Young Explorers Childcare has been a trusted part of the Delta community for over 12 years, known for its lively indoor play gym and nature-focused learning. If you want a daycare that blends play with real early learning milestones, this is the place I’d recommend. Their bright 3,200 square foot centre, located close to Ladner’s main shopping area, feels like a second home for curious toddlers and preschoolers.

They offer full-day care for infants (6 weeks+), toddlers, and preschoolers, plus before- and after-school care for school-age children. Weekly lesson plans cover emergent literacy, numeracy, and STEAM play, and they use the BC Early Learning Framework to guide activities. Outdoor play happens daily in a secure fenced yard with natural play features and age-appropriate climbing structures. Meals and snacks follow Canada’s Food Guide and are prepared on-site, with allergy-aware menus and labelled nut-free zones.

What they do well is make everyday moments into learning opportunities. Educators document children’s progress with digital portfolios and monthly parent reports, so you actually see development in language, social skills, and fine motor work. The team includes Early Childhood Educators with Level 2 and Level 3 certifications, a designated first aid lead, and regular professional development days. Ratios are maintained at provincial standards, and they run small-group story circles and focused art sessions to ensure individual attention.

Parents choose Young Explorers for practical reasons and neighbourhood trust. Drop-off routines are straightforward, daily communication happens via an app with photos, and there’s flexibility for casual care when schedules change. They also host seasonal family events and a local playgroup that connects neighbours. For families in Delta looking for dependable, observable early learning, Young Explorers stands out.
