Here’s what parents and carers are sharing on Google Reviews
We especially appreciated the educators, manager and director. Our daughter makes caring friendships and loves her classroom teachers. Thank you Explorers for giving our daughter so much of positive experience.
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! Canβt 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!
πππ Healthy Growing Bodies Start with Healthy Food! πππ
At Explorers Learning Academy Bardia, we proudly serve fresh fruit platters daily alongside our meals and snacks. Our children enjoy a colourful variety of seasonal fruits that provide essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients to support their growth, development and overall wellbeing.
Offering a wide range of fruits encourages children to explore new tastes, develop healthy eating habits and build a positive relationship with nutritious foods from an early age. Fresh fruit also supports healthy immune systems, energy levels and concentration throughout the day.
βChildren who are offered a variety of healthy foods in their early years are more likely to develop lifelong healthy eating habits.β
We love watching our little explorers discover new flavours and enjoy healthy choices with their friends each day! ππ

π’π World Sea Turtle Day at Explorers Learning Academy! ππ’
Today, our children enjoyed participating in World Sea Turtle Day, a special opportunity to learn about these incredible marine animals and the important role we all play in protecting their habitats.
Through hands-on experiences, discussions, creative activities, and exploration, the children discovered fascinating facts about sea turtles, their life cycle, and the challenges they face in our oceans. Together, we explored ways we can care for the environment, including reducing waste, recycling, and helping to keep our waterways and beaches clean.
At Explorers Learning Academy, we believe that fostering a love and respect for nature from a young age helps children develop a sense of responsibility and connection to the world around them. Experiences such as these support children to become active participants in caring for our planet and its wildlife.

Through meaningful sustainability experiences, our little explorers are learning that even small actions can make a big difference for the future of our oceans and the amazing creatures that call them home.

π€πβ€οΈ Reconciliation Week Continues β€οΈππ€
Our little children have been continuing their Reconciliation Week journey through hands-on sensory exploration, creativity, and meaningful conversations.
The children explored a variety of sensory trays inspired by nature, colours, textures, and symbols that help us learn about and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. Through touching, scooping, pouring, and investigating natural materials, our youngest learners engaged their senses while developing curiosity about the world around them.
We also enjoyed painting experiences using traditional colours and patterns, encouraging children to express themselves creatively while exploring culture, identity, and belonging. These experiences provided wonderful opportunities for fine motor development, language growth, and social interactions as children worked alongside their peers.
At Explorers Learning Academy, we believe that building respect and understanding begins from the earliest years. Through meaningful experiences such as these, we support children to develop a sense of connection to Country, culture, and community.
