Inside Our Avon Location

When you enter our Avon location, you will be welcomed into a brightly-lit and comfortable grand foyer. Our décor is warm and inviting, modeled after model homes built recently in the area. We proudly exceed state square foot requirements!

Our classrooms are designed to feel welcoming and age-appropriate. The nursery has warm lighting and a quiet crib area. Our toddler classrooms have child-size furnishings, a door leading directly to the playground, and window seats with built-in bookshelves. Our preschool classrooms have en-suite restrooms, built-in window seats and bookcases.

To give your child a well-rounded and engaging Montessori experience, we also have a tutoring room, music room, and indoor gym.

We have a commercial kitchen that our chef uses to prepare a healthy and delicious lunch that our students love.

Our Exterior Spaces

Our shaded playground has a dedicated toddler side and a side especially for preschool and school-age students. Both sides feature custom-built play structures, Pour N Play soft and clean playground flooring, a basketball hoop, a trike track, and a play lemonade stand. We also have a grassy area and place to plant a small garden.

At Young Explorers, we believe that children need to run freely and play with their friends, as well as be outside in nature. Every day that the weather is tolerable, our students go outside and have fun!

Safety & Security

At Young Explorers, we take the safety and security of your child very seriously. Each family has their own door code and all doors are secured. We use an app to check kids in and out, even between classrooms, so we know where every student is at all times.

Testimonials

See what parents and children are saying about Young Explorers!

  • I was nervous to start Logan, because he's so sensitive and quite clingy, and I was a little anxious at how he would react to his new environment. No matter my worries or concerns, I have loved how everyone is so kind and patient with Logan and calms my anxiety. Even in the first few weeks, I can see some of his learning expanding already.

    – Rachel and Sean Pall
    Son Logan, 2 years old

  • They are so unbelievably caring; they set expectations for the children that the children strive to reach. Audrey has blossomed over the past 4 years that she has been at your center. We are forever grateful for the assistance in building Audrey's foundation, they had such a positive influence on us all. Audrey was thrilled to go to school every day, not one day did she ever say I do not want to go.

    – Vicki Anderson G.
    Daughter Audrey, 5 years old

  • First of all the facility and curriculum is top notch. The facility was very well designed and decorated. It is bright, cheery, and clean. My two-year old especially loves music class and is always singing new songs at home. Both my boys learned so much at an early age. Before they even start preschool they know their shapes, colors, alphabet, counting (Spanish and English). I’m very impressed by what the teachers are able to do!

    – Morgan J.
    Sons Lucas (5) and Ryan (2)
