This place gave me the piece of mind that my kids are in the right place when it comes to developing the right skills and get the right preparation for school. They have all sorts of great activities that are enhancing their logic . Also my favorite part is that I get thought the app updates and photos every day. Teachers are very sweet and always welcome to respond to any questions. Great place, I love it.

My daughter loves Discovery Day! The staff is so kind and caring, they welcomed her with open arms. They have an app to communicate with parents and I love getting pics and videos of all the activities my daughter is doing throughout the day!!

I truly cannot say enough good things about Discovery Day! After looking into several preschool programs in the area, we met with Danielle to tour the facility. This was our first time putting our daughter (then 3) in any kind of child care setting. To say we were nervous is an understatement. From the very second that we met Danielle, we knew this was the place for our daughter. She just finished her year of preschool and has learned SO MUCH. The staff is so incredibly nice, knowledgeable, and really cares for each of their students. The facilities are clean, modern, and engaging for the kids. They provide parents an app that allows the school to keep in touch with you and send you photos/videos of your kiddo throughout the day. Highly recommended to all parents looking for a great child care program for their kiddos!

I love discovery!!! They have been so amazing to my son. He loves all the teachers and they have great rates. They even have an app where they upload pictures for you so that you can see how your child or children are doing!

Animal Crackers is a fabulous preschool. Both of my children have attended and have had the best time during the school year and at summer camp. They’ve learned a ton while still having a blast. All of the teachers are amazing and have loved and cared for my children like they were their own.
Christina Wright
An amazing school and we love the depth of care all the teachers have for their students. Communication with the teachers and staff is so easy and my son comes home happy and is always excited to go back!
Michael Vine
Currently have two children attending Animal Crackers. Both kids are happy and look forward to going each day. Great teachers who communicate everyday through an easy to use app. Highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Animal Crackers Nursery School enough! My son had such a positive experience during the 2 years he was at ACNS. All of the teachers and staff are so caring and nurturing, and I felt like they truly got to know my son and always had his best interest in mind. The communication between home and school was phenomenal. I always felt well informed about what was going on, and the teachers were so responsive. The staff at ACNS go above and beyond to make sure that all of the children at the school are safe, cared for, learning a ton and having fun!

Animal Crackers is such a wonderful place for children to grow! The staff is so loving, caring and professional. They make us feel loved and welcome each day. I would highly recommend AC to any parents looking for an amazing and happy place to care for their child.

We love ACNS! My daughter went for 3 years and I can't wait for the next one to start! The teachers are so caring and kind. They incorporate learning into play which is so important with this age group. I can't' recommend them enough!
Elizabeth Peduzzi
Our sons went to Animal Crackers for 5 years combined, and it was the best possible start for them. The teachers were so loving, nurturing, and invested in all of their students and always went above and beyond. It was like a second home to us for so long, it made it very difficult for us to leave when my younger son graduated last year. Animal Crackers will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
Kristen Allen
Both of my children attended Animal Crackers over the last few years. We continue to have a wonderful experience. The teachers are mature, personable, minimal turn-over and most importantly they love the kids. My daughter has multiple allergies and we never had an issue. I would highly recommend it!

My daughter has attended Animal Crackers Nursery School for the past year. And though it is a pandemic year, the school's caring and understanding of early childhood development is phenomenal. My daughter has loved her teachers and is excited to go to school every day. When the pandemic hit, the school continued to provide classes and support for families. They had virtual lessons and provided materials to families so students could continue to learn.
With the opening of the new school year, they have followed the guidelines and made fantastic use of the play yard to include outdoor classrooms and a safe learning space! Additionally, to support families, they created a School-age program for kindergarten students. As my son is a Kindergartener, we were able to take advantage of ACNS and enroll him in this program during hybrid learning. They provide him with the support necessary to do his remote lessons and keep him on task and engaged. He loves attending this school. He did not attend as a pre-schooler due to his IEP needs. However, the school has adapted and taken into consideration his needs.
We are a multi-generational family. My husband also attended ACNS and we will continue to recommend this school to anyone in the North Attleboro area.

I am so thrilled I found Discovery Daycare. My daughter attends the toddler program, Miss. Jeri and Miss. Melissa are her teachers and are amazing! My daughter loves talking about all the fun things they do in class together and for her first time ever being in a daycare and not with family members, I couldn't feel more comfortable! Thanks guys for all you do!!
Erin Lilley
My daughter started at The Academy of Learning- Discovery Daycare this past July. In this difficult time with COVID and so many unknowns, the school was always reliable, clean, and dependable. They promote outdoor play and expanded their playground to incorporate play that caters to learning for all ages. They have been adapted to new regulations in a way to help the students grow and learn in many ways. I get pictures and videos of my daughter throughout the day/week and the communication with her teachers and the office is consistent and reassuring to me that she’s learning and having fun while at school. I highly recommend The Academy of Learning in Plainville and I am very happy with this school.
Olivia Powell
This school has been awesome for my son. My son was kept home until he was 3, he had separation anxiety, fears, sensory issues, medical issues, etc. this school made his transition so smooth and my son LOVED going and always raved about his teachers and friends! I could go on and on but honestly it was just such a good experience for us they were really on top of things and you could tell they genuinely cared.
Sydney Herron
I love Discovery daycare! When I first enrolled my son, it was a very hard transition. They were so welcoming and took their time with him. We’re now going on 1.5 years with the school and he loves it! The teachers are amazing ! Couldn’t recommend a better daycare !
Kristy DeStefano
We LOVE Discovery Daycare. It’s hard to leave your child with anyone, but I’m always certain that the teachers treat my son with love, nurturing, and kindness. His teachers feel like they are part of our family and communicate with us openly and frequently.
The Procare app is a great feature that provides glimpses into my son’s day. He has blossomed in their care and I’m constantly in awe of all he’s learning (he came home counting to 10 and singing his abc’s at a little over one year old).
I would recommend Discovery Day to anyone who wants the best childcare for their littles.
Jennifer Kuzmickas
We love Discovery Daycare in Plainville, MA. All three of my children have attended. My children are happy to run in and see their teachers, excited for what the day will bring them, and are so happy when I come to pick them up. I have always felt that the teachers genuinely care about each child there. The communication from the center is wonderful. I am always notified of anything going with my kids or upcoming activities. These teachers really put their all into caring for, loving, and teaching the children. I highly recommend Discovery Daycare.

Animal Crackers has provided an amazing experience for my daughter, she’s learning so much, has fun when in school and has made a ton of friends. The staff have been incredible and super involved updating us on our daughters progress every day. AC Truly offers the best experience a parent could hope for in a school.
Alexandra Riley
This is our first year at Animal Crackers and our son LOVES it! We could not be happier with his teachers and all of the wonderful friends he has made. He is always engaged in something new everyday and so excited to tell me about his day when he gets home. It is evident that there is so much care and effort that goes into planning each day. If you are looking for a place like home, Animal Crackers is it!
Stacie Skryz
We enrolled our son there for preschool 2 years ago and this year he is in Pre-K there. We couldn't be happier and love the quality of care and learning we see on a daily basis. He will definitely be ready for Kindergarten due to their program. The teachers are all so nice and really take the time to get to know their students well and it shows how much they truly care about them. We would highly recommend Animal Crackers!
Cindy Kenney
What's not to love?! They have the most loving, patient and nurturing staff. The program and curriculum is top notch. They went above and beyond during an unprecedented time last year with Covid; adjusting and adapting their programs to make sure our kids remained safe and engaged. Their Distance Learning School-age Program was a lifesaver; the support my daughter was given and the bonds she built will never be forgotten. She would beg for "5 more minutes" everyday when I arrived for pickup! Cannot recommend this school enough!
Kate Iannotti
Our child attended Animal Crackers for two years, including through the pandemic. The staff is outstanding, they care deeply for the children and provided a safe and loving environment during very challenging times. From special events to thoughtful handmade crafts to celebrate special moments, the school approaches every learning opportunity with the same care and fun. We are grateful our child had such a wonderful experience.
Stacy Martin
My son went to AC and absolutely loved it there and so did I! It is a parents dream to have their child in a safe, loving, caring, and structured learning environment. Animal crackers has all of these things to offer a family. We highly recommend Animal Crackers. They helped shape my child into a wonderful little boy ❤️
Caitlin MacKay
Our family is so happy to have our child at Animal Crackers! The staff is wonderful and always there when you need them! Our child was even able to continue learning throughout the pandemic. Recent technology updates have made communication so easy. We’re looking forward to continuing here with our younger child!
Kerri Kim
Both of our children went to Animal Crackers over the past 7 years and loved every moment. The teachers are kind, caring, dedicated and really grow an excitement for learning in their students. We highly recommend this amazing school!
Nancy Wiens
My kids love Animals Crackers! The staff is wonderful and the program is great. They really cater to each individual child and their unique needs. Our family can’t thank the Animal Crackers team enough for all of their hard work and everything they do for the kids!
Shannon Donovan
Animal Crackers is an amazing school. My daughter learned so much academically and socially. They offer a bunch of enrichment programs for the kids. The teachers are kind, enthusiastic, creative and resourceful. I always knew my daughter was safe there and gained so much in the years she was there. She still talks about the wonderful memories she made there.
Dave Hennessey
Discovery has been a great place for our daughter, and somewhere that I’m very comfortable sending her. She always comes home happy, and definitely engages with us more after a day at school. We really appreciate the updates and check-ins throughout the day that they provide us (pictures and videos), and it lets us know what she’s doing, as she does it. This gives us something to specifically ask about at the end of the day (“Did you do a craft today? What did you make? Did you have fun doing virtual yoga?) so she knows we’re in the loop.
Victoria Pierre
Choosing the right daycare for your child is extremely stressful and important. I can assure you that Discovery Daycare is the best. I visited a few daycares in the area and I loved this one in particular. Tara the daycare director focuses on the most important things your child will need to strive for excellence in life. All the teachers at the daycare are extremely nice. I love that I chose this daycare for my daughter. I appreciate all the teachers there and her teacher Ms. Margeaux for sending my baby home safe and with more knowledge. -VP
Brian Borgatti
Great staff, and a very safe and friendly environment. My daughter loves it! Best of all, the hours fit my needs(they open a half hour earlier than any other place around), and the fees are much easier on my wallet than other daycare centers in the area.
Derek Smith
Over the past 8 years I had the pleasure of sending three kids to Animal Crackers Nursery School. The staff treats the children with incredible care, empathy and kindness. All three children had a great experience spending multiple years at the school and left exceptionally prepared for Kindergarten and beyond. I attribute a great deal of the success they have had in elementary school to the foundation that was laid at Animal Crackers. Could not recommend them more!!!
Sarah Giambanco
Both of my children attend Discovery and we couldn’t be happier. Danielle and the rest of the staff have been so kind and accommodating. I continue to be amazed at how much my 3 and 1/2 year old is learning both socially and academically. More importantly, both our kids love it there and always come out with smiling faces.
Dzmitry Makatsaryia
This is place is great. We started this day care when our little son was 1,5 yo. And the accommodation was easy and fast, now it’s almost 2 years since we joint the daycare. The teachers are nice and professional. They have a lot of activities for kids and great schedule.
Highly recommend.
Haley Downs Loughran
This was our 3 year old son’s first time in a preschool/daycare setting. Our son absolutely loves going here! He actually doesn’t want to leave now when I pick him up. We actually just added another day for him during the week!! Their brand new outdoor play-set had a very positive impact on him too. Ms. Rhonda’s 20+ years experience (I believe most of them being at this school) shows in the way she speaks to the kids - getting down on their level and being understanding of their needs. Miss Autumn is a sweet-natured and highly experienced teacher who always has a smile and something positive to say! They make an amazing team. Ms. Danielle & Ms. Raidiris are kind, helpful and supportive with all of my questions & concerns. I love that they teach the children emotional intelligence as well as a curriculum during the school year. The summer fee was beyond reasonable. They have fun activities for the kids like water days and Kona Ice this year! The app is easy to use & I love getting pictures of my sweet boy during the day. Bonus: extra safety and security precautions recently added as well. I would definitely recommend Discovery Day!
Katelyn Haldiman
I highly recommend Animal Crackers for preschool! My daughter has really blossomed this past year, she has some anxiety especially in social settings, since starting Animal Crackers I have noticed a great improvement. She enjoys going to school everyday and the teachers are the best! She has truly learned so much and I believe she is ready for kindergarten thanks to the wonderful staff. I love it so much I’m sending my other daughter there this summer!
Becky Miller
We LOVE Animal Crackers. As a mom who has stayed home with my daughter since she was born I thought for sure I would be heart broken leaving her at school but after meeting the amazing teachers, I didn’t think twice about it on the first day. My daughter absolutely adores her teacher Ms Kim and loves Ms Colleen and Ms Kerri as well. Communication is wonderful and I love getting pictures of her throughout the day doing different activities. The teachers and staff go above and beyond in everything they do for and with the kids, it will be a really sad day when my kiddos have to graduate from this wonderful school but I know they will be more than prepared for the next stage of their education. We have noticed so many positive changes in our daughter and so much progress in her language, thinking, imagination and social skills. I can’t say it enough, we love Animal Crackers!

They continued to provide their top notch curriculum and outstanding learning experience during the pandemic through a very safe and loving environment . Both my kids are always very excited in the morning to go to animal crackers and meet their loving teachers and friends .
Lee-Ann Johnson
I can’t say enough great things about Animal Crackers! All four of my boys went to preschool here and we loved every one of their teachers. Their new outdoor learning space is incredible. We visited nearly every preschool in town when we first moved to town in 2014 and Animal Crackers really stood out as being the most nurturing environment.
Sarah Rizzo
We have had two children enrolled at Animal Crackers over the past four years and we couldn't be happier with the part day program. We wanted to find a school that aligned with our values of play-based learning and mixed age groups, and we found just that and so much more at ACNS. The unique offering of an afternoon program has worked so well for our family, as the afternoon groups tend to be smaller. We've also loved the enrichment programs that were added to the school's regular curriculum. Our kids light up whenever we pull into the driveway of ACNS and they come home with stories that show just how well loved they are by the most amazing teachers. Our third child will be entering preschool in just over a year and we can't imagine sending her anywhere else. Animal Crackers is simply the best and will always be our top recommendation when friends and family ask for help finding a preschool!
zach achin
Great staff who really care for your children. We sent our daughter here as well as our son. They keep the kids healthy, happy, safe and prepare them for when they start kindergarten. Easy to use app to track where your child is which also gives you access to the teachers for questions and pictures that they take daily.
Nicole Eckhardt
Love love love Animal Crackers. My oldest son attended the full day program last year and my other son is currently enrolled in the Part day program. The teachers are amazing and the boys really enjoy going to school!
Andrew Roque (Andy)
I went to Animal Crackers when I was a kid, and now my two little ones go and they enjoy it every day. The staff is very professional, engaged, and they clearly enjoy their work with young children. Recent updates at the school including using an app have made things smooth and simple. I would definitely recommend it.
Allysa Ross
I feel so blessed to have this school and all the teachers in my child’s life! Professional, caring, patient and loving! The teachers go above and beyond on a daily basis to ensure the children’s needs are met and that most of all they are having fun doing it!
A.L Lesure
My husband and I had a very challenging time trying to decide where both our children would attend preschool and preK. We looked into several programs and child care options. Discovery Day checked all of our boxes. They are a curriculum-based program that has flexible days, hours, and fairly priced. They encourage outdoor play and emphasize compassion. From the very beginning the administration and teachers have been absolutely wonderful. There is daily communication including photos. The teachers and staff have continued to be amazing – they are kind and easy to talk to. Both my kids have made friends in their classes and love their teachers, Miss Margeaux and Miss Lisa! I would absolutely recommend Discovery Day Care and so happy we decided to enroll our children in their program!
Sara Wheeler
My 5 yr old comes.here 5 days a week. From the beginning when i called for info and prices, the assistant director went above and beyond to help me. My daughter now comes discovery daily and im grateful to get photos and updates throughout the day. No other daycare that ive dealt with has done the types of things that discovery does. They are the best around and yet affordable at same time! We will not be leaving discovery anytime soon!
Cindy B
Very caring, compassionate staff. Structured to the child's developing needs. I have taken three children here for daycare and it was such a positive experience for them all.
Everyone that I have spoken with that has had children go here all said the same thing, their children loved this daycare!
Thank you for taking such great care of the kiddos!!
