My three-year-old has been at Early Explorers since August 2025, and after eight months I haven't found a reason to complain. He's happy to go each morning, he's made friends, and his speech and confidence have come a long way since he started. What stands out most is the teachers. The ratio is good, and you can tell they actually pay attention to the children. If my son shows up in a rough mood, they're quick to step in and help. At pick-up, they take the time to tell me how his day went, which goes a long way as a parent. The facility is clean and well-kept. I'd recommend it to any parent looking for dependable care for younger children.
Jonathan HendersonApr 10, 2026We love Early Explorers and have used them for childcare since 2022. Currently both my daughter and son attend, and the care they receive is top quality. The teachers treat your children like their own and truly love and care for them. This gives me such peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands. My daughter gets so excited to see her teachers and friends and she loves to play "daycare" at home with all her stuffies. They always have tons of activities for the kids and partner with you to help ensure there is unified approach in care/discipline with your individual child so that there is consistency between home and daycare.
Leah MarkowitzFeb 3, 2026As a parent, I can’t say enough good things about this daycare. We’ve had children in care here since May 2021, and the staff truly feels like family. They genuinely care about our girls, keep us updated, and are always willing to work with us as parents. Knowing our kids are loved and well cared for gives us such peace of mind. We’re so thankful for the care we’ve received and would absolutely recommend them.
Rachel OtisDec 30, 2025Our daughter attended for a period of time and it was a fine fit initially. Over time, we experienced ongoing challenges with classroom management and felt communication around certain incidents lacked collaboration. Ultimately, the parent-caregiver relationship deteriorated and we decided it was not the right long-term fit for our family. Other families may have a different experience
Tate RugensteinDec 15, 2025We brought our son to early explorers after having a difficult time with an in-home day care. We are so happy we did. The staff is caring, and responsive. The food that is served is “better” than we cook for him according to his advanced palate. Mrs Liz was the highlight - she was just the right kind of energy that our son needed. We’re off to kindergarten now but highly recommend early explorers
David CookeAug 14, 2025If you are considering daycare for your little one, early explorers is the way to go. I was very nervous about leaving my infant at daycare but the teachers in the infant room made the transition so easy for us. They are all loving, so kind and incredibly gifted with kids. They will even share photos or videos of your baby through the day! They do so many arts and crafts and activities, the kids get to learn so much. Get on their waitlist right away! Highly recommend early explorers 😊
