Preschool and Daycare in Morrisville, PA
Kids Camp
Grades K through 5
Before/After School Care
School Pickup and Drop Off
The school day ends before the workday does. What your child does with those hours matters.
At Discovery Kids Camp, homework gets done, energy gets used, and kids build confidence they carry back into the classroom.
When school lets out, your child still has hours left in their day. Many before and after school programs fill that time with a gym, a TV, and a head count. We think it deserves more. Discovery Kids Camp combines real academic support with active, purposeful play, so your child comes home with homework finished and energy spent.
Kids Camp is led by Andy Salzmann, who brings more than seven years of youth athletics coaching and a simple belief: kids learn most deeply when they are genuinely engaged and having fun.
Transportation included.
Discovery operates its own 16-passenger bus, serving:
Grandview Elementary
Morrisville Intermediate
Makefield Elementary

Homework help.
Our staff sit down with kids to work through assignments, so the evening at home can be family time instead of a homework battle.
Reading reinforcement.
Regular reading practice helps children build fluency and confidence, reinforcing the work happening in their classrooms.
Active, purposeful play.
Organized games and sports build teamwork, coordination, and physical fitness. Kids learn to win well, lose well, and try again.
Confidence that carries over.
A child who learns to stick with a hard drill or lead a team in a game brings that same confidence to a hard math problem or a new classroom.
Academics
Homework help and reading practice are part of every afternoon, not an afterthought.
Your child keeps building on what they learned in school.
Activity
Kids who have been sitting in a classroom all day need to move.
Our games and sports are designed to build coordination, teamwork, and fitness, not just burn time.
Confidence
Whether it is finishing a book, making a new friend, or catching a fish at the park for the first time, every day is a chance for your child to prove to themselves what they can do.
What Sets Discovery's Kids Camp Apart
Our own bus. Discovery's 14-passenger bus serves Grandview Elementary, Morrisville Intermediate, and Makefield Elementary. No arranging rides, no rushing out of work at dismissal.
Homework done before pickup. Our staff work through assignments with your child every afternoon, along with regular reading practice, so evenings at home can be family time.
Led by a coach. Andy Salzmann brings 7+ years of youth athletics coaching. His programs use organized games and sports to build teamwork, coordination, and the confidence to keep trying when something is hard.
Summer camp with everything included. Weekly rates cover an attraction admission, bowling or roller skating, a movie, two days of swimming, and park days for sports and fishing. Every camper gets a t-shirt, water bottle, and backpack.
ELRC subsidy accepted. Every family, every child, exactly the same quality of care. Subsidized and full-rate families share the same educators, the same curriculum, and the same monthly conferences.
One family, from 6 weeks through 5th grade. Families who start with us as infants never have to search, tour, or rebuild trust with a new provider. The relationships, and the people who know your child, grow with them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where is Discovery Cares located?
Discovery Day Care is located at 312 West Trenton Ave #5, Morrisville PA 19067 .
We serve families from Morrisville, Yardley, Lower Makefield, Falls Township, Bristol Township, and the surrounding Bucks County communities.
Do we accept ELRC subsidy?
Yes. Discovery Cares accepts subsidized childcare through Bucks County ELRC Region 23.
Every family receives the same educators, the same curriculum, and the same monthly milestone conferences regardless of how care is paid for.
What age do you accept?
We accept children from the day they start Kindergarten through the end of the summer after 5th grade.
For summer camp, all participants must have completed Kindergarten
How do you track my child's development?
We track every child across eight developmental domains aligned to the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards: approaches to learning, social-emotional development, language and literacy, mathematical thinking, scientific thinking, social studies thinking, creative expression, and physical development.
Teachers observe and document skills seasonally using a structured checklist, and we review the full record with you every month at a family conference.
How do you handle my child's schedule?
We care for them, drop them off at school, pick them up, and bring their day to a close until their 6PM pick up time.
We follow each child's individual schedule rather than a room-wide routine. Some children bring food, but we provide snacks and water
We coordinate closely with families, especially during transitions like starting and ending the school year.
What is your educator-to-infant ratio?
Pennsylvania sets strict standards for ratios based on ages. We maintain that ratio. Period. Mornings operate at 12:1 ratio, while afternoon care is typically 7:1.
We maintain that standard and structure our room and have 3 consistent teachers across our program, so the students get to know their teachers and build relationships that last.
How many children are enrolled at Discovery Kids Camp?
Discovery Kids Camp has 12 spots for morning/before school and 22 spots for afternoon. Almost all of the children who do before school, also come in the afternoon.
That is a deliberate choice, not a capacity constraint.
At 40 children, every educator knows every child by name, temperament, and developmental stage.
Is Discovery Cares a Franchise?
No. Discovery is a family-owned program operated by the Mobile and Salzmann families.
Our owner is our director. She is present in the building daily and has a formal education background.
What does a typical day look like for a child at Discovery?
Every child follows a personalized schedule built around their academic load, and we adjust it based on their capacity day-to-day..
There is no one-size-fits-all routine in our care program. Throughout the day we focus on getting energy out, fostering collaborative play, and giving the students focused attention and support for school work.
What if my kid is ahead of where they should be developmentally?
We have advanced curriculum and coursework for children to pursue if they show skill beyond their biological age.
How will I know what my child did during the day?
We use BrightWheel for daily communication. You receive real-time updates with activities throughout the care period.
Quarterly family conferences go deeper, covering developmental observations, milestone progress, and what we are focusing on next.
How do you support children from homes where English is not the primary language?
Relationship development at this stage is about building the foundations of communication, and that foundation is strongest in the language a child hears most at home.
Our custom built milestone tracking system notes home language separately and treats skills demonstrated in any language as genuine strengths.
We welcome families to share words, songs, and phrases from home so teachers can incorporate them into the infant room.

6 Weeks - 12 Months Old
Where every first is witnessed, documented, and celebrated.
The infant room is where it all begins. Our teachers build secure, consistent relationships with each baby from day one, because the research is clear: a child who feels safe with their caregiver is a child who can learn. Every feeding, every song, every moment of eye contact is purposeful. We track each baby's development across eight domains aligned to the Pennsylvania Early Learning Standards and share real observations with you every month, not just a mood update.
What we are working on:
• Secure attachment and trust with a consistent caregiver
• Sensory exploration through touch, sound, movement, and play
• Early communication through babbling, gestures, and first words
• Gross motor development: head control, rolling, sitting, and reaching
1-2 Years Old
Big curiosity. Brand new legs. Endless things to figure out.
Young toddlers are explorers, and our classroom is built for it. At this stage, children are learning to walk with confidence, use their first words, and figure out how the world works by touching, testing, and trying again. Our teachers provide a structured, language-rich environment where every investigation is encouraged and every attempt is met with patience and support. Independence and attachment go hand in hand at this age, and we take both seriously.
What we are working on:
• Secure attachment and trust with a consistent caregiver
• Sensory exploration through touch, sound, movement, and play
• Early communication through babbling, gestures, and first words
• Gross motor development: head control, rolling, sitting, and reaching
Learn about our Infant Program
2-3 Years Old
Strong opinions. Growing sentences. Ready for more.
Two-year-olds are developing fast and know it. They want to do things themselves, talk about what they see, and test every boundary they can find. Our teachers channel that energy into purposeful play: dramatic scenarios, simple counting games, art exploration, and cooperative activities with peers. We track skills like one-to-one counting, following two-step directions, and using words to work through conflict because these are not just social skills. They are the foundation for everything that comes next.
What we are working on:
• Speaking in simple sentences and expanding vocabulary daily
• Counting to 5 and beginning to understand more and less
• Exploring dramatic play and beginning cooperative interactions
• Running, jumping, and developing fine motor control with tools
Learn about our Older Toddler Program
3-6 Years Old
This is where kindergarten readiness becomes a documented outcome, not a hope.
Our Pre-K program is where Discovery's approach becomes most visible. Three, four, and five year olds are developing the executive function skills, literacy foundations, and mathematical thinking that will define their kindergarten experience. We track key readiness milestones, including sustained attention, letter recognition, phonological awareness, and one-to-one counting, across both our 3-year-old and 4 to 5-year-old classrooms. When a child is ready to move ahead, we give them the next challenge immediately. The goal is not to meet the standard. It is to exceed it.
What we are working on:
• Phonological awareness: rhyming, syllables, and beginning letter sounds
• Number recognition, counting objects, and early addition and subtraction
• Sustaining focus, managing emotions, and navigating peer relationships
• Writing their name, using scissors, and building fine motor control

6-12 Years Old
School does not stop at 3 PM. Neither do we.
Discovery Kids Camp provides before and after school care for kindergarten through fifth grade, currently serving Grandview Elementary, Morrisville Intermediate, and Makefield Elementary via our own 16-passenger bus. This is not a holding room. Andy Salzmann leads a program that blends structured homework support with active, purposeful activities designed to build confidence, teamwork, and physical development. Every child who walks through the door gets time to decompress, finish their work, and do something they are genuinely good at.
What we are working on:
• Homework help and reading reinforcement in a structured, low-pressure setting
• Active play and team activities that build confidence and social skills
• A consistent, caring adult presence from pickup through closing
• Transportation from Grandview, Morrisville Intermediate, and Makefield Elementary

Summer Camp
A full summer of real experiences, not screens and boredom.
Discovery Kids Camp runs weekly summer programming for ages 5 through 12, and every week is packed. Swimming twice a week, bowling or roller skating, a movie, park days for sports and fishing, and at least one off-site attraction per week. Every camper receives a t-shirt, water bottle, and drawstring backpack at enrollment. Andy designs each week so there is always something to look forward to, something physical, something creative, and something that gets kids outside and moving. This is summer the way it is supposed to feel.
What we are working on:
• Two swim days per week plus bowling, skating, or a movie each week
• Off-site field trips and park days with sports, fishing, and playgrounds
• A caring, experienced staff that knows every child by name
• A (collectible) t-shirt, water bottle, and backpack included at enrollment
Learn about our Full Day Summer Camp
Discovery’s infant program has room for your family.
The intro call is 15 minutes with our Director! A real conversation about your child, your schedule, and whether Discovery is the right fit.
It is not a sales call. Most families leave with their questions answered and a clear sense of where things stand.
Individuality
Every baby arrives with a temperament, a preference, a pace. We build our care around who your child already is, not a program they have to fit into.
Care
We tell you the truth. About what we observed today, about where your child is in their development, and about anything that concerns us. you deserve a partner, not a cheerleader.
Excellence
We are actively building towards Pennsylvania's highest Keystone STARS quality designation, because meeting state standards is a floor, not a ceiling.
