Innovation Education for Every Age
Through storytelling, nature exploration and hands-on learning children see themselves as innovators-hidden in plain sight.
Who We Are
Little Explorers: A Montessori Nature Experience is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to expanding access to innovation education through hands-on learning, systems thinking, and developmentally appropriate practice.
We believe innovation is not reserved for a few — it is a human skill that can be nurtured in every child.
Through our Hidden in Plain Sight™ series, we help students learn to observe everyday systems, identify problems, redesign solutions, and communicate ideas with confidence.
