  • The staff is very friendly, the teachers are really nice, and the facility is always clean. Our kid seems to learn a lot while he's there and is always excited to go. Cait, the school director, is awesome too!

  • Lil' Explorers is a fantastic daycare! Our kids love going there and we are greatful that many of the teachers clearly care about them and put lots of effort into making sure they have fun and stay safe.

  • The teachers and staff care deeply for the children. The dress up days and events create a great sense of community!

  • We’ve had a great experience at Lil Explorers Prior Lake! My oldest completed their Pre-K program last year and was very well prepared for kindergarten. He actually started at LE when he was just a toddler, which makes it even more special. Their Pre-K graduation is such a meaningful and memorable event for the kids, families, and teachers, along with the many other events they host throughout the year. The teachers (from Infant through Pre-K) are caring, supportive, and are just overall amazing. We are so grateful to have been part of this community for the past several years!

  • I have sent my son to Lil explorers for a year now, and he has thrived there ever since starting! The staff is truly patient, understanding, and cares about the children. They treat the kids like their own! I would recommend Lil Explorers to anyone that asks for a high quality, clean, and professional childcare.

  • We’ve been with Little Explorers from 2023 to now, and after touring just about every daycare in town, I can confidently say this was the best decision for our family. The staffing consistency is incredible—our infant room had the same caring teachers for both of our children, two years apart, which gave us so much trust and peace of mind. We always felt our kids were safe, happy, and genuinely cared for, with consistent updates along the way. Our daughter has a diary allergy requiring e-pen and they were very skilled at managing her meals to ensure she was safe. As our daughter grew, the team was very in tune with her individual development, helping her learn everything from numbers and colors to kindness and confidence. We’re so grateful for the impact they’ve had on her and would highly recommend Little Explorers to anyone looking for exceptional toddler enrichment and infant care.
