Our Featured Sponsor:

Over 25 Years of Excellence in Childcare: Discovery Point Child Development Centers. Our Valrico center is located at the corner of SR 60 and Mulrennan Road slightly behind the Dollar General Store. The center is locally owned and operated by Jerry & Loretta Ellison. Mrs. Ellison brings a strong background of child development to the center. “We want what you want for your children; only the best!” states Mrs. Ellison. For twenty-five years, parents have entrusted the growth and development of their precious children to Discovery Point Child Development Centers. At Discovery Point, your children will begin to discover the world around them and learn about themselves as well. Offering a warm safe learning environment and loving attention, we blend creative instruction with imaginative play. Chil-dren develop healthy friendships through supervised social interaction. Discovery Point's philosophy is based on the "three A's", Attention, Affection and Acceptance. According to Mrs Ellison, Discovery Point's three A's approach to childcare cultivates growth, independence and confidence and gives your child the freedom to learn and explore. Our center strives to create an environment that is just right for the children. Discovery Point’s low child to teacher ratios cultivate strong loving relationships. When children feel loved, they feel more free to

discover the world around them. Each and every child is an individual and will be treated as such. Parents rest assured that the safety, security and well-being of their children are Discovery Point’s and Mrs. Ellison’s top priority as well as the safety, health, nutrition and education of each child in our care. Because the curriculum is centered on learning as fun, Discovery Point is also a big hit with the kids! Discovery Point in Valrico is enrolling children from 6 weeks to 12 years of age and is open from 6:30am to 6:30pm. Classes for the 2013 VPK program are filling up quickly but there are a limited number of spaces available. Discovery Point has a very exciting summer program as well. We have field trips planned through-out the summer to places like Lowry Park Zoo, Mosi, the Florida Aquarium and much more. Mrs. Ellison invites and encourages all parents to visit and tour the center at 3472 Kings Commercial Court in Valrico. You can also call 813-661-3517 or log on to www.discoverypoint.com.

Children's Focus for Fall is Duck Kingdom!Weekly Themes:

Ugly Ducklings: God loves everyone. He loves us because of who we are on the inside, not what we look like.

We should love everyone, even if they lookdifferent than we do.

Quack Quack: Do we use our mouths to say nice things or mean things. God tells us to build each other up, not

hurt each other with unkind words.Funny Feathers: Ducks have to have the right feathers to

protect themselves from the cold water. Are you letting Jesus protect your heart?

Walk Like a Duck: Action speak louder than words. Jesus told us that people would know we loved Jesus, by the

way we love other people.

(No scarycostumes please.)
