Had my 2 sons attending TEA for a few years (infant/toddler/preschool and infant/toddler) and only have good things to say about this daycare. Went through many staff turnover and a bit of Management turnover (especially during COVID) but the level of care has always been consistent and my kids always looked well taken care of. Also like the ability to see kids through camera the whole time (although I don't have time for it). Location next to key beltline and railtracks also offer some outdoor adventures during summer months.

I love and trust Tiny Explorers so much!!! I could not have asked for a better place to take care of my daughter while I am at work. The amazing teachers encourage her to be curious, creative, sociable and kind to others! I am thankful we got a spot :)

We couldn’t be happier with Tiny Explorers Academy! Our daughter loves going every day. The teachers are warm, caring, and truly dedicated to each child’s growth and happiness. We’ve seen such a positive change in our daughter's confidence, social skills, and creativity since she started. The staff keeps us well-informed and involved, and the environment is always clean, safe, and filled with fun learning experiences. We feel so lucky to be part of the Tiny Explorers Academy family. Highly recommended!

We have been part of the TEA family for over a year now, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. The academy itself is wonderful, but what truly sets it apart are the incredible people who make it feel like home. Ms. Stephanie is such a kind and genuine soul, always making sure every concern is heard and every child receives the best possible care. In Toddler Classroom 1, our daughter is cared for by three of the most loving and beautiful people—Ms. Maddy, Ms. Tenzing, and Ms. Emilie. They don’t just look after her—they truly love her, nurture her, and treat her as if she were their own. Their warmth, patience, and positivity shine through in everything they do, from engaging the children in fun activities to calming them when they’re upset, and even paying special attention during mealtimes. Knowing our daughter is with such caring, devoted educators means the world to us. We love them, our daughter loves them, and we will forever be grateful for the joy and comfort they bring to her every single day.

I was so impressed with my child’s Toddler experience at TE - the toddler 1 teachers Tenzin , Maddie and Emilie were wonderful. They were excellent early educators and very kind. The supervisors are also really helpful and professional; Lindsey and Stephanie . 5/5 stars for the Toddler room !
