So happy we came across Explore & Learn. We are currently in term 4 and have absolutely loved the experience. My child can’t wait to go each week and has come so far with his letter recognition, reading and writing during his time here. If you are looking for a program to prepare your child for school, Explore & Learn is it.

My daughter absolutely loves Explore and Learn! She goes every week and would go every day if she could. The classroom is beautiful, Karen has such creative ideas, and they’re so generous about sharing photos and updates of all the fun activities. It’s truly her favorite place to be!

I highly recommend the Explore and Learn School Readiness program. It’s a fun, engaging and structured program and the teachers are amazing. My kid is looking forward to going there every week. I am very happy to see him improving his Literacy, Numeracy, and social skills.

We find Explore and Learn’s teaching methods are highly valuable to children, as they place their emphasis on teaching students the strategies to solve problems instead of making sure they know how to answer the questions. Karen is patient and kind, and very flexible – she tailored the course to my little one’s ability, she’s more advanced in maths hence Karen offered for her to join the older class. We will definitely recommend her as a teacher to anyone who is keen to improve their literacy and numeracy.

My daughter attends Maths sessions with Karen and has made a huge improvement in her ability to answer her teacher’s questions and complete school assessments. Even though it is a small group lesson, Karen spends time to tailor to each child’s math ability. We are very happy with Explore and Learn. For us, it is not just about getting good academic results – it is also about the teachers taking time to build a good relationship with the kids so that they can inspire them to learn and be interested in the subject. Thank you Karen for helping my daughter learn and improve!

Excellent! They are really nice and kind teachers. Ms Karen is my son’s teacher and she helped him a lot to improve in English and Maths. I really appreciate her support for that. He loves to go to her class. The teachers have a good bonding between parents, kids and them. Following up each term with a progress report. It helps to understand my child where he is.
