  • I highly recommend MiniExplores Daycare! My 9-month-old goes there and is so well cared for. The place is clean, they follow naps well, and everything runs smoothly. They have a separate infant room, go to the park daily, and do lots of fun activities. Communication is excellent and I receive pictures through the app every day, which I love. The energy is great and I feel very comfortable leaving my little one there. We’re very happy with it!

  • Krisha is wonderful with children; I hadn't found a place to look after my kids where I could feel at ease knowing they were in good hands. They learn something new every day—she teaches them English and Spanish, educates them, and treats them well. They eat healthy meals, play, go to the park, take naps, and socialize with others—in short, I love it. I 100% recommend her to parents who want their children well cared for so they can work with peace of mind.

  • Our family has been with Krisha&her team for four years now, and both of our daughters have absolutely thrived here. The day care staff provide a safe, loving, and educational environment that gives us complete peace of mind. We couldn't be more grateful for the care and dedication they show every day.

  • Wonderful, warm and welcoming team. They provide expert care to my baby and I trust them completely. They are great communicators and the children are provided with enriching and age appropriate activities. Lots of outdoor time too. We have been to other day cares and this one is by far the best. Thank you, Mini Explorers!

  • Our 9 month old son is very happy and well-cared for at Mini Explorers. The teachers are amazing- caring and communicative. They go above and beyond with supporting him in a variety of ways including eating new foods and engaging in art and sensory projects. So many of our neighbors also go to this daycare and we value that community feel. We highly recommend Mini Explorers, kudos to Krisha and the team!

  • Krisha and the caretakers at Mini Explorers have been wonderful! They’re very communicative, and our son loves spending time with them and the other kids. We get timely updates via Brightwheel, and plenty of photos to see how our son is doing.
