We prepare them for elementary school classes by offering extended-day class options. Our program follows the Ascend Curriculum to promote social and emotional development among children.

The Ascend Curriculum

Ascend Curriculum LogoWe believe that every student is a unique individual who deserves to be treated with respect. The flexibility built into our Ascend Curriculum allows us to create individualized learning experiences for each child and our teachers focus on developing new skills in subjects such as Literacy and Communication, Baby Signs, Spanish, Art, Science & Sensory, and Technology every month. Our teachers create a caring community in the classroom where children are encouraged to interact with their peers and learn new skills.

Kind Child

We nurture friendships, cultivate positive character traits, and strengthen social skills through our Kind Child culture. Kind Child is an integral part of our Ascend Curriculum and we focus on social and emotional skills every month and the development of a new character trait such as Friendship, Empathy, and a Positive Self-Image every two months. The result is a positive and supportive preschool environment where every child feels welcome.

This is extremely important in preparation for life in elementary school. Teaching children in our care to be compassionate, confident, and kind ensures they are prepared to thrive in their future classrooms.

Assistant Director

I first started with Lil Explorers team back in May 2019 as a Toddler Aide and I knew right away this is something I was going to love and decided to pursue my CDA to become a lead teacher, shortly after starting my CDA I transitioned into assistant toddler teacher role. I enjoyed my time doing that and was excited for my opportunity to become a Lead Teacher, In August 2020 I had the amazing opportunity to become a Preschool 1 Teacher, I have been the Pre1 lead ever since and have absolutely loved every minute of it. In April of 2023, I got the opportunity to expand my horizons once again to become Rogers Assistant Director. In 2018 I moved to Minnesota from Texas and married my amazing husband. We are big time outdoors people, we love to Mountain bike, snowboard, kayak, being on our boat, or just hang by the fire! I am so excited to get to know everyone here at Rogers!

We moved our child to this daycare shortly after it opened and we've had nothing but positive experiences. The communication is always excellent. The leadership, teachers and staff have all been very friendly and helpful. I love that you get to see pictures and updates of your child's day. My son is learning a lot and always comes home talking about the fun he had with his friends and teachers.

I have visited my Granddaughter there for special events, and the staff is very friendly and engaging. My Granddaughter seems to feel comfortable with the staff and all seem like they're happy to be there, and love their jobs. I love that they make everything fun, and keep the kids engaged and busy. I would definitely recommend this center to any of my family or friends. Keep up the good work teachers, you're doing an amazing job!

Having granddaughters in 2 different locations, I've visited both as well as many daycares in my many years. By far, this Ramsey location is what I consider to be beyond any expectation I can imagine. Organized, clean, and friendly. Upon every visit, I'm asked to present my identification. (I've been to another location that neglected to do so twice). Safe, organized, and always a positive environment!
