Philosophy

At Little Explorers Learning Center, we believe children learn best through purposeful play, exploration, meaningful relationships, and hands-on experiences. Using Learning Beyond Paper, our educators intentionally guide children’s play, ask thought-provoking questions, and provide developmentally appropriate experiences that support the whole child while building the skills needed for future success.

Location

Our program is located in the welcoming and growing Bayshore Arts District of East Naples. The neighborhood is family-oriented, culturally diverse, and conveniently accessible from nearby communities throughout East Naples.

Little Explorers Learning Center is close to Avalon Elementary School, Shadowlawn Elementary School, the Naples Botanical Garden, East Naples Community Park, and Sugden Regional Park. We are also only a short drive from downtown Naples and U.S. 41, making our location convenient for families traveling to work or school. For families who use public transportation, the Collier Area Transit Route 14 travels along Bayshore Drive and connects the neighborhood with downtown Naples, Coastland Center, and other community destinations.

Our location gives families convenient access to schools, parks, recreation, and cultural attractions while allowing us to serve the diverse families who make the East Naples community special.
