Experience our Unique Philosophy
At Little Explorers preschool in Riverside, we strongly believe in the power of imagination and discovery in optimizing the early childhood learning experience. This poem by the founder of the Reggio-Emilia approach beautifully conveys the important roles imagination and discovery play in early childhood learning. Play Based Early Childhood Education focuses on protecting children from becoming subjected too early to institutionalized doctrines which often make learning a chore rather than an extension of natural curiosity.
"The child is made of one hundred.
The child has
a hundred languages
a hundred hands
a hundred thoughts
a hundred ways of thinking
of playing, of speaking.
A hundred.
Always a hundred
ways of listening
of marveling, of loving
a hundred joys
for singing and understanding
a hundred worlds
to discover
a hundred worlds
to invent
a hundred worlds
to dream...."
The Little Explorers Preschool Difference

We are a Locally Owned and family operated child care facility. Unlike corporate daycares, we add a personal touch to your child’s care when you become a part of our preschool family.
Our owners of Little Explorers have young children of their own from age toddler to elementary grade school. They understand the challenges parents face in providing the best learning environment during the early childhood years and are dedicated in offering a high quality preschool program.
We have developed an enrichment program that will enhance learning in areas that include music, dance, art and language immersion.
Safety is one of our highest priorities. We have security technology to enter our facility and security cameras and alarms systems in place. Every employer at the preschool is also trained in child safety and CPR.
Little Explorers offers parent education evenings and other community events throughout the year so that parents are fully engaged in the development and intellectual progression of their child.
