Discovery Isle Preschool provides education rooted in academic excellence, character development, and lifelong learning in a space where children feel safe, loved, and empowered. For infants and toddlers, the program embraces the RIE (Resources for Infant Educarers) approach, treating them with respect, attentiveness, and empowerment, and as children grow, teachers add a strong academic program that balances creativity with rigor. The schools emphasize family communication between parents and teachers and offer personalized learning that matches the interests, learning styles, and abilities of each child. Discovery Isle’s kindergarten program is known for going beyond traditional expectations, and the schools are part of Spring Education Group, headquartered in Campbell, California.
Discovery Isle began with the vision of founder Cindy Bornemann in the early 1990s, and in 1993 she bought a small preschool in La Costa, California. Discovery Isle has been a trusted name in early childhood education for more than three decades and grew in 2013 through the acquisition of Teddy Bear Treehouse. Cindy Bornemann holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Business.
Teachers at Discovery Isle Preschool participate in ongoing professional development, and each school is led by experienced educators, many with five to twenty years of tenure. Teachers bring an average of three to five years of experience, with many having spent over fifteen years helping children learn and grow. Discovery Isle Preschool has locations throughout the greater San Diego area and serves families at nine campuses, and each school’s leaders live in their school community and understand its needs.
