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 itโs 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.
Here’s what parents and carers are sharing on Google Reviews
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 โSchoolieโ 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 โbig schoolโ so they will not just โbe fineโ at school but excel! Thanks again Explorers for looking after my Scarlett. Highly recommend.

Our 3โ5 year olds participate in our Jolly Phonics Program. The Jolly Phonics program supports and engages children in learning letters and letter sounds, developing childrenโs 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 childโs 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 childrenโs 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.
