With about 2 teachers, Home of the Innocents Discovery has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The **Home of the Innocents Discovery** is a specialized early childhood education and development program located on the campus of the Home of the Innocents in Louisville, Kentucky. Unlike a traditional preschool, Discovery is a state-licensed child development center that intentionally integrates children of all abilities, including those with special medical or developmental needs, into a inclusive learning environment. The program is designed to provide high-quality early education while ensuring that children requiring specialized support can thrive alongside their typically developing peers.

The center is highly regarded for its commitment to a "whole-child" approach, utilizing small class sizes and a supportive atmosphere to foster social, emotional, and cognitive growth. Because it operates under the umbrella of the Home of the Innocents—a long-standing organization dedicated to the care of vulnerable children—the Discovery program benefits from a unique clinical and therapeutic foundation. This environment allows families to access a blend of academic preparation and professional support services, making it a vital resource for parents seeking an inclusive, nurturing, and developmentally rich start for their children in the Louisville area.
