Meet the Director Behind A World of Discovery

Hello! My name is Leslie Novoa, and I am the proud Director and Owner of A World of Discovery Academy in Plantation, Florida.

With over 30 years dedicated to early childhood education, my journey has been a fulfilling ascent from assistant teacher to head teacher, director, and now, the owner and director of this beloved school.

My passion stems from a core belief: every child deserves a safe and enriching educational environment where they can truly learn and flourish. We strive every day to cultivate a joyful and nurturing atmosphere where curiosity is celebrated and every child feels empowered to explore and grow. At A World of Discovery, we are deeply committed to providing a lasting and impactful education for every child who walks through our doors, fostering their unique talents, and building a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning. We truly believe we are your child's second home, and we are dedicated to partnering with families to support each child's holistic development.

"The most important period of life is not the age of university studies,

but the first one, the period from birth to the age of six.

For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement, is being formed."
