In the lively and bustling state of New Jersey, there's a group of kids unlike any others. These pint-sized adventurers are the Sensory Explorers, engaging in an activity known as Sensory Play. Now, my dear reader, you might be wondering, "What on earth is Sensory Play?!" Well, allow me to explain by introducing their imaginary friend and guide, Snozzleberry the Wacky Weasel, who has a rainbow-colored tail and an infectious giggle. Snozzleberry and the Sensory Explorers embark on daily adventures in New Jersey, a state famous not only for its juicy tomatoes and thrilling theme parks, but also for being the birthplace of the lightbulb! New Jersey is truly a hub of innovation, and nothing embodies that spirit more than these curious kids. Each day, they dive into exploration stations filled with soft sand, squishy play dough, bouncy slime, or tinkling water beads. Snozzleberry encourages them to touch, to feel, to squish, and squelch! With their hands, feet, and even their noses, they discover textures and sensations that are as different as night and day, or a fluffy marshmallow and a crunchy pickle! Through their Sensory Play, the Sensory Explorers learn so much more than they ever would in an ordinary classroom. They're not just playing; they're scientists, artists, and inventors all rolled into one. Snozzleberry always says, "The world is your laboratory, and your senses are your tools!" And the best part? The laughter. Oh, the laughter that fills the air! The Sensory Explorers, with their clothes splattered in paint, dough under their fingernails, and the biggest grins on their faces, are the happiest kids in all of New Jersey. And Snozzleberry the Wacky Weasel? He wouldn't trade his job for all the cheese in the world!

In 2014, Le Parc Preschool was created initially through the teaching and philosophy of Jean Alexander. Though retired for over two decades Mrs. Alexander used a very successful form of integrated teaching that was affectionately coined "The Miko Method" for preschoolers. Le Parc Place is an integrated Preschool and indoor enrichment center for children. At Le Parc we want every young person and their family to be a part of the Le Parc experience. Appreciation for all of life’s experiences are encompassed into our philosophy and our approach to early childhood development. We enjoy creating innovative and unique ways for young ones to grow both academically, socially and artistically. The MIKO (Mastery, Independence, Knowledge and Optimism) Method's primary focus is identifying and expanding a child’s individual strengths within a stimulating, nurturing and relaxed learning environment. Children grow and learn through socialization, recognition, investigation, retention, repetition and creative process, which we encourage through ongoing exploration and exposure.
