About Us
A Place Where Childhood is an Adventure
At Little Explorers, we believe childhood isn’t a race…it’s a journey full of wonder, curiosity, and discovery.
Our center was founded with a simple but powerful vision: to give young children a joyful, nature-connected start that nurtures not only their minds, but also their hearts and spirits.
Our Philosophy
Rooted in the values of joy, connection, and curiosity, our philosophy honors the natural brilliance of every child. We know that children are born curious, creative, and capable and our role is to nurture that spark. Learning at Little Explorers happens through play, exploration, and connection to the world around us.
We trust children as natural learners. That means we create open-ended invitations to explore through movement, music, art, storytelling, and time in nature. Every part of our day, from snack time to story time, is seen as a chance to grow confident, capable, and kind.
Nature as Our Second Classroom
The outdoors is at the heart of our approach. Whether splashing in puddles, planting seeds, or building forts from fallen branches, children at Little Explorers learn and grow through daily experiences in nature. Fresh air, open spaces, and hands-on discovery fuel both healthy bodies and inspired minds.
Connected to Community
Little Explorers is proud to be aligned with Warren Young Explorers Public Charter School (Warren YES). This partnership means that children who attend our program receive enrollment preference at Warren YES, giving families a supportive pathway from early childhood into elementary education

A Note From the Founder, Caroline Hundley:
Dear Families,
I believe early childhood is a time for learning with joy and curiosity. As Director of Warren Little Explorers, I work to build a place where your child feels seen and valued and invited to explore. I center nature, play, and connection for young children. I bring purpose to every part of the preschool experience so children grow curious minds and kind hearts.
I feel honored to guide this community of young learners in Warren County.
With care,
Caroline Hundley
