Travel Bugs World Adventure

7 countries • 7 weeks • 7 stickers to collect

This Travel Bugs World Adventure for summer 2025/26 has finished for the season. Here’s everything we got up to!

Over seven fun-filled weeks, children at Green Leaves Early Learning joined us on an unforgettable journey around the globe, discovering the beauty, culture and creativity of seven amazing destinations: Japan, Italy, the North Pole, New Zealand, South Africa, Brazil, and India.

Each destination was brought to life through hands-on learning experiences, creative activities, music and movement, and chef-prepared culinary delights inspired by the week’s featured country. It was a wonderful way for children to learn about the world through play, curiosity and connection.

How our Travel Bugs World Adventure worked

Every child received their very own Travel Bugs Passport to keep track of their adventures. For each week they attended, they earned a country sticker to add to their passport building excitement and a sense of accomplishment as they collected them all. As their passport filled, so too did their imaginations with stories, flavours, friendships and experiences from all around the world.

Providing structured learning and care all year (not just term-time) is beneficial for young children

‘Extensive research indicates that the education and care of young children (from birth to eight years of age) has an immense influence on long-term outcomes related to their cognition, resilience, health and wellbeing’

– Royal Children’s Hospital Melbourne

Maintain positive routines, health and development

‘Children spent 70 minutes extra on screens over holidays unless in structured care. If we add more structure to children’s days in the holidays – regular activities, planned lunch and snack breaks, as well as a limit on the amount of screen time kids have – we could encourage healthier behaviours.’

– University of South Australia

Quality early learning sets children up for success

Australian studies show that children who attend quality early learning programs are more likely to do well at school and in life. Research has found they perform better in literacy and numeracy, have stronger social and emotional skills, and are less likely to face developmental challenges. The key is quality: caring Educators, enriching environments, and meaningful relationships that nurture a child’s confidence and love of learning.
