Fun & Exciting Learning
We offer a Daycare Program that builds and encourages the potential in every child through nurturing, praising, and in an enriched, safe early learning environment.
In our preschool program, we teach the children in a half structured/play based environment. We see the potential in all children and strive to work with each child in a small group setting so giving everyone undivided attention.
Every child learns at his or her own pace, and here at Play Island Explorers we develop individual programs for each child to ensure readiness for school and social integration from young age.
