Little Explorers Day School is full day childcare program with two locations. Our main program is a collaboration with Kalispell Schools and is located inside Edgerton School. We give priority enrollment to teachers & school district employees. When space is available we can enroll community families. This location only enrolls children ages 2-5. Our second location is specifically for infants & toddlers. It's located inside a house that's rented out for commercial purposes. The house is located 5 minutes from our Edgerton location in the Evergreen area off HWY 2 E.
We strive to provide a nurturing environment to the children in our care and also promote early childhood development!
Did You Know?
From birth to age 5, a child’s brain develops more than at any other time in their life. The quality of a child’s experiences in the first few years of life – positive or negative – helps shape how their brain develops!! We feel privileged to be a part of a child’s most important formative years!
The more time we allow our children to be in sensory rich environments, the greater opportunities there are for brain development 💙
Program Owners: Alicia & Nathan Simmons
Married with four children of their own. Alicia has a BS Degree in Child Development and 18 years of experience working in early childhood programs. Nathan joined her in August 2023 to work along with her as they planned to expand the program as the community needed more high quaility childcare programs.

This allows children to participate in a variety of
stimulating and developmentally appropriate activities. We believe routine is important while also allowing flexibility in our days.
By providing a variety of art & sensory activities,
your child will naturally learn
how to explore, investigate and create!
Even in the cold Montana winters,
children can enjoy playing outside comfortably. We strive to take the children outside as much as possible.
