About Us
A Little about ESC:
Explore Science Club offers nature inspired science enrichment programs for children aged 3+.
We offer annual & monthly programs as well as Spring and Summer break care.
ESC is a licensed family daycare located in Langley City (at border with Cloverdale). This allows us to keep prices affordable for you and ensures your peace of mind knowing that our facility is checked by Fraser Health. Given the prices of real estate these days, it is time we normalized home based businesses. ESC programs are professional and safe, emphasizing quality and excellence in everything we do.
Walking distance to Buckley/Hi-Knoll Park, Penzer Park and Brydon Lagoon, combined with our backyard (Langley Science Garden) allows us to offer unique STEAM and STEM programs not possible anywhere else.
ESC also offers programs through Langley City's Recreation Guide.
​
Our fun, hands on, and varied programs boost confidence in the sciences while sharpening critical thinking and sparking creativity. ESC's themes support school curriculum, strengthening knowledge and understanding.
Our science and nature programs are great for curious children who like to explore and create.
