Gentex Discovery Preschool was created through a unique partnership between the ODC Network and Gentex Corporation to provide employees with access to top-tier, nature-based early childhood education. Guided by our mission to advance outdoor education and conservation in West Michigan, this center was intentionally designed to bring ODC’s beloved Early Childhood nature-based programming directly to the Gentex community.

This site serves children from six weeks to Kindergarten entry in a full-time, year-round model that supports families’ work schedules while maintaining the warmth, quality, and mission-aligned approach that define all ODC programs. Children spend their days immersed in hands-on learning outdoors, exploring purpose-built playscapes, and engaging with natural environments that promote curiosity, discovery, and connection.

Gentex Discovery Preschool represents a forward-thinking investment in both families and the broader community—ensuring children receive a high-quality, nature-rich early learning experience while supporting parents in the workplace.
