Michael Koffler
Explore + Discover’s Creativity-
Focused Infant and Toddler Curriculum
Introduction
 A well established New York education industry entrepreneur,
Michael Koffler is currently launching Explore + Discover early
learning schools. Employing an evidenced-based approach,
Michael Koffler helps develop centers that feature safety,
security, and innovative technology support.
At the center of the Explore + Discover curriculum approach is
providing an engaging environment that promotes social
learning. From the earliest age, babies have a strong interest in
companionship and familiar faces. A supportive environment is
essential as children develop and form strong attachments to
caretakers and friendships with peers.
The Explore + Discover environment is one that fosters new
sight, sound and touch experiences. Each day babies are
introduced to various aspects of the natural world, such as
flowers and pebbles, and they interact with acoustic instruments.
The curriculum and class design is set up to allow crawling,
walking, rest, and meal time, while ensuring a fun, social
experience. Inspirations for the school’s “best practices”
approach for infants and toddlers include Reggio Emilia and
Resources for Infant Educarers.
