Hervey Bay Kindergarten & Daycare: A Magical World of Learning & Play

Your little explorer deserves the best. A welcoming sanctuary where they can play, learn, and ignite a lifelong love of discovery. At Bay Explorers Early Learning Centres in Hervey Bay and Deception Bay, we offer just that.

Our beautifully appointed, purpose-built spaces spark their imagination and encourage exploration. Lush rainforest creek beds and towering trees shade our spacious playscapes.

But it's more than just the setting. Our qualified Educators partner with you to support your little one's journey, every hop, skip and jump of the way. So let's ditch the pristine pick-up, embrace the grass-stained knees, tangled hair and messy fun-covered clothes, and go on a big adventure together!

Hear from Our Families

Bay Explorers

quotation-mark Laughter, Fun & Recommended “As you walk by each room you see the children happily playing and the teachers enthusiastically engaging with them. The playground is full of laughter and fun. My daughter literally runs to her class every single day. She is learning so much from her teachers and friends and we are so grateful for the effort they put into her early learning. I highly recommend this centre for anyone considering childcare.”

Bay Explorers

quotation-mark Kind and Supportive “From the first moment we stepped into Bay Explorers Early Learning we were met with the kindest most supportive educators and administrators. The team have created a beautiful environment for the kids to play, learn and grow. Our daughter has blossomed! She has grown so confident since attending and loves all the activities and learning through play. She has developed such wonderful bonds with her teachers and now wants us to drop her off every day. The team go the extra mile to make sure I’m always updated on her day and her development. I couldn’t recommend this kindy more.”

Bay Explorers

quotation-mark Excited to Attend “Highly recommend! My little girl has been attending Bay Explorers since she was 6months old. I cannot fault the service. The communication is always wonderful; the staff are happy to answer questions/queries, they offer updates and progress for the day/week/semester. Not only do I give the centre high praise, but so does my daughter, who is always excited to attend, learn and comes home after an activity filled day happy. I fully trust the staff and centre to have the best interest for my little girl.”

Come Say “Hello!”

We believe in the messy, muddy and magnificent. That's why we don't schedule tours. Instead, we invite you to experience the raw joy of our centres firsthand. Come visit, meet our Educators and see our little Explorers in action.
