Parent Reviews
We have had the pleasure of sending both of our children to Little Explorers. Not only do the kids love going, but they have grown so much in so many ways. From the social interaction to the educational lessons taught in fun, kid-friendly ways, Aarin and her team are focused on helping each child to grow in a way that is tailored to their needs and in ways they will enjoy. They make learning fun, as it should be. We also love how much time the kids spend outdoors in all sorts of weather. They also do a wonderful job of providing a daily update to each parent with photos. We could not recommend Little Explorers more!
I cannot say enough good things about this program. My daughter was previously enrolled in a private PreK program, and since transferring to Little Explorers she is THRIVING. I am floored everyday with her expanded knowledge, social awareness, and joy!! She bounds up to me daily bursting with energy and excitement! The expertise and care of the faculty, Aarin and Sheyanne in particular, are incomparable. This isn't just a job for them, it's a calling. I love that my girl spends so much time outside, and I love getting daily reports on what she is learning. Most importantly- my daughter is HAPPY. Yes, she is learning to read. Yes, she is counting and can tell you all about volcanoes and octopi now.... but what really matters is that she feels seen, heard, and valued. Thank you LE!
Literally the best school. The teachers are amazing, we had experienced ZERO turnover, which is unheard of. Just a warm, loving environment for your kiddo, they learn so much through play, the owners/teachers and other parents become your community. We still see them regularly even though our kid changed school because we moved far away.
Our daughter started at Little Explores when she was 18 months old and stayed for over two years. During this time, she grew and developed so much, surrounded by love, care, and encouragement from the teachers. We are a vegan family, and the school was always thoughtful and accommodating, making sure she had great options. We are deeply grateful for everything the school has done for our daughter and our family. Highly recommend!
