Discovery Point Lutz, Lutz | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

we had to move to lutz area right before the start of school year and unfortunately this move have had left my little one behind, who was suppose to start VPK..Two of the assigned elementary schools were full and almost all nearby daycare’s wasn’t willing to enroll just for state funded program but for full day program and demanded to pay $900 – $1000 due to limited seats, except for Discovery point at Lutz Lake Fern road.

Firstly We were greeted by Rachel Lewis (genuine smile- hard to find these days) and right at that moment we had to witness her help out a sick kid who literally threw up very close to her,
with no hesitation but utmost kindness and care. No second thoughts, we immediately realized it was the place for us as it explained the atmosphere very well. When I had to explain that I am waiting on confirmation back from my employer about the relocation and remote job, she made arrangements to hold the free spot for us and bank check (in lieu of non refundable enrollment fees) not to be enchased and apparently she confirmed our seat the same day.

Secondly, when my kid was suppose to start the following Monday, she unfortunately developed some skin infection and therefore we had to hold her back for more than couple weeks. and then when she almost recovered, my worst fear had come true and my employer revoked the privilege of working remotely and they demanded me to be onsite. Therefore finally we had to make a conscious decision to withdraw her enrollment..

while I was very embarrassed initially to have this conveyed despite all that they did to us, Rachel still treated me with same respect and had the owner write a check for $150, (non refundable fee ) and immediately withdrew her from ELC portal without redeeming the state voucher even for the days she was supposed to be attending. Once again they proved they weren’t
just running a business but a genuine day care filled with empathy, true compassion, love, and most importantly commitment to value families and their circumstances.

we would definitely miss them for sure and highly recommend this place with more than a 5 star rating…Our Sincere thanks and appreciation to miss Rachel Lewis..

When we enrolled my son, we were further from work and home than we really wanted to be but we weren’t able to find anywhere with spots for his age at the time. We toured the facility and were happy to place him here but planned to move him if we got a spot closer to work/home. However, our son (who hadn’t been in a daycare setting previously) quickly felt comfortable and happy at DP 34. He knows all the teachers and they all know his name too. He loves coming to school each day. His teachers care and love him like we’d want. As a teacher myself, when my 3 year old said “boat”…the “b” sound then “boat starts with b!” I not only realized he was happy but he was also learning WAY more than I ever realized!! We definitely will not be moving him until he is ready to start school and will continue driving out of our way each morning and afternoon until he graduates from VPK.

My daughter has been at Discovery Point for almost a year and we could not be happier. We started when she was around 6 months old and were super anxious at the beginning. They quickly calmed our nerves with how great they were. All of the teachers have been so kind and have shown our daughter so much attention and love throughout our year here. They also have taught her so much! She comes home with new skills all the time. Also it seems like the front office staff knows every single child by name from the start which shows how much attention they give to each child. Again I can’t say enough great things!
