- I love the teachers and staff at discovery key. They are dedicated, caring and they take the time to spend with the children. My daughter has a head trauma when in second grade her teacher Ms. Soloway noticed her problems right-a-way. Then together with the help of the school and staff members they cared enough to get her on the right learning level that will help her succeed for the rest of her life. NOW they took the time to care! Thanks, Deanna
