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 ‘Schoolie’ 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 ‘big school’ so they will not just ‘be fine’ at school but excel! Thanks again Explorers for looking after my Scarlett. Highly recommend.
WOW – what an incredible afternoon we had at our Father’s Day BBQ!
A HUGE thank you to all the amazing dads, grandads, and father figures who joined us, along with the wonderful mums, grandparents, and families who came together to celebrate. Your smiles, laughter, and love made the day truly unforgettable.
The children had the BEST surprise with our special guests Sonic and Mario who brought so much excitement, hugs, and happy memories for everyone!
From sizzling sausages to superhero-style fun, the afternoon was filled with joy, connection, and community spirit. We are so grateful to share these precious moments with you all.
Thank you for making this Father’s Day one to remember – our Explorer’s community really is something special!

✨🦷 Today was full of smiles at Explorers Learning Academy Bardia! 🦷✨
We had a very special visit from the Dental Fairy, who came to teach us all about keeping our teeth strong and healthy. The children sang songs, played games, and learned important hygiene practices in a fun and engaging way.
To make the day even more magical, the children also had the opportunity to receive a professional dental check-up and clean what a wonderful experience for building confidence in caring for our teeth!
We’re so proud of our brave little explorers for embracing healthy habits and making the Dental Fairy feel so welcome. Keep shining those bright smiles!

At Explorers Learning Academy, we proudly support Indigenous Literacy Day, recognizing its importance in promoting cultural awareness and literacy. Our Indigenous Book Swap encourages children of all backgrounds to engage with stories that reflect diverse Indigenous cultures, fostering empathy and understanding. This initiative not only enhances children’s literacy skills but also broadens their perspectives, helping them appreciate the rich traditions, histories, and languages of Indigenous peoples. Early childhood education and care settings provide an ideal space for children to explore these themes through interactive learning, storytelling, and hands-on activities. By celebrating Indigenous Literacy Day, we ensure that children develop a deep respect for cultural diversity, which shapes them into more inclusive, informed, and compassionate individuals. ...

Nature play is more than just fun. It is essential for children's growth and development. Playing outdoors helps children build physical skills, spark creativity and develop problem solving abilities. It supports emotional wellbeing, encourages social interaction and fosters a deep connection with the environment. Nature play offers children space to explore, move freely and learn through real world experiences, all while meeting key early learning outcomes. Let's nurture their minds, bodies and love for the natural world. ... See MoreSee Less
