About Us
We're a nonprofit childcare center rooted in the heart of Alma — dedicated to affordable, high-quality care for every family in our community.
More Than a Childcare Center
The Children's Discovery Academy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit childcare center serving families in Alma and Gratiot County. We were founded on a simple belief: that every child — regardless of their family's income — deserves a safe, nurturing, and enriching place to grow.
Affordable Care for Working Families
We work hard to keep our programs accessible and actively connect families with financial assistance programs they may not know they qualify for.
Early Childhood Education & School Readiness
Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for kindergarten and beyond — building literacy, numeracy, creativity, and social skills from day one.
Serving the Whole Family & Community
We don't just serve children — we support parents, strengthen families, and invest in the long-term wellbeing of Alma and Gratiot County.
Our Mission
"To provide quality, affordable childcare while fostering a positive community relationship — ensuring every child in Gratiot County has access to the nurturing, enriching care they deserve."
Our Vision
"A community enriched with empowered parents and quality childcare — where every family has the resources and support they need to help their children thrive."
