At Little Explorers, we believe that the right start for children in their new environment is essential for ongoing success. Orientation gives you a glimpse into Little Explorers' early learning programs and facilities and helps you become familiar with our educational programs. Also, this is an excellent opportunity to get to know the staff a little and pass on any information they will need to know about your child(ren). So that you can be assured your child(ren) will receive the highest quality of care and education whilst you are away. After the enrolment process is complete, an orientation session will take place to give you and your child(ren) a first-hand experience of all that it offers. We strongly recommend that all new families complete a few orientation sessions in the weeks leading up to your child(ren) 's first day at Little Explorers.
Little Explorers is a name that families can trust, where our people thrive and our children flourish. But do not
just take our word for it; come on to the centre and take a first-hand look at all we have to offer.
Contact us to arrange an initial visit and tour of the Little Explorers Learning Centre. Our professional
educators and staff will take you through the carefully curated and selected learning environments, facilities,
and resources. They will tell you how our signature early educational programs are implemented within the
centre. They will also discuss the centre's essential policies, procedures, and offerings with you and any
questions you may have about the centre, our staff, or your child.
Once you and your child(ren) are happy with our premier early education and care offering, you can feel
confident enrolling in Little Explorers Learning Centre. We understand the value of positive partnerships with
our families and the wider community and the significance early education plays in the first five years of a
child's life.
Call us to discuss the process, and we will give your child the best possible start, setting them up for a lifelong
love of learning.
Once your child(ren) is enrolled, an official orientation occurs. This is an opportunity for you and your
child(ren) to become familiar with Little Explorers and our educational programs.
During the orientation visits, the parents only stay for a short time, and the child(ren) stays with us for about
one to two hours, playing and interacting with their peers.
You can discuss with centre director about specific needs, personality, areas for further development, goal
setting and routine. You can also meet Little Explorers' passionate educators, participate in their room routines
and discuss any questions about our programs or how we operate.
Also, this is an opportunity for our educators to understand better your child(ren) and their daily routine,
which will help support their sense of belonging and make the transition from home as seamless as possible.
Let us help your child experience the love of learning the natural way.
