Parent Reviews
We are so happy with what Little Explorers has had to offer our little one. In the year he has been with Ms Yasmin, he has grown so much, gotten braver by the day and has really come out of his shell. Yasmin has allowed for adventurous playtime always attached to a lesson. I’m constantly amazed to see my little kiddo saying new phrases, singing new songs and putting information together in surprising new ways. Would definitely bring any siblings here in the future
We have had an amazing experience at Little Explorers. From the very beginning, Yasmin has been incredibly caring, welcoming, and attentive. This is the first daycare my child has been to and it’s been such a relief knowing that my child is in a safe, nurturing, and happy environment each day. Yasmin genuinely cares about the children and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved, and comfortable. We’ve also noticed so much growth in our child’s confidence, social skills, and learning since starting here. Her daycare is completely screen free and she does a lot of hands on activities. Her communication with parents is excellent, and we always feel informed and included. I would highly recommend her to any parent! 10/10
Little Explorers has been such a special place for our family. My son is now 2½ and has been attending since he was 17 months old. He genuinely loves going every day, and I know that is because of the care Ms. Yasmin gives him and the fun environment she creates for all the children. The kids are always doing something engaging—they learn, play, bake, create art, wash cars in the summer, enjoy water play, get muddy and take part in so many creative projects. My son has grown and developed so much during his time there. He has also formed special bonds that he talks about very proudly. This isn’t our first experience with Little Explorers. Our oldest daughter, who is now six, also attended. She started at 16 months and stayed for two years. As first-time parents, those two years felt so much more peaceful because we knew she was safe, happy and genuinely cared for. Ms. Yasmin creates a very special bond with each child and gets to know them on a deeper level. Her passion for childcare is clear in the thoughtful program she has built. She is kind, caring and very easy to work with. We feel incredibly fortunate that both of our children have had the opportunity to be part of Little Explorers.
I can’t recommend Yasmin enough! She has been caring for my kids for the past 4 years, and she is incredibly patient, creative, and hands-on. The kids are always busy with crafts, songs, outdoor and water play, cooking, baking, games, and independent learning. She is screen-free, provides healthy home-cooked meals, and gives the kids so many opportunities to build real-life skills, independence, and social skills. She is also fluent in English, Urdu, and Punjabi, which has been such a wonderful bonus for our family. What I love most is how much freedom she gives the kids to explore, get messy, use their imagination, and learn through real experiences. My boys have grown so much socially, emotionally, and in their motor skills because of the environment she creates. She even has baby chickens that the kids love interacting with! I couldn’t ask for anyone I trust more to care for and nurture my children during such important years. I would recommend her to anyone, 10/10!
We've been so lucky to have Yasmin and her daycare for our two boys. They come home happy every day full of stories, covered in non-toxic paint from whatever craft they made, and picking up little social skills we didn't even realize they were learning. Yasmin is warm, patient, and clearly genuinely loves what she does. Our kids adore her. If you're looking for a place where your child will be cared for like family, this is it. Highly recommend!
