Our Mittagong West service has a large garden for our children to explore, play and run in.
With natural space that is shaded by large trees that give the kookaburras and cockatoos a place to safely watch our children garden in the veggie beds and care for our resident rabbit and chickens.
Our cook prides herself on cooking nutritious meals with a menu that is approved by Munch and Move; so we know it ticks all the boxes, but it’s always oh so tasty too!
Our babies through to our preschoolers are busy bees, always having educational and fun activities to learn through play. The design of the service allows all ages to share experiences together, making meaningful friendships as the children and grow in their space.

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.
Children learn about their world though playing. Dramatic play also known as pretend play is important for children’s development. Dramatic play helps support children’s social skills and supports their self-expression. Dramatic play also helps to build on children’s language skills as children will have conversations with other children during play. Children will bring their imagination to life by using dress-ups, home-corners, baby dolls, puppets and so much more.

At Explorers Lego play is a powerful learning tool that supports childrens development in so many ways. Building fine motor skills through snapping, stacking and connecting peices to strengthen little hands and fingers. Encouraging problem solving skills through planning, testing and adapting. Early STEM concepts such as balance , patterns, size and structure as well as promting creativity and social skills. We use Lego play to assist children to learn to persist, think critically and feel proud of what they create. It is hands-on learning that grows confidence and a love of learning.
