Vicki Anderson G, Daughter Audrey, 5 years old

They are so unbelievably caring; they set expectations for the children that the children strive to reach. Audrey has blossomed over the past 4 years that she has been at your center. We are forever grateful for the assistance in building Audrey’s foundation, they had such a positive influence on us all. Audrey was thrilled to go to school every day, not one day did she ever say I do not want to go.

“

Ms. Amy Gentile, Daughter Paige, 2 years old

The teachers and the facilities are outstanding. One of the things that she loves most is playing in the gym and sliding down the large spiral slide. She learns so much and that she gets to interact with children her own age. We also almost didn’t look at Young Explorers because we assumed we couldn’t afford it, but we are so glad we decided to!

“

Colleen D., Daughter Hailey, 2 years old

Since being with Young Explorers the kids have flourished socially, academically and creatively! The family atmosphere that YE provides makes it so easy to drop the kids off. They (as well as I) have formed some great relationships with the teachers, kids and other Young Explorer’s families that I know will continue well beyond our years here!

“

Megan H., Daughter Elise, 2 year old

Thank you for making my daughter’s transition to school a smooth one. [Young Explorers] has been exceptionally welcoming and flexible. I feel assured that my daughter is safe and well cared for during the day. I’m excited to see how she will blossom this school year.
