New Infant & Toddler Playground Turf Installed for Added Safety & Fun!

Discovery Point Suwanee recently installed artificial turf on our Infant Playground to RAVE Reviews!

The new turf replaced the mulch and grass areas of the playground. We used a premium turf that replicates the feel of a lush fescue.

The reaction has been unanimous among the teachers, parents and children - everybody loves it! Parents and teachers no longer have to worry about clothing stains or children eating mulch.

Children love having a soft carpet of grass that allows them to go outside shortly after the end of a rain shower.

It is a great Win-Win for all involved!!  Please feel free to stop by to see for yourself.

Georgia's First Lady selects Discovery Point Suwanee to Celebrate the Week of the Young Child

Discovery Point Suwanee was selected by the First Lady of Georgia, Mrs. Sandra Deal to celebrate the 2013 Week of the Young Child which is an annual celebration of Early Childhood Teachers who make a difference in the lives of our young children.  This years theme was "Early Years are Learning Years" 

On Friday April 19th,  Georgia's First Lady visited Discovery Point Suwanee to read to our Pre-K children.  Mrs. Deal was accompanied by Commissioner Bobby Cagle of Bright From the Start.  Commissioner Cagle also read a book for our Pre-K and Preschool classrooms.   Both readers did a fantastic job in engaging the children - there were over a hundred thumbs up!

The First Lady's visit was recorded in the AJC which quoted Mrs. Deal as saying "It is important for children to learn proper pronunciation, expression, pauses and cadence.  It is my hope that these visits encourage our children to read to others and become young teachers themselves."
