The Discovery School–Bay Area Discovery Museum

The Discovery School (TDS) offers a unique preschool experience, blending the enriching environment of Bay Area Discovery Museum and the picturesque Fort Baker national park in California. Here, learning isn't just about the basics; it's an adventure unfolding in an environment rich with stimulating experiences and the beauty of the natural world. As the state's only museum-based preschool, TDS is dedicated to nurturing every child’s natural wonder and curiosity. Our approach to learning is dynamic and innovative, utilizing a curriculum informed by the latest research in early childhood development. Inspired by the esteemed preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, TDS's educational philosophy centers on respecting and celebrating each child, encouraging them to guide their learning journey.
