Welcome to young explorers school
The Young Explorers School is a neighborhood childcare center providing quality childcare experiences in a safe and nurturing environment where skilled, caring and knowledgeable staff build and sustain positive relationships with children and families to facilitate the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth of the children in our care. We serve children birth to 12 years and have classrooms for infants, toddlers, pre-school, pre-kindergarten and school-age children.
what we do
The vision for the Young Explorers School is that parents and/or guardians know that they made the right choice in picking the Young Explorers School because the children are safe, cared for, and have many opportunities to Learn Through Play. Our curriculum provides age-appropriate, research-based activities and materials for all our children. Our hope is that the children we serve today will look back at their memories and experiences at the Young Explorers School and see them as a cherished part of their childhood.

Testimonials

The Young Explorers School has been our choice for infant, toddler, and school age care for the last 5 years. We highly recommend them. The team is caring and experienced. Communication is excellent and the owner/director is practical, engaged, responsive, and forward-thinking. The meals are made on- site with fresh ingredients by folks that know and love the kids. It is a joy to partner with the Young Explorers in raising our children.

The Young Explorers School is an amazing center. The owner and staff are friendly caring people and take great care of the kids. The center is clean and organized. They are great at communicating with you about your little one. The Young Explorers School is a place where your child can go to learn, have fun, grow, and play with their peers. My son has been attending for 4 years and he loves his teachers and all the activities they do. You will feel comfortable and secure knowing how well your child is cared for. I am thankful for everything they do for my son.
