Explorers Learning Academy in Mittagong is located in a peaceful rural setting.
The children look out onto the cows and goats and watch trains passing by.
We boast an experienced, long term team, and this is complemented by some younger educators who have bucket loads of enthusiasm and new ideas.
Our cook provides fresh and nutritious meals. Mealtimes are a social occasion for children to relax and enjoy good food in the company of friends.
Our babies are cared for in a beautiful homely environment where they are encouraged to discover their world in their own time A free-flowing mix of indoor-outdoor play means that our learning environments are calm and purposeful.
Our children are true Explorers! In the year before school, our Preschoolers travel in our Explorers bus to visit our local library, and explore nearby bush land, and more.
Our preschool and transition to school programs foster skills and learning that will support and prepare your child to head confidently off to Kindergarten when their journey at Explorers comes to an end.

I was quite nervous leaving my daughter for the first time at 4 years old, but all the staff were very welcoming, warm and just really lovely. Highly recommended! Wouldn't go anywhere else!
The teachers are so lovely, and so passionate about the work they are doing with these little minds. We only have 1 year left now before big school and I am excited to see the new things Scarlett will pick up as a βSchoolieβ next year. My kid adores her teachers. Talks about how great they are all the time.
She will really miss coming here when she graduates. Another thing I really appreciate about these wonderful ladies is that they want to send my girl out into the world completely prepared for what comes next. They are dedicated to making sure these kids are equipped to handle the transition to βbig schoolβ so they will not just βbe fineβ at school but excel! Thanks again Explorers for looking after my Scarlett. Highly recommend.

On Thursday we were so proud to deliver our Christmas Present Drive to the Ronald McDonald Childrenβs Hospital. A huge thank you to everyone who donated your generosity and kindness have truly made a difference.
Every gift represents love, hope, and a reminder to families spending Christmas in hospital that they are not alone. We are so grateful to our wonderful families, children, and team for coming together to help make this Christmas a little brighter.
Together, we are teaching our children the true meaning of kindness and community.

Our 3β5 year olds participate in our Jolly Phonics Program. The Jolly Phonics program supports and engages children in learning letters and letter sounds, developing childrenβs early literacy skills. Jolly Phonics can be used in different ways such as songs, storybooks and using it on technology such as an iPad or tablet. During the year, children have developed their letter and sound recognition and have developed the skills to write these letters and their names. It has been amazing to watch! The children have shown such a big interest in Jolly Phonics, and it has helped them become confident and engaged learners for their future learning and development.

At Explorers Learning Academy, we recognise the importance of both nature and nurture in shaping a childβs growth and development. Nature, the biological influences, provides the foundation, while nurture, the environment and experiences, fosters learning and emotional well-being. Children benefit from a balanced approach that combines both aspects, as it enhances their cognitive, physical, and social growth.
For example, we support childrenβs development by providing a nurturing, supportive environment where they feel safe to explore, learn, and make mistakes. Outdoor play, particularly in the bush nook at the end of our street, allows children to connect with nature, develop physical skills like climbing and balancing, and engage in imaginative play. We also nurture emotional development by encouraging empathy and respect for others. Through these practices, children thrive emotionally and cognitively, building strong foundations for lifelong learning. ... See MoreSee Less
