What is Explorers?
Explorers offers school aged childcare for children in grades K-5 and Junior Explorers offers preschool childcare for children ages 3-5. School-aged Explorers is offered before and after school and on non-school days. Junior Explorers offers all day care from 6:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

During the summer, childcare is offered for children 33 months through incoming 5th grade.  We support families and help children develop to their full potential socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.


Our Objectives
  • Offer a safe environment where children are encouraged to pursue their own interests, develop friendships, and grow in confidence, independence and respect for themselves and others.
  • Provide opportunity for children to build positive and enriching relationships with trusted adults.
  • Create opportunities for children to learn and explore through play.
