About Us

We have a wonderful group of teachers who truly love children.  We are a family at Little Explorers and operate out of our home in Pittsboro NC.  We are located just a few minutes from the heart of Pittsboro and Briar Chapel.

Lauren T       Owner/Teacher 

 

My name is Lauren and I have been the owner of Little Explorers in my home since 2008. I have worked in Child care in NC since 2001. I am a mother of 5 and am passionate about Children as well as the families of the children in my care.  In college I studied physics and engineering at both NC Pembroke and NC A&T in Greensboro.  After having my first child I changed my path and chose to make a difference in the lives of children.

Diane AKA Gommy         PreK and Kindergarten Lead teacher

 

My name is Diane but the kids all call me Gommy.  I started working with Little Explorers to be closer to my grandchildren and since retiring I have taken on a larger roll as a teacher for the Prekindergarten class.  I graduated from Southeast MO State University in Cape Girardeau with a bachelor of science degree in Elementary education minoring in English and art education.  I started teaching first grade after graduating and continued teaching for 18+ years in both public and private schools.  I have experience teaching in Kindergarten and Preschool education for 12 years.  I'm thankful to have the pleasure of working alongside some amazing teachers and families.
