Explore + Discover is an innovative Early Learning Center for Infants & Toddlers. We provide an environment in which a highly professional staff ensure that children are able to thrive as confident, creative learners. We are committed to social learning and a responsive curriculum tailored to the mind’s eye of each child. Our model provides the basis for our child-emergent and arts-centric curriculum; each classroom is specifically geared to fuel the creative learning process for infants & toddlers. We provide care for children 3 months to 3 years old. The Explore + Discover approach focuses on professional staff, social learning, a beautiful facility and a vibrant parent community—the bedrock of a great experience for our youngest children. The foundation of our approach is respect. For inspiration we look to two distinct approaches to early childhood education and care: Magda Gerber’s Educaring approach (commonly known as the RIE approach) and the Reggio Emilia approach. RIE® (Resources for Infant Educarers) is a California based organization which promotes the work and thought of child expert Magda Gerber and her mentor, the Hungarian Pediatrician Emmi Pikler. Reggio Emilia is a town in Northern Italy renowned for high quality preschools and infant toddler centers.
