Announcements
- IN CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER, CDC will observe the same emergency school closings as the Plano ISD due to snow, ice, or gas shortages. The closings for the public schools are announced on local network TV stations and on almost all local radio stations. IMPORTANT...If Plano ISD elects to begin school late due to severe weather and driving conditions, CDC will remain closed for the entire school day. If Plano ISD announces an early release due to severe weather, CDC will remain open until our regular dismissal time of 2 pm. It is our policy not to make up days for inclement weather closings.

Philosophy
As a ministry of Christ United Methodist Church, Children’s Discovery Center believes that each child is a child of God and should have the opportunity to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually to his or her fullest potential. Children’s Discovery Center provides learning experiences through hands-on activities with small groups of children of the same age.
Emphasis is placed on the needs of the individual child to develop self confidence and independence in successful learning opportunities. As we plan to meet the educational needs of the young children of our school, specific kinds of learning experiences will be provided to reflect an awareness and sensitivity to their learning style. Research has shown that the first five years are critical to a child’s brain development. At CDC we make learning fun. Our goal for each child is to develop a healthy, positive feeling about himself/herself and develop a love for learning.
