Ascend Curriculum Logo

Thanks to the flexibility of our Ascend Curriculum, we take an individualized approach to early childhood education and encourage every child to progress towards age-appropriate goals at their natural pace. New skills are introduced sequentially in 9 different learning domains each month and activities are modified to fit the interests and current skill level of each child. This skill-based approach to early education ensures that every child feels engaged, supported, and challenged and makes learning fun!

Kind Child Logo

Another significant part of our curriculum is our Kind Child program. Kind Child is a year-long program for children ages two and older that helps our teachers nurture and strengthen every child’s social and emotional skills. We have found that when we focus on the emotional well-being of each child in our care, we strengthen our school as well. We are confident that Kind Child will continue to strengthen the culture of our entire preschool center by elevating every child’s feelings of happiness, improving their well-being, and enriching their friendships.

It’s affordable and my kids seem really happy there. Both my daughters were prepared for kindergarten and they’ve made some long lasting relationships with the kids that went there with them.

Since day one in the infant room we have nothing but a great experience at lil explorers in Roger’s! We have always felt so comfortable leaving our child in the care of the amazing teachers and staff. The communication has always been great, and we love seeing all the fun activities, learning opportunities, and special moments throughout the week. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

We have enjoyed our experience at this daycare. The facility is wonderful, with playgrounds that grow and change appropriately with each child’s age, a gym for extra movement and activity, and fun events that the kids truly enjoy. The teachers are kind, caring, and attentive, and both of my children have loved their time here.
