Who We Are

A brand-new preschool where every child is known by name

Little Explorers PreSchool & Childcare is a purpose-built early years school in Kungu, Najjera II, opening in January 2027. We care for and teach children aged 18 months to 6 years, following the internationally recognised Cambridge curriculum.

We began with a simple belief: a child’s first school should feel safe, warm and full of wonder. So we built small classes, bright and secure spaces, and a team who love what they do, and we put play at the heart of every day.

Our Vision

A generation of confident, caring and curious children who are ready for school and ready for life, growing up right here in Najjera.

What We Stand For

The values behind every day

  • Safety first

    From who we hire to how every room is set out, children’s safety and wellbeing come before everything else.

  • Curiosity

    We follow children’s questions and give them the time and space to wonder, try and discover for themselves.

  • Kindness & respect

    We model patience, good manners and care, and help children learn to treat everyone with respect.

  • Joy in learning

    Play, songs, stories and hands-on discovery fill every day, because children learn best when they are happy.

  • High standards

    The Cambridge curriculum and caring, well-trained teachers give every child a strong foundation for school.

  • Partnership with families

    Parents are our partners. Our doors are open, our updates are regular and our conversations are honest.

Founder’s Message

A word from our founder

“Every child deserves a beginning that makes them feel safe, seen and excited to learn.”

Dear parents and friends,

When we set out to build Little Explorers, we asked ourselves one question: what kind of place would we trust with the children we love most? The answer was a school that is safe and warm, that treats every child as an individual, and that takes the early years as seriously as any stage of education.

Those first years shape so much of who our children become. That is why we built a purpose-built space, chose the internationally recognised Cambridge curriculum, and are bringing together caring, well-trained teachers who see the potential in every child.

Families in Najjera should not have to travel far for a world-class start. Little Explorers is our commitment to this community: a place where children play, ask questions, make friends and grow in confidence, and where parents are always welcome.

I warmly invite you to visit, meet our team and see the space for yourself. It would be an honour to be part of your child’s first steps.
