24.01.2022 Here at Explore Learning, we have a space for the school aged children, where we support their sense of belonging and ownership. They love to help themselves to resources and snacks while interacting in the space how they choose. Red Roof School the children decided to name their space and it sure has stuck. I think most of our community calls it Red Roof now Olivia, Mabel and Macey enjoy their time at Red Roof before school and today they worked together to create a huge home for the King and Queen. We love to provide the children with open-ended, quality resources to watch their imaginations come to life. Happy days

23.01.2022 The team at Explore Learning would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy New Year We are looking forward to seeing you in 2020!

18.01.2022 What a fun week at Vacation Care! Many excursions, a trip to Stonesthrowe, Beach Outings, Sandcastle Competitions, Yoga, Golf, Tie-Dying, a ride on the North East Trails and so much more! We had many children aged Kinder-Grade 6 come along and we are excited to be able to make sure all of their interests are catered for! Thanks for a fun filled week to all who came and made this program so enjoyable. We sure are looking forward to next week!

17.01.2022 Today we had yummy fresh vegetables and baked enchiladas for lunch! The children love to take ownership over their meal times and help to prepare and serve their own food! We provide all meals and our yummy lunches are always a home-cooked nutritious meal! Here Ollie and Tallon are using the serving spoons to dish their freshly cooked lunch.

17.01.2022 Our children have been loving our new mirror divider! It has been providing a stable resource for the younger ones to pull themselves up on and they love to look at themselves and one another in the mirror, but the favourite thing of all.....is to play peek-a-boo! Wyatt and Lola enjoyed each others company while Wyatts big brother Hunter popped his head up down from the other side! Hunter most definitely got some chuckles out of them! So sweet to watch the social connections developing and the beautiful friendships being made

16.01.2022 A bit of Airtime fun has been had these holidays! The children love to get active and practice their tricks on the tramps!

15.01.2022 It was lovely to share Jayden and Maceys special days in our holiday program! What a fun way to spend your birthday! They both requested their favourite cakes and enjoyed a great day with friends! Who wouldnt love a trip to Derby on the tracks and a bit of Laser Tag on your birthday

14.01.2022 Here at Explore Learning, we are taking the COVID-19 virus very seriously and at this stage we are continuing to operate our business to support the families of our community. Obviously this is a difficult time for all and we are working very closely with the Department. We have put strict measures in place, creating our own COVID-19 Policy, specific for our service to ensure that we are doing everything that we possibly can at this point in time. ... Obviously things are changing quite rapidly and we will continue to be in contact, as we have been with all of our enrolled families. At these times more than ever, a sense of community is important - we are all in this together, so please dont hesitate to reach out to us if you feel we can support you in any way.

12.01.2022 We must say, we are pretty impressed with our Vacation Care Program, which we have just released As we will be utilising our bus service for quite a few of these excursions, it does mean that we do only have a certain number of spots available each day Dont miss out and book to secure your spot today

10.01.2022 Hey everyone, Our first gathering will be Tuesday 10th December. Feel free to come along for a cuppa and a chat. We will be putting updated posts here on our page to let everyone know our gathering dates and times. Our plan is to alternate days with weeks and school terms to give everyone an opportunity to attend. Hope to see you there!

09.01.2022 Thank you to all of the kind families who donated to our Make-A-Wish Foundation fundraiser on Friday We raised $80 which will go towards making wishes come true

09.01.2022 ! We have been lucky enough to incorporate a new dining space and kitchen into our extension and a beautiful one at that! We have a new sleep room which now makes two great rest spaces to ensure all children’s sleep needs are catered for. We have a brand new nappy change space and entry space also. We have designed our spaces to support children’s autonomy and reflect our beliefs that children are capable learners. ...The children can explore through our quiet spaces, settle to some loose parts play and enjoy our large pod swing cubby suspended from the ceiling. They can roam and interact with spaces that support their emerging role play and venture in to our construction area all while engaging with quality resources. We also have a large creative space where children can explore their creativity, expression & wonder. To watch this space come together has been really special. It is where it all began and it has been an evolving journey over many years. To watch it’s growth and to see it be transformed in to what it is today is brings joy and excitement for the future. We are lucky enough to have three beautiful buildings, this one now purposefully designed for our nursery aged children. So very lucky!

07.01.2022 WE INTRODUCE OUR NEW PRE-SCHOOL COTTAGE! The past few months have been very busy, working hard to have our dream of extending on our quality environment for our children become a reality and our new indoor and outdoor spaces are looking absolutely exceptional. The way it has all come together is beyond our dreams and we have no doubt that so many special memories will be made here. Our children and staff have been counting down and we are so excited to finally explore, play ...and have so much fun in our new spaces. Such a great big thank you to our amazing team who have provided endless help and support through this time, going above and beyond. I feel blessed every day to have such a special Explore Learning family, and in times like these it shows how united and supportive our team is. Thank you to Bingley Design & Build for the quality workmanship and making our dream become reality! Your passion for a top quality build is visible throughout the entire property and we truely appreciate your dedication and patience with such a unique job. Thankyou to our community! As a whole, the support and feedback that we have received already about what we are providing for our families is heart-warming and shows true, genuine support is always behind us! We look forward to our future and sharing many more aspects of our spaces with you!

07.01.2022 Throughout the past few years within our community, quite a few Mums in our area have needed more support - and what better way to do this, than come together in a relaxed and supportive space

07.01.2022 I dont think we are alone when we say we are seeing this week out with heavy hearts for all of those affected from our current Australian fires. It is shell-shocking and devastating. The scale of these fires, some of which are still burning out of control, will be one of the biggest fire disasters the world has ever seen. The burnt land mass is in excess of 12 million acres. To put it into perspective, the giant fires in the Amazon were 2.2 million. We have lost over half a ...billion animals, and so sadly 21 human lives with more still missing. Our communities will take decades to re-build. Our hearts go out to all of the people being evacuated from their homes, those who have lost their homes, and sadly those who have lost their loved ones. To all of the selfless heros, our fire fighters, we understand that our fire fighting resources in our country are being strained like never before, with over 100 blazes still active, we thank you all. We need everyone to pray that these fires stop, but unfortunately this is no longer enough. Please donate in any way you can. I have added a list of ways to donate directly to each States Fire Departments and you can also donate to help the communities recover. https://www.redcross.org.au//disaster-relief-and-recovery- You can also choose to donate to help the injured wild life https://www.wwf.org.au/ We have chosen to donate breathing respirators to the fire fighters, also directly to the recovery, and have adopted a Koala. Big or small contributions, I think everyone can see that Australia stands united, and although we have little or no control of the situation at hand, we can give what we can and make such a big impact in other ways. Continue to pray and give people

05.01.2022 Rylan, Olivia and Sydney enjoyed their time working together with Alicia to build a car track for their trucks! They self-initiated swapping and sharing their trucks around, chatting to one another as they worked their way around the track. It is so heart-warming to watch their little bonds flourish We are passionate about providing many quality small-group and individual experiences for our children, to support their interests and development.

04.01.2022 The children at Red Roof have been spending so much time engaging with our open-ended resources, creating the most amazing structures we have ever seen! Indi and Edith had a great time working together using their imaginations to create a bear, a criss-cross, and a balancing rainbow just to name a few! The Grimms resources are a very mindful and high quality toy that should be seen as an investment in to your childs imagination and creativity. Consider these for a wonderful gift to your child this Christmas. Less is *always* more!
