  • There are very few people outside of your own family that you trust with your children. The incredible teachers and staff at Little Explorers Learning Academy became those people for us, and for that, we'll always be grateful. Our daughter spent about a year at Little Explorers, and saying goodbye was far more emotional than we ever expected. Every single morning she woke up excited to go to school. She couldn't wait to see her teachers, her friends, and especially her best friend, Miss Lily. On her last day, she cried because she didn't want it to end, and as parents, that spoke louder than any review ever could. Over the past year, we've watched our daughter blossom. She grew academically, socially, and emotionally in ways that prepared her for kindergarten and gave her confidence that will stay with her for years to come. She didn't just learn her letters and numbers—she learned kindness, friendship, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. The teachers never made us feel like our daughter was just another student. They loved her, encouraged her, celebrated her victories, comforted her when she needed it, and treated her as if she were one of their own. That kind of care can't be taught—it comes from people who truly love what they do. Little Explorers also made us, as parents, feel included every step of the way. The family events throughout the year, the thoughtful holiday keepsakes, and the beautiful photo album they created for us at the end of the year are gifts that our family will treasure forever. Looking through that album reminds us of just how special this chapter of our daughter's life has been. We have an older daughter and have experienced other schools and preschools, so we don't make this comparison lightly. There simply is no comparison. Little Explorers has set the bar so high that I can't imagine a better place for a child's first educational experience. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to every teacher and staff member for loving our daughter, believing in her, helping her grow, and giving her a place where she felt safe, valued, and excited to learn every single day. If we are ever blessed with another child, there is no question where they'll go. Little Explorers will always be our first choice. If you're searching for a preschool where your child won't just be cared for, but truly loved like family, this is that place. We will always be thankful that our daughter started her educational journey here. Thank you for everything, the Barbato Family

  • We enrolled our oldest at 3 1/2 and from day one she absolutely loved it! Now she is more than ready to start kindergarten and our second kiddo is enrolled! The teachers are absolutely amazing and the curriculum leaves your little more than ready for kindergarten.

  • Lela has been such a blessing for our 3.5 yr old. She has learned so much since being here. All of the teachers really go above and beyond for my child and our family. My daughter has a medical condition and this school was the one that chose to take it on. Before we found Lela we were denied by a couple other places. They met with me multiple times so I could teach them how to take care of her. I can’t explain the feeling we have to be able to just drop her off at school and not have to worry about her. She is so well taken care of and loved. I am so so so grateful to all of you. Thank you for loving my child. We will miss all of you so much

  • Our youngest attends this school, so we have had a quite few experiences with daycares. This school has THE MOST compassionate and loving teachers on the planet. When we drop off and pick up our son, the teachers never seem burnt out or unhappy. Their energy is exactly what our kids need be around when they are away from their home and main safe place. They have such great routine here and are always doing hands on activities with the kids/keeping them busy. (Which is what my high energy boy needed!) This school deserves so much more than 5 star reviews and my hopes are they continue to choose such great humans to care for our children and never lose their spark! You are all appreciated so much and really are incomparable to the other daycares out there. Keep thriving!! xoxo-
