  My family has had such a wonderful experience at Explora Learning Center. From the very beginning, it has been clear how much attention to detail goes into everything they do. The activities are thoughtfully planned, engaging, and truly designed to support the children’s growth and development. My son is constantly learning new things and coming home excited to share what he’s experienced. The school is beautiful and always clean. The meals and snacks provided are also excellent. It gives me peace of mind knowing that he is being served nutritious, well-prepared food each day. What stands out most is how much the staff genuinely care about the children. They communicate clearly and consistently, always keeping families informed and involved. The team is continually looking for new ways to keep the children learning, exploring, and gaining new experiences while making sure parents feel connected to what’s happening in the classroom. My son has been attending since September of 2024 and has, for the most part, had the same teachers. At previous schools, we experienced frequent changes in teachers and directors multiple times a year, which created inconsistency and made it difficult for the children to feel secure and comfortable. That has not been the case here. The stability, warmth, and friendliness of the staff at Explora have made such a difference for our family. I am truly grateful for the caring, consistent, and dedicated team at Explora Learning Center. It has been a positive and reassuring experience, and I highly recommend them to any family looking for quality childcare.

  Our Baby Girl started going to Explora Learning Center at the age of 3 months. She is now 10 months and she has made so much progress. She loves going to the Daycare, always has a smile when we bring her in the morning. She interacts with other babies, builds friendships, learns social skills, engages in arts and crafts. Morning classes and circle time by Ms. Norma and Ms. Dayana are invaluable and most educational and engaging. Our Baby goes for walks in the park and entertains at the playground. She is fed fresh home made meals, this introduces her to a variety of fruits, vegetables and grains. She is loving the regiment and becoming more structured. We are beyond happy to see our Baby develop and become more confident. We would like to extend Appreciation to the wonderful team of Teachers: Ms. Thelma, Ms. Norma, Ms. Dayana, Ms. Delena, Ms. Hilary, Ms. Daisy. They contribute their warmth, knowledge and care to help babies grow and succeed. We receive daily reports with photos and videos. At the end of the day, we get to bring home baby drawings that we add to the scrapbook. The rooms are spacious and super clean. Our Baby thoroughly enjoys her experiences at Explora Learning Center!

  Explora is wonderful! Our daughter has been with Thelma and her excellent team for almost 3 years, since she was an infant. We're thrilled with the new learning center. The staff is very warm and caring, and the facilities are inviting and clean. They engage the children in a range of activities each day, including storytime, music, arts and crafts, and gross motor skill play. Our daughter is learning so much and she loves going everyday. We're so happy we found Explora!

  We have had all four of our children at Explora. We began our first and second at 2 years and 6 months, and they attended until four years old. We’ve had our third and fourth children in from small toddlers to now. We just adore Thelma and the caregivers at Explora. They truly care about the children and our kids have grown attached to them and have lots of happy memories here over the years. The new facility is clean with top notch quality play areas. The food is nutritious and prepared on site. We can’t say enough good things about this place — we’ve never and would never have our kids anywhere else.
