If we could give more than five stars, we would! Active Explorers is an amazing preschool — we've sent two of our kids here and plan to send our third as well. The gymnastics program is such a fun and beneficial way for the kids to build strength, coordination, and confidence. But what truly sets Active Explorers apart are the incredible teachers. They make every child feel special while also helping them learn and become more independent. We're so grateful to have found this wonderful place!

Active Explorers is hands down the best preschool! Both my kids have attended and flourished. They foster a passion for life long learning and work with each child to find out about their interests and needs. The gymnastics component has been so great at building confidence and motor skills. Not only are the teachers so caring and professional the space is absolutely gorgeous and conducive to free play and learning.

Hands down the best preschool in the SE! We spent 4 years at Active Explorers between both our girls. All the teachers there are exceptional, nurturing, kind, supportive, fun and the list goes on. I don’t have enough incredible things to say about this school and this program. My eldest still talks about her time there 3 years later, and how much she loved it. They truly started off both our daughters learning journeys in the best way possible, and having the gymnastics included was spectacular as well. I would highly highly recommend this school to anyone with preschool aged kids!

Both my children have attended Active Explorers Preschool and it is by far the best decision that I have ever made. My shy, timid children blossomed into confident and strong girls. These teachers are absolutely phenomenal. You will never meet a teacher who puts more of their heart and soul into teaching as these amazing teachers do. I recommend them to everyone, and every family that I recommend, was incredibly happy as well. We love the gymnastics component as well, to keep the kiddos active and engaged. Couldn't recommend this preschool enough!

We absolutely LOVE Active Explorers - the program, the teachers, the owner! Everything has been so well run and our daughter has just thrived here. We especially love the focus on physical activity (which kid wouldn't want to do gymnastics everyday!) as well as kindness and inclusivity in every element. We cannot wait for our other kiddos to have this experience and would highly recommend this preschool for anyone looking for a great and safe place for their kids :)
