Early Explorations

Early Explorations Encinitas preschool has been serving the community of Encinitas for 20 years. Lori Pettine the director has been with the school since the first day it opened. She and the rest of the staff at the school believe in the love and learning of children.
Our purpose at Early Explorations is to prepare children in all areas of development through play and exploration while providing a safe and nurturing learning environment. We are committed to respecting the dignity worth and uniqueness of each individual child teacher and family.
Our classroom reflect the play-based philosophy of learning which comes from the works of Piaget Montessori Erickson and other child development experts. Learning is a complex process that results from the active interaction of the child and his/her environment. Children learn by exploring experimenting and manipulating. The role of the teacher is to prepare the environment so that children will feel safe comfortable and motivated to enjoy learning.
