Located in Elk River, our goal at Dawn of Discovery Childcare Center is to promote emotional, intellectual, social, and physical development in each child in a safe and nurturing manner. While childcare can be hard work, watching your child learn and grow is the passion of all our staff. From six weeks to five years, our curriculum is designed to offer your child a wonderful experience.
Our childcare curriculum includes fresh and healthy meals/snacks, indoor and outdoor playtime, naptime, art projects, physical fitness class, sign language, caring interaction, and much more. As a licensed childcare center, we’re able to ensure your child is in safe hands. To learn more about us and our programs, please visit our website or give us a call today!
We just started our infant in their program and have been very impressed by the responsiveness of management and the care given by the teachers and aides. They truly have a passion for what they do, and it shows!

There is no better daycare around! Dawn of Discovery feels different from other centers as soon as you step in the door. I don’t know how the teachers and staff have the energy, compassion, and empathy that they show each and every day to my kids (and to me!). I love the smiles and partnership and my kids LOVE coming here. The people here are truly special and the love and kindness they show is commendable. From checking pictures on the app, to sending a quick note to the teacher, to fun activities for the kids (e.g. yoga, bounce house, etc.), they make everything feel easy and help me feel so connected to my kids while I’m at work. I appreciate each and every teacher and staff member so much. Thank you so much for all you do for my family! You are all amazing and I can never share how much I appreciate you.

Interesting name for a childcare center ‘Dawn’ of Discovery’. I have a few friends that like this childcare center. Easy access off the highway.
