Discovery Time Daycare Reviews

Aviva Kamler 2026.03.17

     

As a first-time mom, finding the right daycare felt incredibly overwhelming—and so important. We wanted a place where our daughter would be loved, supported, and truly nurtured, and we feel so beyond lucky to have found Discovery Time Daycare. Karina, Karla, and the entire staff are truly exceptional. From day one, they created an environment where our daughter felt comfortable, cared for, and excited to learn. It’s clear how much thought and intention goes into everything they do—from the daily structure to the warmth they show each child. From the homemade food to the exciting daily activities, art, and music teachers, every detail is so thoughtfully curated. Karina and Karla are truly top notch, and it shows in every aspect of the program. They have become such an important part of our daughter’s growth and development. We’ve watched her thrive socially, emotionally, and intellectually, and we know that’s a direct reflection of the love and guidance she receives every day. We feel incredibly lucky to have someone like Karina—and her amazing team—supporting us on this journey of parenthood. The level of care, communication, and professionalism is unmatched. You can feel how much they genuinely care about each child, and that peace of mind as a parent is priceless. We absolutely rave about Discovery Time to anyone who will listen. It is truly a gem, and we are so grateful to be part of their community.

Discovery Time Daycare is truly a special place! We could not be happier there. My daughter loves going each day, and it’s wonderful to see how much she is learning and growing. Her vocabulary has expanded so much, and she is constantly surprising me with new words, songs, and concepts she has learned. Karina has an incredible rapport with the children. She is warm, attentive, and clearly cares deeply about every child in her care. My daughter adores her.The environment she creates feels nurturing, joyful, and fun, and my daughter is thriving. My daughter is always excited to go in the morning and happily heads right in to start her day. It’s clear she feels so comfortable and loved there and I know she will be well cared for, nurtured and encouraged every day. Karina is also wonderful with parents and is always so thoughtful and incredibly supportive. She is a gem and a gift and we feel very lucky to have found Discovery Time Daycare. It really is a magical place for little ones to learn, play, and grow.

Karina and her incredible team have been absolute lifesavers for our family! Our son has been with them since he was just 4 months old, and we can’t imagine a better place for him to grow and thrive. Karina is truly gifted at taking care of young children and pouring her heart into everything she does. She's always having them do something different, our son has learned so much, so quickly, and it’s clear how much he loves being there—it’s his second home! Karina’s flexibility and family-centered approach have been a complete game-changer for us. She understands the needs of busy parents and goes above and beyond to make things work for each family. From early drop offs to freshly cooked breakfast, lunch and snacks. We would honestly be lost without Karina and her team and can't wait to send our second child there soon! If you’re looking for a daycare where your child will be loved, nurtured, and encouraged to grow, look no further. This is the place!

We are so grateful to Discovery Time Daycare and Karina for the incredible care our son received. He started at just 5 months old, and from day one we felt completely confident in the nurturing, loving environment. Karina genuinely treats each child as her own, always thinking about their well-being and providing enriching, educational, and fun experiences every day. The food is delicious, the environment is engaging, and our son always came home happy and excited to share what he learned. Discovery Time truly felt like "baby paradise" for him. We feel so lucky to have had such a wonderful start to our parenting journey and highly recommend this daycare to anyone looking for a caring, thoughtful, and joyful place for their little one.

We are SO incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing place for our daughter to grow and learn! She started with Karina and Karla at 6 months old and has thrived in their care! She’s THRILLED to come into school everyday, has learned so many skills along the way, clearly has a BLAST, and it’s easy to see that Karina and Karla love her like she is their own. They’re silly, playful, joyful, and overall so engaged in these children’s wellbeing. Discovery Time is a warm, safe, communicative, and nurturing environment - for both the kids and parents. They’re family!

Karina and Karla have been like family to us the past couple of years. As CA transplants, there’s no bigger impact to our kids’ (and our) lives than Discovery Time. We are so grateful for the comfort we feel every day having the boys with them. You won’t make a better choice than entrusting Karina and her family with yours.

We cannot say enough amazing things about Discovery Time Daycare! After such an incredible experience with our first child, we're thrilled to now be sending our second child here as well. Karina and her staff don't just care for the children - they pour their hearts into every single interaction. The genuine love and attention they show each child is obvious. Karina has also created a lovely environment in her home: a happy, immaculately clean, and peaceful space where all the kids love to spend time. As working parents, the peace of mind we have knowing our children are safe, deeply loved, and thriving is truly priceless. There is thoughtfulness in every aspect of the program - from nutritious meals to engaging play. The team here truly love the children as if they were their own family, and that level of genuine care is irreplaceable. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Discovery Time Daycare and are grateful our children have had a loving home to safely spend their time.

We are so grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare for our daughter, Blaire. From the very beginning, when Blaire was just 4 months old, Karina and Karla have provided a loving, caring, and nurturing environment that has made all the difference in her growth and development. Karina and Karla go above and beyond to make sure every child feels safe and loved. They always greet Blaire with warm smiles and take the time to cater to her individual needs, whether it’s a comforting cuddle or a fun activity to help her learn and explore. Their patience and attention to detail never go unnoticed, and I feel so at ease knowing that Blaire is in their capable and caring hands. The genuine affection Karina and Karla have for the children is evident in everything they do, and I truly feel like they’re an extension of our family. Blaire has thrived under their care, and it brings me so much peace of mind knowing that she is surrounded by such loving and dedicated caregivers. I can’t thank them enough for everything they’ve done for our family!

I want to leave my testimonial here as Karina’s sister and say just how dedicated and loving she is with children. Ever since she was little, Karina has always had a special fondness for kids, and I truly believe she has a God-given gift for caring for them. She’s incredibly attentive, patient, and creates such a warm atmosphere at Discovery Time Daycare that the kids feel right at home. If you’re looking for a place where your child will be treated with lots of love and care, I couldn’t recommend a better place. Karina truly does this from the heart, with all the dedication in the world.

There's no other daycare we would trust with our daughter. They're always happy to help with any flexibility we need, our daughter loves Karina and the rest of the staff and she comes home happy. We notice that she's learning new things everyday which she then comes home and shows us. It's hard having kids go off to daycare for most of the day but it's made a little bit easier knowing she's having fun and well taken care of by everyone at Discovery Time.

Our child has been attending Discovery Time Daycare in Greenbrae with Karina since August 2022, and it has been an incredible experience. Karina’s dedication to providing a safe, loving, and nurturing environment is evident in every detail. From the nutritious meals she prepares to the creative activities, such as park outings and music lessons, she ensures each child is engaged and thriving. What sets Karina apart is her genuine commitment to going above and beyond. She has accommodated overnight stays, offering peace of mind during times of need, whether for travel preparation or when we were unwell. Our child loves spending time with her, always smiling at drop-off and pick-up. Karina’s warmth, attention to detail, and passion for fostering development make Discovery Time Daycare truly special. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any parent in Marin County looking for a caring, supportive, and enriching environment for their little one. Karina is a gem, and we are so grateful to have her in our lives!

Karina is absolutely incredible! Our family loves her and I always highly recommend her to anyone that asks! Karina is trustworthy, responsible, and so loving - she will love your baby like they are her own. She has a lot of experience and is very attune to baby's needs. Karina came into our lives when our daughter Zoe was about 15 weeks old, and was on a bottle strike. Karina was so wonderful, patient, calm, and confident with Zoe and got her to drink from a bottle by her second day with her. It was an incredible relief as I was going back to work. I never worried about Zoe while Karina was with her, and Zoe immediately took to her, laughing and smiling with her. Karina gets down on the floor with babies - reads to them, shows them things, helps with developmental areas like tummy time and head control - and spends lots of time outdoors on walks and at the park. She respected and followed the schedule I was trying to keep Zoe on with regards to bottles and naps. Karina has also taken care of many of the babies in my mom's group and always gets rave reviews. Karina is a great communicator, always on time, and extremely professional. It is rare to find someone this special.
