Discovery Zone

 




Welcome to Discovery Zone!

Discovery Zone is Orchard Farm School District’s before and after care program, designed for elementary students in grades K-4. The program provides a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where students can learn, play, and thrive before and after the school day while their parent/guardian works. 

Discovery Zone is committed to providing high-quality before and after care for OFSD families. The program strives to maintain a safe, well-staffed environment while efficiently filling available program spots. 

Program spots are limited — early registration, before summer break, is strongly encouraged. Submitting a registration does not guarantee a spot in the program. Families will be notified and added to a waitlist if the program is full.
