Testimonials.

After attending Early Explorers group with my now one year old, I would highly recommend it! The activities are very well planned and executed. You can tell that so much care and thought has gone into every aspect. My baby had lots of fun and I appreciated the opportunity for her to experience sensory activities I wouldn’t necessarily do at home. She would also sleep like a dream afterwards from having so much fun.

Early Explorers was a game changer for me as a new parent. The sensory activities brought my son so much joy and inspired me with ideas for home. Most of all, I loved discovering his love for water and nature - now, we take regular nature walks, admiring trees and plants. This program has given us wonderful memories and I can’t recommend it enough!

We loved our first Term at Early Explorers. Each country is a new experience! The various sensory activities were so nourishing, fun and stimulating for both me and my baby!

10/10 recommend! We absolutely love this program. I’m super busy and also really struggled to provide the sensory experience at home for my little one. It was so great to have the hard work done as well as get to socialise with other parents and be around other kids of a similar age. I found that my baby was watching and learning off the other babies. Also massive bonus is the incredible pictures you get interacting with your bub and the activities! The Christmas special worth an extra mention!

Amanda K.
We loved attending Early Explorers! Each week brought a new, engaging, and age-appropriate theme that my nearly 1-year-old absolutely enjoyed. The sensory and water experiences were a highlight, supporting his development in a fun and educational way. We always looked forward to our sessions and highly recommend it to anyone considering a baby-friendly experience. Can’t wait for next time!

Kalinda K.
Early Explorers was a fantastic experience for both me and my little one! The sensory activities kept him engaged, even with his fleeting attention span and everything was thoughtfully designed to support his development. It was clear that each activity had a purpose, making the sessions both meaningful and fun. The keepsakes were so precious and we walked away with great ideas to try at home!

Hi, I’m Carlé!

A Mum of 2, a Teacher and a big fan of all things music, sport, travel and adventure!

It wasn’t until I became a Mum that I truly discovered the magic of sensory play. When my daughter was born, I quickly realised she was a sensory seeker - constantly craving different textures, movement and hands-on experiences. Watching her thrive through messy play and sensory activities opened my eyes to just how powerful these experiences are for development, emotional regulation and confidence.

With 16 years experience in Early Childhood and Secondary Education I knew the importance of play, but seeing it firsthand with my daughter pushed me deeper into this space. I wanted to create a program where babies and toddlers could explore, engage and grow through sensory-rich play and where parents and caregivers could experience the joy of learning alongside them.

I believe in play with purpose - every session is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and create special bonding moments for children and their caregivers.

I’m so excited for this journey and I can’t wait to welcome you and your little explorer on this wild, wonderful adventure!

Hi, I’m Mary!

A proud mum to my one-year-old son, Noah, and a passionate educator with a background in primary and secondary Physical Education teaching.

I have always been in awe of young children and their ability to learn and absorb new things. This along with my love of hands on teaching, I’m so excited to bring that passion to our baby sensory and development programs.

Since becoming a mum and experiencing my first year of parenthood, I’ve come to realise just how important bonding with your child is during the early years. My hope is that our interactive program not only brings parents and their little ones closer but also empowers them to continue these meaningful activities at home.

Cooking and sharing food with family and friends is one of my favourite ways to connect and I can’t wait to build the same sense of community with the wonderful families joining our programs.

I look forward to meeting you and your little ones, watching them learn, grow and explore the world through play!
