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.
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 ‘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.
📚✨ Book Week at Explorers Learning Academy! ✨📚
What an amazing Book Week we had at Explorers Learning Academy! Our children looked fantastic in their creative costumes and proudly brought in some of their favourite stories to share with us. 📖❤️
We believe literacy is an important part of the early years, helping children develop language, communication, imagination, confidence and a lifelong love of learning. By making reading fun and engaging, children discover that books can take them on exciting adventures, introduce new ideas and inspire their creativity.
Of course, the children weren’t the only ones who enjoyed dressing up—the educators joined in the fun too! 👩🏫🦸♀️📚
Through shared reading, storytelling, discussions and imaginative play, we support children to build their literacy skills in meaningful ways.
This connects with the EYLF, particularly Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators, as children engage with stories, symbols, language and meaningful literacy experiences.
What a wonderful celebration of books, imagination and learning! 🌟📚

This week was pure magic in our Mittagong West centre as we brought our favorite storybooks to life for Book Week! Watching the children’s eyes light up as their teachers and friends walked in as iconic book characters set off a week full of laughter, wonder, and non stop imagination. From dance parties to reading our favorurite books, the energy was electric as the kids dove headfirst into the celebration, showing off their own fantastic costumes, cozying up with beloved tales, and discovering new worlds together. As educators, there is nothing quite like witnessing that genuine spark of joy and curiosity, and we couldn’t be prouder of our little community of readers!

Providing nutritious food is a vital part of early childhood development, as healthy nutrition acts as a direct catalyst for learning and play. When children enjoy balanced, wholesome meals, it stabilizes their energy levels, supports brain function, and sharpens their focus, giving them the essential foundation they need to explore, create, and thrive throughout their day.

This week at Explorers Learning Academy, we celebrated Science Week by encouraging children to explore, question, investigate and discover through hands-on science experiments. Fostering a love of learning from an early age supports children to become curious, confident and capable learners. We do what we do because children learn best when they can actively participate, test ideas and learn through play. Other ways we can support Science Week include gardening, exploring magnets, observing insects, experimenting with water, creating simple machines, investigating light and shadows, and using recycled materials for STEM projects. These experiences support the EYLF Outcomes 4 and 5, developing curiosity, problem-solving, creativity, communication and confident learning dispositions.
