The curriculum

The 7 core areas of learning

Targeting the holistic development of our under 5’s

  • Focus is on school readiness

    School readiness, a pivotal developmental phase for children aged 2 to 5, establishes the bedrock for future academic success. At Explorers, we prioritize this crucial period by fostering essential cognitive, social, and emotional skills. Through tailored learning experiences that emphasize language development, early literacy, numeracy, and social interaction, we aim to instill a love for learning which allows for a seamless transition to formal education. School readiness is integral to cultivating well-rounded individuals who are not only academically prepared but also equipped for a lifetime of success.

  • Child-led

    Optimal learning for children occurs when they are granted the freedom to explore and acquire knowledge at a pace tailored to their individual needs. By attentively tuning into the unique requirements of each child, we meticulously design our curriculum to align with their interests, nurturing their innate curiosity. We firmly believe that this approach not only enhances comprehension but also cements new information more effectively.
