Explore & Develop

We offer caring and nurturing environments to accommodate the needs of infants through to preschool-aged children. We believe that children develop at their own rate and in their own time. This is why we offer daily programs that reflect a calm, relaxed and unrushed environment for growing and learning. We help children reach their full potential by providing enriching, meaningful and real opportunities for learning and development through emergent educational programs. We believe that children learn as they explore, discover, make, create and imagine. We value constructive play as a tool for learning through our natural environments. We celebrate our differences through acknowledgement and acceptance of diversity within our community. We value the insights and traditions that can be shared, respected, and appreciated within our service. We welcome and value each family and their contribution. Embedded in our culture is the notion that families are a part of our service and are invited to make contributions to all aspects of its operation. We believe that it is important to encourage children to be lifelong learners. As children prepare for their transition to school, Explore & Develop offers specialised programs to support their developing confidence, life skills and abilities.
