About the Explorations Family
At Explorations, we believe children do their best learning when they feel safe, loved, and free to explore. We've been caring for children since 2014, and Oviedo is the newest member of our family.
Our Story
Our journey in early childhood started in 2014. Since then, Explorations has grown into a small family of schools. Each one is rooted in its own community, and all of them share the same heart. Oviedo is our newest home, and we're thrilled to be here.
A Note From Our Owner
“When families walk into an Explorations school, I want them to feel like they've found more than a place for drop-off. I want them to feel they've found a second family. That's what we've worked to build since 2014, and I can't wait to share it with Oviedo.”
— Shana Schiavo, Owner
What We Believe
• Children learn best together. Shared experiences build social skills, teamwork, and confidence.
• Play is how kids learn. We mix planned lessons with free play every day.
• Every child is unique. We get to know each child and meet them where they are.
• Kindness is part of the curriculum. Empathy and respect get daily practice.
• Communities grow stronger when we give back. Outreach is a proud Explorations tradition.
