About Us

Welcome to Early Explorer’s Family Child Care - where little learners grow through play, curiosity, and connection.

Our play-based approach encourages natural exploration and discovery, with engaging activities designed to support each child’s developmental journey. Whether it’s sensory play, early literacy, music, or outdoor time, your child will thrive in a space designed especially for them; where curiosity leads the way.

We provide nutritious, home-style meals and snacks daily, so you can feel confident knowing your child is well-fed and cared for in every way.

Come grow with us - we can’t wait to welcome your family!

Christina Phillips

Welcome! I’m Christy, the heart behind Early Explorer’s Family Childcare.

For over 38 years, I’ve dedicated myself to nurturing and educating young children - as a nanny, preschool teacher, and now as a licensed family childcare provider. I hold 32 units in Early Childhood Education and a degree in Individual and Society, blending academic knowledge with hands-on experience to create a well-rounded, play-based environment where curiosity leads the way and children feel safe, supported, and inspired to grow.

I’m also a proud mom to four grown children and three grown bonus children, which has deepened my understanding of the joys and challenges of parenthood. I know how important it is to find a caregiver who feels like family - someone who truly appreciates and nurtures your child’s individual strengths.

Opening Early Explorer’s has been a dream in the making. After a year of preparation and licensing, I’m proud to offer a warm, home-like setting where children can explore, discover, and thrive.

I look forward to welcoming you and your little one into our childcare family!
