At Explorers Learning Academy, we integrate animals into our daily routines to support children’s learning, empathy, and emotional development. Having animals in the early childhood environment helps children develop compassion, responsibility, and respect for living things. Animals also provide comfort, reduce stress, and encourage positive social interactions.

We teach children how to gently handle, feed, and care for animals through guided experiences and daily responsibilities. This hands-on approach fosters patience, nurturing behavior, and curiosity about the natural world.

Caring for animals helps children understand the importance of kindness and connection. It supports their emotional wellbeing and lays the foundation for lifelong empathy and respect for others—skills that are essential for both personal growth and healthy relationships.

At Explorers Learning Academy, we promote literacy from an early age through a range of engaging experiences, including storytime, songs, the Jolly Phonics program, and meaningful conversations. These activities help children develop strong language, communication, and early reading skills, setting the foundation for lifelong learning.

Early literacy supports brain development, enhances vocabulary, and builds confidence in expressing thoughts and ideas. We actively listen to children, encouraging their voices to be heard in every interaction. Their ideas, questions, and stories are valued and supported.

At Explorers, we are the voice of every child—advocating for their learning, interests, and wellbeing. Through our literacy-rich environment and nurturing approach, we ensure each child feels confident, capable, and connected as they grow into enthusiastic, capable learners.

At Explorers Learning Academy, we embrace the power of dance as a fun and engaging way to promote learning. Children enjoy dancing to a variety of music, from the energetic Heel-Toe Polka and the classic Nutbush to vibrant cultural dances and groovy moves. These activities support cognitive and physical development, improving coordination, memory, and rhythm, while fostering creativity and self-expression. Engaging with dances from diverse cultures helps children of all backgrounds build respect and appreciation for global traditions. In line with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), these dance activities contribute to children’s sense of identity, well-being, and connectedness to the world around them. By incorporating music and movement, we nurture holistic learning, ensuring children develop not only physically but also socially and emotionally.
