Before and After School Child Care Program
Discovery Link is a licensed child care program offered at select Denver Public Schools, including Edison Elementary. Edison is a Discovery Link School Age site serving children ages 5-12.
In 1984, Denver Community School developed this successful program. Our purpose is to provide high quality educational, recreational and cultural opportunities for children. Discovery Link’s philosophy is to provide a creative, safe and caring environment for children before and after the regular school day. We believe that choice is essential for children’s growth and happiness. We teach children to solve their own problems by modeling correct behavior and emphasizing clear conduct guidelines. Our child care centers are staffed with qualified professionals trained in the areas of CPR, First Aid, activity planning and behavior management.
Discovery Link operates M-F with the following programs and hours
