About Great Explorations Preschool & Child Care
Located in the West Portage, Michigan, Great Explorations Preschool & Child Care has been providing high quality, child-centered early childhood care and education for more than 20 years. We are committed to providing a well-balanced, highly personalized education that ...promotes the development of the whole child. Our 5-star program is licensed by the state of Michigan and accredited by the National Association for Family Child Care (NAFCC).
Our unique in-home program combines the benefits of a formal preschool education with the warm and familiar comforts of a loving home. Familiar surroundings help to make transitions easier for young children. Our small group environment means more one-on-one interaction with your child and far less exposure to communicable disease such a Flu, etc., than in large child care centers.
Our comprehensive curriculum is based on current research as to how children learn, and combines a mixture of developmentally appropriate practices, including: Theme Based, Emergent (capitalizing on teachable moments), and Play Based. Our program provides exposure to the skills that are fundamental to success in kindergarten and beyond. Our curriculum is designed to compliment the Portage and Kalamazoo Public Schools kindergarten programs, as well as others. Our theme-based curriculum units encourage curiosity and self-direction, and incorporate language, math, science, geography, creative arts, music, Spanish, motor skills and social development.
* Degreed teachers *Competitive rates * Nutritious meals and snacks

Awesome place for children!
Great Explorations provides a warm, loving and stimulating environment for children (so important), and provides an impressive curriculum program as well! Their website outlines their program beautifully! My children attended over a span of 10 years (3 children), and st...arted Kindergarten academically advanced. Socially, they were also well adjusted and ready to go! If you're lucky enough to hold one of the few spots available, you will be very happy!
A perfect balance of care and education -- we feel so blessed to hold a spot her
such a wonderful experience with Great Explorations Preschool! I really like their full day program, and the calm and loving environment was just what I was looking for. Surprisingly, my daughter acclimated quickly, she's excited to attend everyday, and she's learning s...o much! I enjoy a calming peace of mind everyday at work now, knowing my daughter is happy, safe, loved and learning! I know I chose the perfect place for my child!
