Where smiles
begin.
Julianne Mata has served as the Director of Discovery Emporium since 2009 and has worked in the child care industry since 1998. Over the past 16 years, she has taught every age group, gaining valuable experience and building lasting connections with children and families.
Discovery Emporium is truly a second home for Julianne and her family, her three children and now her grandchildren have all attended the school. This personal connection fuels her passion for the family-centered atmosphere that defines Discovery Emporium. She leads with the belief that every child should be cared for as if they were her own, embodying the spirit of the Discovery Emporium Family.
What makes Discovery Emporium truly special is the way teachers, children, and families come together to create a community filled with love, learning, and joy. More than just a school, it is a place where imaginations are sparked, lifelong friendships are built, and every child is celebrated for the unique individual they are.

We love Discovery!!!! My oldest (now 11) started his childhood at 1.5. He is still in touch with a few of his friends but from potty training to learning Spanish he had a blast! They offered a fun and positive learning environment!

The small class sizes make such a difference. Our son gets the attention he needs, and we’ve seen his confidence grow so much this year.

My child not only learned her ABCs and numbers, but also how to be kind, share, and work with others. The values taught here will stay with her forever.
