My kid went here for two weeks. He had some issues transitioning. The real issue, though, was that he attended the second week for literally 3 hours and we were charged for the whole week. Mind you, we kept him home because he became ill after contracting RSV at this daycare.
And you’re thinking, that could happen at any daycare. Sure, but this one does not require masks for children and the staff person I spoke to felt perfectly fine unmasking herself to speak with us.
All in all, this place is trash. We couldn’t get our kid out of there quick enough.

I don’t even know where to begin to describe my love and the absolute trust I have for the entire staff at Little Explorers. My girls, who are now eight and seven, are alumni’s who started at LE when they were four and three. When I went for my tour prior to enrolling them, I met with the owner Katie and I felt such a sense of comfort trust that I hadn’t felt at any other center that I toured. My girls absolutely thrived during their time there. They were both extremely prepared for kindergarten (knowing their letters, numbers, and starting basic reading skills etc). The core staff that has

My son has been attending Little Explorers since he was 2 and loves it! He looks forward to learning and playing with his friends. The staff is very friendly and warm towards the children. The kids get a ton of outdoor time which is so important. The center has taken all necessary covid protocols and have kept the children safe the entire time. The director is engaging and kind. I highly recommend this center.

We just moved to New Jersey and were looking for a new daycare for our daughter. They came highly recommended and are completely different than the big name daycares that were in my old town. We are getting lower ratios, better education, and a more family oriented school for basically that same we were paying before. It's great!

Our daughter is so happy at L.E.! She is learning so much and making a ton of friends. Her teachers are extremely caring and knowledgeable. We just love Ms. Karen & Ms. Carmella, as well as all of the other teachers and staff at L.E.! As a teacher myself, I can tell that Ms. Katie has worked hard to put together a meaningful, research-based, and current early childhood curriculum. It's good to know that our daughter is in good hands all day while mommy & daddy are at work. :)

I would recommend this daycare to anybody looking in the West Orange or Livingston area. We tried a different daycare before enrolling our child here and felt that she was not getting enough one-on-one time with the teachers. We could not be more happy with our choice, everybody at Little Explorers shows so much passion for helping our little one.
