Health and Safety
When you walk into Little Explorers Academy, you notice the signs of a safe, nurturing environment: the smiling faces of the other families, the excited chatter of children eager to learn and the cheery voices of the daycare teachers as they welcome your child. It is the perfect atmosphere for learning because it encourages your child to explore and discover his or her interests while building friendships that can last a lifetime.
Safety is our Top Priority
Nothing is more important than the health and safety of the children, and we consider their security in everything we do. From every detail of our classrooms and playgrounds, including our high standards of cleanliness and our state-of-the-art equipment for secure entry, we’ve tried to think of everything to keep your child safe and secure. We even offer double door security and double signing-in and out.
Highly trained standards representatives visit this School twice a year to assess its compliance with Little Explorers Academy health and safety standards. They also provide guidance to help the School continually improve for the children and their families, ensuring the highest-quality childcare facility and daycare program.
Measures of Quality
- WE PREPARE CHILDREN FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND: We provide a safe, nurturing learning environment and ensure that children have the freedom to explore and discover their passions and interests. This style of teaching encourages children to be curious about the world and seek out information, which can help them in the preschool classroom and in life. Our unique learning program also helps children learn to communicate, collaborate and think critically and creatively. These essential skills empower children to become better learners and problem solvers, making them school ready, career ready and life ready.
- ACCREDITATIONS/PROVEN TO EXCEED EXPECTATIONS: Our daycare programs help children become happy, enthusiastic, lifelong learners while preparing them for the local school system. Each School adopts and adheres to the early learning standards established by its state and local district, which facilitates a smooth transition to elementary school.
- QUALITY ASSURANCE: Every state has a licensing agency that oversees state childcare licensing requirements, including health and safety items. Additionally, each School is also obligated to meet system-wide Little Explorers Academy health and safety standards, which may exceed state requirements. Multiples times each year, the standards team makes unannounced visits to Little Explorers Academy to monitor compliance with Little Explorers Academy health and safety requirements.
- PREPARING FOR 21ST CENTURY LEARNING: Our focus for 21st Century Skills (P21) puts Little Explorers Academy in the middle of a conversation that focuses on the skills our children will need in the future. P21’s mission is to serve as a catalyst for 21st century learning to build collaborative partnerships among education, business, community and government leaders so that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in a world where change is constant and learning never stops. P21 emphasizes the importance of life and career skills; learning and innovation skills; information, media and technology skills; core subject material; and 21st century themes, such as global awareness and financial, civic, health and environmental literacy. P21 has bestowed exemplar status on Little Explorers Academy with exceptional 21st century learning practices.
