EXPLORERS LEARNING ACADEMY REVIEWS

My children have been attending Explorer's for nearly three years now. We could not be happier with the centre. The educators are friendly, enthusiastic and competent, consistently providing new learning experiences for our children as well as nurturing and caring for them on a daily basis. Communication between staff and parents is exceptional, the teaching is authentic, the environment is stimulating and the children are happy. I couldn't recommend Explorer's more.

I can’t give more praise for the team at Explorers Mittagong. My daughter has been there for 3 years, now in the preschool room, and my son has been there for a year since he was one. The preschool program is well regarded and run by experienced teachers. Overall a wonderful group of educators and women that are genuinely passionate about their work and the wellbeing of children.

My kids absolutely love explorers. Kind, caring, knowledgeable educators. Fantastic healthy food prepared on-site. Great play based learning programs. Highly recommended.

BEST KIDZ EARLY LEARNING CENTRE SOUTHERN HIGHLANDS REVIEWS

Our boys loved Best Kidz. The outdoor play area is fantastic & so many different fun activities for the children! The educators are amazing, friendly and great communicators. The prep for school programs were excellent, as well as many special activity days during the year for the kids to participate in and look forward to.

I couldn't be happier with my choice to send my son to Best Kidz and I would recommend the centre to anyone. The location of the centre is easy to access and the facilities are fantastic. The backyard area is particularly awesome, with a cubby house, bike track, hedge maze, sand pit and pirate ship climbing structure. The learning program in the prep for school room has proven to make an impact on my son, as he comes home each day with so many new things to tell me, as well as educational songs he has learnt. The staff are well educated, positive and communicate well. I know my son is in such good hands, each day he attends Best Kidz.

The most amazing preschool. I have 2 boys there and they not only love going but they are thriving. The staff are all so wonderful and caring.
