Love this place! I have my second child through here and about to say goodbye and head off to Prep next year and wanted to say that my boys have been so lucky to have experienced such wonderful times at Explorers. The staff are nurturing and so very helpful. The educators do an amazing job with such engaging and varied educational activities and environment. Shereen, May and Hai have always been fabulous and so patient with my boy. So many more wonderful educators I could mention that have had a role to play over the years. Thank you to all! Management is caring and supportive of parents, children and their staff. Thanks Connie and George for all your hard work! A wonderful preschool journey! So sad the end of the year is approaching!
