It’s the beginning of a career with Explorers Early Learning, a founder-led and women-led organisation that has transformed what early learning can be. Since opening our first centre in 2004, our founder Lynda Salvo has set out to create places where children, families, and educators all thrive together. Today, that vision has grown into a network of centres recognised for raising standards in quality education, team development, and authentic Reggio Emilia practice. We know that when educators feel inspired and supported, the impact on children is extraordinary. That’s why we put as much focus on your growth as we do on theirs: with tailored professional development, leadership pathways, and a culture of belonging that you won’t find anywhere else.
