Discovery Club

Discovery Club is a child care and enrichment program for working and busy parents who need assistance before and after school and throughout the summer months. The goal of Discovery Club is to provide children in transitional kindergarten through sixth grade with a physically and psychologically safe environment where they can grow developmentally and academically through fun and challenging enrichment activities.  The program also provides children with opportunities to learn social and life skills they can share with others. Discovery Club children learn about their world and participate in their community 12 months per year. During the school year, children complete community service projects that teach how they can contribute to their community. In the summer, children take many field trips learning what their community has to offer them. 

Discovery Club encourages ongoing communication between staff and families as an essential part of reinforcing the child’s feeling that Discovery Club is a connection between home and school.

If you have questions please email: Discoveryclubregdesk@sanjuan.edu.

TK and Kindergarten 2025-2026 Enrollment Information

We’re thrilled that you’re considering Discovery Club for your child’s care and enrichment needs! This is an exciting time for your family, and we’re here to guide you through the enrollment process. Below, you’ll find key dates and important details to help you navigate everything with confidence.

Key Dates and Enrollment Process

  • Open Enrollment Period:
    Applications for incoming TK and Kindergarten students are accepted from December 2, 2024, through March 2, 2025. All applications submitted during this period will be entered into a lottery on March 3, 2025, to determine waitlist placement.

  • Applications for incoming TK and Kindergarten students are accepted after the open enrollment period. Any applications submitted after March 2 will be placed on the waitlist in the order they are received, based on the date of submission.

  • Important Note: When completing the application, please select "TK or Kindergarten 2025-2026" as the Program. This selection indicates that your child will begin school in the fall. However, it still includes Before and Afterschool care, as well as summer care.

  • Enrollment Timing:

  • Mid-April 2025: Enrollment offers will begin going out via email. Be sure to check your email regularly for an offer to enroll your child.
  • If your child is offered a spot between April and June 12, 2025, they should plan to start within the first two weeks of summer break (June 12–26, 2025).
  • Offers made after June 12 require enrollment within two weeks of accepting the spot.

If you have questions after the lottery, call us at (916) 971-5976. We are happy to assist you!

Summer Enrollment Options

If you’re offered a spot but don’t plan to use our services during the summer, you have two options:

  1. Enroll with a 10-Hour Minimum Per Week:
    Secure your spot by enrolling and paying for a minimum of 10 hours per week during the summer.

  2. Pass Option:
    If you pass on summer enrollment, your child’s spot will move to the bottom of the waitlist. Discovery Club is a year-round program, so we don’t maintain a separate waitlist for the school year.

👉 If you’re considering the pass option, contact us to discuss how it may affect your child’s placement.

Class Capacity & K-Time Only Option

  • TK/Kindergarten Capacity:
    Each class can accommodate up to 10 TK and Kindergarten students. If a class is full, new spots will only open when a student in that age group leaves.

  • K-Time Only Option:
    For schools with short-day TK or Kindergarten, we may offer a limited K-Time Only care option. Availability will not be finalized until late July.

Contact us for more information about the K-Time Only option.
