Our Guardian Angel
The Incredible Ms. Renee
Ms. Renee was and still is the perfect example of the core values of Little Explorers. She became a part of our family back in 2017 with over 30 years of early childhood experience and was a committed member of our team up until her unexpected passing in October of 2023. The love she continuously showed each and everyday for every child in our care was unmatched by anyone and the kids felt the same way about her. She was one of the most dedicated and hard-working members of our team and she is greatly missed every day by our team, the children and their families.
