About Discoveries East End in Yaphank

We are a Creative Curriculum-based daycare in Yaphank. We care for children from 6 weeks to 12 years and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on play-based learning and creativity. By blending indoor and outdoor environments in a home-away-from-home setting, we create a space where children feel empowered and ready to learn.

Who We Are

Discoveries East End got its start in Yaphank in 2016 by Founder Jennifer LaMaina. We created a space that fosters early learning in a fun and safe environment where children can explore the world around them.

We believe our innovative approach gives children a bright and positive start in life as we encourage both exploration and discovery as well as emotional intelligence and building friendships.

Merging Teaching and Childcare

We offer a variety of programs, including daycare for infants and toddlers, preschool, pre-kindergarten, and school-age care.

We also offer after school care and a summer camp for children 5 to 12 years old.

We believe that it’s never too early to start learning, and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our center.

By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly.
