Philosophy

Each day, we begin with the Pledge of Allegiance, instilling a sense of community, respect, and responsibility. Our dedicated, long-term staff—deeply rooted in the Irving community—are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families we serve.

We provide an enriching environment where children explore, discover, and grow at their own pace. Through structured and unstructured play, we encourage:

  • Social and Emotional Development – Building friendships, empathy, and problem-solving skills through interactive play.
  • Cognitive Growth – Engaging in hands-on activities that promote curiosity and a love for discovery.
  • Physical Development – Strengthening motor skills through active play, outdoor exploration, and movement-based activities.
  • Spiritual and Moral Development – Incorporating faith-based values through our in-house Vacation Bible School and daily interactions.

Our Super Summer Activities enhance learning through exciting experiences, including field trips for school-aged children and engaging in-house activities for preschoolers. We aim to create an atmosphere where children feel loved, supported, and encouraged to reach their fullest potential.

At Adventure Discovery Center, we are not just a childcare center—we are a community dedicated to raising confident, compassionate, and capable future leaders. We believe that by providing children with meaningful play experiences and a strong moral foundation, we are shaping a brighter future—one child at a time.

Together, we can make a difference!
