2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR
The Preschool school year runs from Labor Day to Memorial Day. The school year will begin on September 5th and 6th and ends May 21st and 22nd with a graduation on May 20th.
We closely follow the traditional Davis School District Calendar. We will have the same school holidays, so if there is no school for Davis elementary schools, there will be no school for us.

Content
Your student's week will consist of an opening circle, character building, literacy instruction and activities using (we use the SEEL program developed by BYU), STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math), learning centers, outside play (weather permitting), and more! We explore and investigate topics and integrating subjects while hitting the important building blocks of reading and math literacy. We are academically focused, but still maintain the childlike senses of curiosity and fun! Students at Discovery Adventures Preschool are given many opportunities to share, discover, and grow in their grand preschool adventure!
A basic schedule provides for stability and structure while we incorporate some flexibility to allow for exploration and new ideas. Kids this young have very short attention spans, so we use movement, music, and variety a lot!
