French and Mandarin Preschool

At Explorer Studio, children ages 2–5 learn and thrive in a science-rich and art-filled preschool environment, fully immersed in French or Mandarin. Our curriculum is delivered through multidisciplinary projects and materials-rich learning centers (atéliers). Children spend time daily at these atéliers dedicated to science, math, building, art, fine motor skills, and literacy.

 

Our humans

Our teachers guide your children with insight, skill, and enthusiasm. They create the complete preschool experience of a warm community – nurturing children’s social, emotional, intellectual, and linguistic development.

    “I can’t speak highly enough about Explorer and all of the educators. My daughter has been enrolled in the French program since she was 2. She is now 4 and will be attending another final year before kindergarten. The curriculum is tailored the children’s needs, lots of Montessori based learning/activities and most importantly, I feel my child is safe and well taken care of.”

    “Thank you for everything you do for our children. When I drop my daughter off I know she is in the best caring, loving and nurturing hands. She loves each and everyone of you and talks about you at home. I couldn’t think of a better place for her to have started her education and we’ll be forever grateful.”

    “Explorer Studio is the best! We feel lucky and grateful to have them. It's been a joy seeing our little one grow there. He feels safe there and trusts the wonderful teachers and staff, which (true to the school's namesake) allows him to truly explore and learn. You can tell the entire team genuinely cares for each child through their daily activities and well-planned field trips. As parents, we couldn't ask for a more nurturing and enriching environment for our little explorer.”
