I have used this provider for more than 6 months

Horrible communication, and directors dont seem to know what they are doing. Teachers are more professional.

One of the worst day care centers I visited and my kid went to. All they care about the pay check. they do not care about whether your child is sick or health all they want is your money. Be cautious with this day care.

About the Provider

Advertisement
At Early Explorers Academy, we believe that the first 5 years of a child’s life are critical to creating a lifelong passion for learning. We embrace each child as an individual and celebrate their unique strengths and opportunities for growth. We are passionate about allowing children the opportunity to explore and master their environment.

Our classes provide for a significant amount of one on one interaction and small group activities, allowing us to adapt an individual learning plan for each student. We also recognize that a strong parent/teacher communication is ideal to help each child develop to their full potential.

We encourage each child to explore their environment and challenge them to try new activities daily. Our unique Exploration Center allows our students to exercise, conduct science experiments and create their own learning environment. Each class (ages 2+) get time within the Exploration Center daily in addition to their normal classroom curriculum activities.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
