Hear What Parents Have To Say...

"Discovery Kidzone has our full and complete trust. We love it!!!"

We started our first child with Discovery Kidzone over two years ago. The staff has instilled confidence in her that I didn't think could ever happen. Now we send both of our girls there. Our youngest started when she was just three months old and I won't take them anywhere else. DKZ has our full and complete trust. We love it!!

- Jamie Jespersen

"I love Miss Chelsea. It made my heart so happy!!!"

I was talking to Ava last night about school and while we were getting ready for her to go to bed she said "I love Miss Chelsea". ❤️❤️. It made my heart so happy and it's good to know she is in such good hands!

- Kris McElravy Schmaus

"The teachers there were then willing to learn her additional needs..."

We joined DKZ because I heard such good things about the care and development they provide. My little requires more assistance than most due to medical needs. The teachers there were then willing to learn her additional needs. She was always ranking lower than average on any milestones and learning abilities. We just had an assessment and she is at or above 76% of her peers. I truly feel this is a result of us being at DKZ. I will be forever grateful to all the staff, who have provided such wonderful care to my little.

- Sarah Dundas

"It gives me such a huge peace of mind with him being at DKZ"

I couldn't be more pleased with Discovery KidZone. My son has been so happy being there. The staff communicate well and are very helpful. its nice to have insight as to what your child is doing each day, and DKZ is great at keeping you in the loop and even sending pictures of your child doing activities. It gives me such a huge peace of mind with him being at DKZ.

- Jessica Evans

"We love you and appreciate you all! I recommend DKZ to everyone"

They communicate extensively with parents through all concerns and ensure any issues are resolved. I recommend DKZ to everyone and will continue to drive my boys to Montana City even though we live on the West side of Helena. Because when you find quality, the travel is worth it. Thank you so much to all the teachers who have been part of my boys' education. We love you and appreciate you all!”

- Sarah Mohr

"They do a lot of crafts, parties and fun stuff the kids love!"

Clean, super safe and a great environment. My son loved the field trips to the ski hill in January and the bike riding days! I love how he learned skills like serving himself at family style meals and I never worried about him at Discovery KidZone. They have a good security system in place for checking your kiddos in and out. They do a lot of crafts, parties and fun stuff the kids love!”

- Heather Grace Nelson

"Absolutely LOVE Discover Kidzone! I highly recommend it to all!"

My son loves going there, and has blossomed since his enrollment. I don't feel I could have chosen a better school for him. All the staff are wonderful! They really do some neat activities with the kids. I appreciate the observations they send us that has a picture and describes the learning activities my son has done. It also includes how well he did it and how he can grow in that area. It truly is an awesome school!
