preschool
At Little Explorers we spend our days learning and making discoveries through play, art, music, science, nature and much more. Our ability to engage children using positive reinforcement and encouragement provides the opportunity to learn and make new connections. Every day we provide a different enrichment for our students to explore. Our staff at Little Explorers seeks to honor each child as an individual and celebrate their creative and unique learning styles. It is our mission at Little Explorers to give children the tools to become independent, empowered and caring individuals, while fostering a love of learning. Enrollment information can be found here.
