Our Team.
At Explore and Discover, our team is made up of caring and knowledgeable educators with deep roots in early childhood education and hands-on experience in the field. Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we view children as capable, curious individuals and honor their development through responsive, relationship-based care. We provide our teachers with meaningful professional development each year to support reflective practice and maintain program excellence.

What it means to be a Continuity of Care Teacher...
A cornerstone of our philosophy is Continuity of Care—an intentional structure in which children remain with the same teaching team for multiple years. Our educators move with their caregiving groups as children grow, ideally from infancy (as early as 3 months) through age 3. This model honors the deep bonds that form between children, teachers, and families, and allows for trust and connection to flourish over time. These strong relationships provide a foundation for social-emotional growth, secure attachment, and successful transitions into kindergarten.
As educators, we often become like co-parents—deeply attuned to each child’s rhythms, routines, and developmental milestones. We partner with families through meaningful transitions such as starting solids, learning to walk, potty training, and preparing for preschool and kindergarten. With this collaborative approach, we ensure that every child is supported in both home and school life, setting them up for success in their next chapter.
