Question 3

You are in a church, how does that play out in your program?

Accepted Answer

Discoveryland is a service provided to the Mt. Tabor Community by the Mt. Tabor Seventh-day Adventist Church. Discoveryland is licensed with the state of Oregon as a faith-based child care center. As we go about our day learning and growing, we incorporate spiritual development through songs, stories and prayers. One moment we are singing The Wheels on the Bus and the next we are singing God is So Great. We have child friendly prayers we say before eating. One of the children’s favorite time of the week is when Pastor Katelyn comes in to tell a short Bible story.

Is staff turnover a problem at Discoveryland?

Staff turnover always makes us sad when it does happen. We are blessed that it is not something we deal with on a regular basis. Our current staff have been here between almost 3 and 36 years.

Help! My child has graduated but we love Discoveryland and we miss you! How can we return?

We also have graduates who work as Camp Assistants during the summer. We even have graduates who have returned to Discoveryland as Teachers! It is a great joy to watch your children grow up!
