A Fresh Chapter with Familiar Values

This year, Seaside Explorers began a new journey under the care of Candis, her husband Kurt, and their three boys. With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, Candis brings passion, resilience, and a deep understanding of what families need.

Her story is rooted in both professional expertise and personal experience as a mum. After leading Bossy Boots Early Learning in Kingscliff, she and her family chose Yamba as the next place to nurture children and build a thriving community.

Candis’ vision is simple: to create a centre where families feel supported, educators feel valued, and every child flourishes.

Every Child is Unique

At Seaside Explorers, we believe children are full of potential, curiosity, and creativity. Our philosophy centres on safety, trust, and belonging.

We:

Celebrate individuality and diversity.

Foster strong relationships with families.

Honour Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.

Provide a safe, nurturing space where children thrive.

Together, we create a learning environment where every child feels seen, heard, and valued.

Inspired by the Coast, Designed for Children

Our classrooms and outdoor areas reflect the beauty of Yamba’s coastline. With nature play spaces, ocean-inspired learning environments, and safe, welcoming rooms, children feel both secure and inspired to explore.
