The facility is clean, safe, and equipped with so many engaging activities that keep the kids excited about learning. They do a great job of balancing playtime with structured learning, and we love the updates and pictures they share throughout the day.
What sets explorers apart is the genuine love and passion the team has for what they do. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our child is in such a nurturing environment. I highly recommend explorers to any parent looking for exceptional care and education for their little ones!
Great management team and educators
I'm proud to be apart of Explorers and proud to come to work everyday! 💚
What can I say about this wonderful place with wonderful people. My son has been going here for past 1.5 years and it has been amazing. He is well looked after, he has learnt so much and is encouraged to participate in all the fun learning activities held at the center.
All the educators have been very supportive and amazing. Special call out to Kira, Maddy, Bhagya, Amy, Kiara, Lu, Harriet, Ma with whom we have interacted frequently, but every educator is amazing there!
The main reason why I discontinued my son from his previous Day Care centre was the management there even though educators were good! The management were pretty rude and did not care much. However, here it is amazing under Monique, Emily. Megan has been great as well.
So, in short everything about this centre is amazing and my son has learnt and grown a lot since he joined here.
Thank you!
A daycare is really driven by the staff and the educators, and the reality is that everyone on the roster is caring and kind and expensive thoughtful.
There are plenty of activities and learning opportunities for the little ones to grow and thrive and become little humans in their own way, and above all else safety is at the top of everyone's mind.
Highly recommend the center for all residents looking for a great place for our most precious gifts.
The teachers there are so caring and kind. They really take good care of the kids and help them learn and grow every day. My son loves going there, and I can see how much he’s learning and having fun. It's a great place where kids are happy and well taken care of. Highly recommend 👍
