2. INTRODUCTION
 Michael Koffler is a New York education industry entrepreneur who is presently
developing a network of early childhood centers. At Explore+Discover, Michael
Koffler has set in place a science-based learning system that encompasses
elements such as sensory experience and multi-mode tactile activity.
An article in New York Family emphasized the school’s unique focus on meeting
the needs of parents of babies and toddlers who want a warm, supportive
environment for their children. The 6,400-square foot space in Manhattan
encompasses eight classrooms, an early age library, a gathering space, a multi-
modal art room, and a private room that nursing mothers are welcome to use. An
added benefit is a unique private, protected, outdoor play space, with the entire
facility described as a “childhood dreamscape of color and cheer.”
The Explore+Discover approach is driven by a passion for instilling creativity at
an early age, with inspiration found in the Reggio Emilia educational philosophy.
At its core is the belief that children should take an integral role in the unfolding
of their everyday learning activities. With a sense of independent learning
instilled, the first years of life offer extensive potential for personal growth and
development. Explore & Discover elevates a child's, and a parent's experience
to a well thought through, learning living environment
