My son has been attending for one and half years. He has been happy. There have been few administration changes within that time. From all of the changes the most noticiable is now that Mrs. Garret is the director. She runs a tight ship and I appreciate that as a parent. My son loves going to school and seeing his friends everyday.

After moving from the East Coast, we spent months searching for the right childcare center for our two active toddler boys. We visited several places but nothing felt quite right until we discovered Lil Explorers. From day one, the staff understood our boys' energy levels and embraced their adventurous spirits rather than trying to contain them. The teachers are warm, patient, caring, and genuinely invested in each child's development. Our sons come home excited to tell us about their day, which speaks volumes about the positive environment they've created. The facility is clean, well-organized, and designed with active toddlers in mind. There's plenty of space for running around, engaging activities that keep busy minds occupied, and a structured routine that works perfectly for our family's needs. TLDR: Highly recommend for families with energetic toddlers who need a nurturing yet dynamic environment.

This school should just be called Lil' Explorers daycare. I supplemented learning at home because my baby loved her teacher Ms.Emily and Ms. Ashley. With admin changes the school that was hanging on by a thread, went even further downhill. My daughter was moved with a teacher who was never there, not the teacher's fault, but after losing her favorite teacher to a better organization, this administrative decision was not at all conducive to helping the children, nor my daughter, cope with the loss. This school claims to have graduated a lot of students but there is a mass exodus from this school! The reviews are true and the school won't inform you when such investigations are taking place even though they move students from class to class. Your child is just a number and a dollar.

This Preschool is AMAZING! Three of our four children have gone here and we could not ask for better service. My wife is a school teacher and has very high standards for child care and the curriculum offered and Lil Explorers has been able to impress her with their program. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a safe, reliable and knowledgeable daycare/preschool. Our kids love the teachers and atmosphere.
