About Little Explorers
For over 15 years, we've been nurturing young minds and creating a foundation for lifelong learning through play, exploration, and discovery.
Our Story
Little Explorers Daycare was founded in 2010 by early childhood educator Maria Thompson, who envisioned a place where children could learn through play in a nurturing, home-like environment.
What started as a small center with just 15 children has grown into a thriving community serving over 200 families across multiple locations. Our success is built on our unwavering commitment to quality care and education.
Today, we continue to innovate and evolve our programs while staying true to our core values: nurturing each child's unique potential, fostering curiosity, and building strong partnerships with families.
