New Preschool and Parent's "Time Out" Childcare Programs open at Birmingham Unitarian Church

Explorations School for Young Learners is a warm and loving community made up of students, teachers, parents and community members who work together to inspire play, creativity, imagination and a sense of self, while looking outward into the community and the world.  We were founded to provide a nurturing and secure educational setting for young children which emphasizes character education and the inherent worth and dignity of every person.

We are committed to providing excellence in early childhood education and we are excited to partner with you during this important stage of your child's development.  We have a highly qualified and trained staff of accredited teachers and assistants with extensive experience in educating young children.  

Explorations believes that young children learn best by doing and that they need a variety of activities to achieve this goal.  Our preschool program engages children in developmentally appropriate activities which are aimed at the development of the whole child. Through our play- based, thematic curriculum and creative exploration activities we are able to support each child’s cognitive, physical, emotional and social growth. Our program incorporates high academics and character education as well as social and environmental awareness, while emphasizing earth–friendly practices and other healthy choices. In this learning environment children are able to learn, explore, discover and meet their full potential as they experience the world around them.

We value diversity and we strive to foster individuality, self-confidence, a positive attitude, respect, responsibility to one’s self and to others and most importantly, a love of learning. Our teachers are teaching the next generation of lifelong learners and preparing the children for future success in kindergarten and beyond.

We believe in the value of inclusion. We respect and are enriched by such diversity in our community as culture, language, religion, socio-economic status and ability.  We believe that an inclusive program where all children and families are accepted is beneficial for everyone. Some of these benefits are; awareness and respect for differences, greater acceptance and superior social outcomes.
