A Place to Grow at Every Stage
Every stage of childhood brings new discoveries, challenges, relationships, and opportunities for growth.
At Explore More Early Learning Center, our programs are designed around the developmental needs of the children in them while sharing the same philosophy throughout our entire center:
Relationships first. Learning through play. Respect for childhood.
From a baby’s first discoveries to a school age child’s growing independence, our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, trying new things, building relationships, and exploring the world around them.
Infants
A Safe Beginning Built on Relationships
Our infant program provides responsive, nurturing care built around each baby’s individual needs, development, and routine.
Babies are given opportunities to move, explore, interact, communicate, and experience their environment while developing secure relationships with the adults caring for them.
Toddlers
Built for Busy Bodies and Curious Minds
Toddlers are constantly moving, experimenting, communicating, and discovering just how much they can do.
Our toddler program provides opportunities for movement, sensory experiences, hands on exploration, growing independence, communication, and play with trusted adults nearby to help navigate all of those very big toddler feelings.
Preschool
Learning Through Meaningful Play
Our preschool program supports children’s growing independence, relationships, communication, creativity, problem solving, and academic foundations through meaningful play and exploration.
Rather than replacing childhood with formal academics, we create environments where literacy, mathematics, science, social emotional development, and other important skills naturally become part of children’s everyday experiences.
Before & After School
A Place to Be a Kid Outside of School
School age children already spend a significant portion of their day meeting the expectations of school.
Our before and after school program gives children a safe place to relax, connect with friends, create, move, explore their interests, and simply enjoy being kids outside of the school day.
Different Ages. One Philosophy.
Our classrooms may look different because the needs of an infant are very different from those of a preschooler or school age child. What doesn’t change is how we view children. Across every age group, we believe children deserve:
Safe, responsive relationships.
Opportunities to make choices.
Time and space for meaningful play.
Developmentally appropriate expectations.
Opportunities for movement and outdoor experiences.
Support while learning to navigate emotions and relationships.
Adults who recognize and respect them as individuals.
Plenty of opportunities to wonder, experiment, get messy, make mistakes, try again, and discover something new.
