ABOUT EXPLORE & DEVELOP

Glenmore Park


Explore & Develop Glenmore Park has, at its foundation, a play-based learning curriculum, within a comfortable and home-like environment where individual child each has a voice. Our program is reflective of The Early Years Learning Framework, and aims to incorporate the learning outcomes that encompass the whole child, including their sense of identity, connections and contributions to the world, sense of well-being, being confident and involved learners, and effective communicators.

Our curriculum is informed by theories of child development and pedagogical practice. Our in-depth theoretical knowledge is reflected throughout our programming, and is embedded in our daily practices. Partnerships with families are valued by our team of skilled educators, who work to form strong and meaningful relationships that support the individual child.
