About Us

A Place Where Every Child Feels Like Home

Little Explorers Daycare has been a cornerstone of early childhood education in Yonkers for over 15 years. Founded on the belief that young children learn best in a warm, safe, and stimulating environment, we've grown from a small home-based program into one of the most trusted childcare providers in the area.

Our approach blends structured learning with free play, creative expression, and social development. Every day at Little Explorers is an adventure — one where curiosity is celebrated, mistakes are welcomed as learning moments, and every child is seen, heard, and valued.
