16.01.2022 Happy Early Learning Matters Week! As we continue to navigate through a difficult time, we would like to take the time to reflect and continue to raise awareness about how vital high-quality early learning is for children. Early childhood education and care contributes to the social, emotional, physical, behavioural and cognitive development of children. Studies have shown the positive impact early learning has on a child in acquiring the skills needed to flourish ...as they enter their next stage of life with confidence and school readiness. We celebrate our children, families and our passionate Explorers team. We are very grateful to all of our understand and supportive families and continue to support them in any way we can.
