Here’s what parents and carers are sharing on Google Reviews
I am so happy with all the admin support as well, especially during his transition to kindy by providing documents needed by primary school. Sam was so amazing and helpful a lot! Canโt thank her enough and all the team in Bardia Explores. Keep up the good work!! X
Explorer's learning academy was/is the complete opposite for us. Huge yard - amazing for kids to be outside exploring, running around and testing their own abilities. The educators are honestly beautiful, and all so lovely. Special credit to Sam who really brought my son out of his shell! I noticed a big change in him as soon as he started at explorer's. He made friends, brought home art and craft "masterpieces", brought home a lot more sand, dirt, bark and grass (means he had fun!), but also came home happily telling me about his day! I wholeheartedly believe that Explorer's assisted in his transition to kindy greatly, and I'm so relieved and glad that we made the decision to move them to this centre.
Our family appreciate the girls at Explorer's so much, and while there have been some staff that have left (as would all other centres) my kids have taken no time in adjusting to a new educator here and there, nor has it affected their happiness and eagerness to attend. My daughter's favourite tends to rotate between many educators, which tells me she's fond of more than just a few of the girls. Shout out to Kasey, Simone and Cristina for loving on my sensitive princess of a baby girl and making her ease into the centre without an issue in the beginning. I'm confident that when Baby #3 is ready to start, he will be well looked after and adored also!
Remembrance Day 2025
Over the past week, the children have been learning about the importance of Remembrance Day through meaningful discussions and creative experiences. Together, they created beautiful poppies, cards, and wreaths to honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
Today, Miss Taryn and Miss Brooke proudly delivered the childrenโs wreath to the Ingleburn RSL Club, paying tribute to our war heroes and their families.
We remember their courage, their sacrifice, and the legacy of peace they have left for us all.
Lest We Forget.

Spooky fun and magical learning have filled the rooms at Explorers Learning Academy this week!
Our little explorers have been counting eyeballs in bubbling potions, mixing mysterious playdough brews, and creating spooky art that has brought out their creativity and imagination! From sensory cauldrons and ghostly beanbag tosses to pumpkin crafts and trick-or-treat games, every moment has been filled with laughter, curiosity, and a little bit of Halloween magic.
Weโve loved seeing our children engage in hands-on learning through play developing fine motor skills, problem-solving, social connections, and confidence along the way.
Wishing all our families a safe, happy, and spook-tacular Halloween!

Happy Diwali โ The Festival of Lights!
What a bright and joy-filled day weโve had celebrating Diwali at Explorers! Our centre sparkled with colour and excitement as children and educators dressed in vibrant traditional outfits, helped create a large outdoor rangoli, and explored Indian-inspired cooking experiences that filled the air with delicious aromas.
Through these hands-on experiences, our Explorers learned about the meaning of Diwali a time to celebrate light, love, family, and new beginnings.
These shared cultural celebrations help children develop respect for diversity, a sense of belonging, and an appreciation for how different communities express joy around the world.
๐ โWhen we share our light with others, the whole world shines brighter.โ ๐
Wishing all our families who celebrate a warm and wonderful Diwali!

Our Little Joeys had the BEST morning exploring, creating and getting their hands messy with our educators!
Today we programmed a construction-themed playdough experience, inspired by the childrenโs recent love for trucks, builders and all things โwork siteโ! Together, the children helped make the playdough completely from scratch measuring, pouring and mixing like little chefs. They chose a grey colour to resemble real concrete, and they were SO proud of their creation!
Once our playdough โconcreteโ was ready, the children spent the morning building roads, construction sites and spaces for their trucks to explore. There was so much imagination, teamwork and joy happening at every table.
Why playdough play is amazing in early childhood:
โข Strengthens fine-motor skills and hand muscles
โข Encourages creativity, imagination and storytelling
โข Supports language development through conversation
โข Builds early math and science concepts through measuring, counting and mixing
โข Offers calming sensory input that helps children regulate
We love following the childrenโs interests and turning them into meaningful learning experiences.
What a fun, hands on morning in our Joeys Room! ... See MoreSee Less
