and strong problem-solving skills. Our curriculum is based on the idea that children acquire and construct knowledge.

From our before and after school programs to our premier preschool program, you can rest assured that you're sending your child to a child care center where they are being encouraged to use their creativity to grow and learn.

At Discovery Tree Academy in Springville and Payson, we are passionate about fostering creativity and curiosity in every child who walks through our doors. Our before and after-school clubs allow kids to follow their interests while developing important social and academic skills along the way.

We offer three fun and educational clubs that can be attended before or after your child's school day: Expressions (our art and dance club), Nerd Club for science and construction, and Library club for those passionate about reading and literature.As an added bonus, our instructors will help with homework to reinforce what your kid is learning in school.
When it comes to pre-kindergarten, it is incredibly important to choose the right program for your child. After all, the next step is kindergarten and they need to be prepared to meet Utah's state-education standards. On top of that, this stage is very important to your child's overall development.

We love Discovery Tree! My daughter is always happy to be there and comes home in a good mood and talking all about her day. I love being able to peek in at their app throughout the day to see what was served for meals and how much she ate, if she cooperated with taking a nap, activities they did, photos of their day, etc. They have a good schedule that fosters learning, play, rest, and eating, which I think really helps set the kids up to have a good day and know what to expect. My daughter loves to talk about what they learned, her teachers, the yummy food, and all her friends. She’s gone from

DTA has been a wonderful place for our child to learn and grow. Great caretakers and leadership. So grateful that DTA does not require nap time for 4+ years old children. It is the only facility in the area that I could find, after calling dozens of daycare facilities, that does not require older kids to take a nap during the day--game changer for our child! Our child is anxiety free because there is no required nap time and they enjoy the activities, friends, and teachers they have at DTA.

After looking at other preschools Discovery Tree in Springville was much nicer and more professional looking than the others. The added accessibility and communication through their app is awesome. Being able to pay on it and check on your child’s progress through the day is really helpful and reassuring (you got her to nap?! Awesome!). The daily emails with how the day went are also helpful and often come with pictures of your child doing some activity during the day as well are awesome too! So far we love them and are happy with our decision!

We absolutely love DTA! They have very open communication about things within the daycare and our child. Our child’s communication and learning has vastly improved since starting here. Highly recommend to anyone!

I love the updates that I get through the mobile app. It helps me to know how my son is doing throughout the day which is so comforting. Staff are very professional and do a great job with the kiddos. I feel like my son has learned so much in his time here.

We’ve been with DTA for 2.5 years now! We are super happy with it. It is pricier than other daycares and we have sometimes struggled to know whether we should switch to save money. However, when it comes down to it the quality of care our son receives makes spending an extra $100-$200/month worth it for us. We know he is safe, getting fed good meals, and that he is learning a lot, that he has good friends and high-quality teachers who remember him and care about him.
The only time we had a little bit of trouble was mostly because our son was being insanely stubborn about potty training, but

I like that I can leave my child and I don’t worry about his safety. I know he’s going to play and be safe and have teachers that care about him. They also do a lot of hands on learning with animals, activities, etc. He often says things that I didn’t know he knew from school! The staff is kind and responds quickly when I have a question.

My kids have been in the summer camp 2 years now and they both absolutely love it. They ask me every year if they can go back. The summer camp has so much for them to do because they go out somewhere everyday. I like that they communicate over an app during the day so you always know where your kids are at, if there's any issues, and they send pictures. It makes me feel comfortable being able to see that during work.

We loved sending our daughter to Discovery Tree. They are academic and provide enough play too. They are so family oriented and have programs at Christmas time and a family carnival in October. We moved and miss it but I would tell all my friends to go there!

The staff here is great. They are very attentive and helpful. You can tell they take pride in taking the very best care of the children. They go above and beyond and also make sure to plan fun events for the kids. They also host an annual Halloween party not only for those at the daycare, but the entire community. I would definitely recommend Discovery Tree Academy!
