About the Provider

Description:

Welcome to my childcare program. I enjoy being around and have a passion for all children. My goal for Curious Little Explorers (CLE) is to provide a home away from home for all children within my care. I will provide a positive and healthy environment for children to grow. One of my beliefs is that all children need guidance, structure, boundaries, discipline and love in order to grow into responsible individuals. I look forward in working with you and your child.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Our daughter started daycare at Curious Little Explorers at 6 months old. She is now 5 years old (and along with her 3 year old brother), continues to get excited about going to daycare there. Ms. Whitney has a caring mindset and really gets to know each kid. Ms. Whitney really makes an effort to engage our kids and help their development in a very individualized way. She is committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment and we’re very thankful to her and her daycare.

We are more than pleased at the level of my child's care at Curious Little Explorers. It is a fun and positive environment for children to grow! We appreciate the variety of educational toys available and the effective curriculum used. Our daughter has grown by leaps and bounds! Also, we value that the provider gives updates of our daughter's progress throughout the day, and even pictures if we want!:) We are confident that the provider loves what she does and is easy to communicate with about our child's needs. We wouldn't want our daughter to go anywhere else but Curious Little Explorers!!
