About Explore & Develop
Breakfast Point
Explore & Develop Breakfast Point has been fostering Early Childhood Education since 2006. With a strong community presence, our service aims at developing valuable partnerships with our families, our children and the local community. As an exceeding service, we support children’s learning and development by providing a stimulating, encouraging and nurturing environment that is both inclusive and recognises diversity.
Our curriculum and practices are guided by the National Law and Regulations, The Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and the National Quality Standard. Our educators are influenced by play-based learning that incorporates children’s interests, teacher initiated goals and spontaneity. Educators are inspired to create learning areas that are inviting and stimulate curiosity. Children play an active role in developing our curriculum which is supported through on-going planning, analysing, evaluating and reflecting, to ensure meaningful learning is taking place.
We provide children with a safe, homely environment that generates confidence and encourages children to feel empowered. Our healthy, nutritional and diverse menu ensures that children’s nutritional needs are always met.
We recognise the importance of high-quality education. Our experienced and qualified educators are provided with on-going training opportunities and mentoring sessions to ensure learning and practices are current.
We support Early Childhood Education by encouraging children to develop skills that will support their life beyond Explore & Develop.
Owner/Operator

Explore & Develop Breakfast Point has been privately owned and operated by Jayne and Michelle for over 13 years. Both Jayne and Michelle are mothers and have a publishing industry background.

They are passionate about providing quality education and care, and offer a holistic approach towards the well-being of the child, paving the way for a successful transition to school, and for lifelong learning.
Sadly this will be the last year for Knox. After 10 years we have loved every minute having our children with you. The genuine love, care, professionalism and fun Ella, Noah and Knoxy have received at your centre is everything we could have hoped for during their pre-school years. Thank you!
Ian and I want to say thank you so much for your part in making Toby and Anya’s experience at Explore & Develop such a positive one. You really helped them to settle in and we have been particularly pleased that you have had the same high regard to nice manners and good behavior as we try to instill at home. The program you offer is excellent and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone we know. All the staff have been wonderful and the kids will miss everyone.
I cannot speak highly enough of Explore & Develop Breakfast Point, especially all the Bilby and Little Bilby staff who I always find friendly and approachable. It is such a kind, nurturing, and caring environment where my daughter, Alessandra learns so much, more than parents alone can teach her. And I love seeing the different skills she is learning every week from the wonderfully detailed Learning Stories. Explore &Develop has made it a lot easier for me to go back to work part-time, knowing that Alessandra is in such great hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to other parents looking for day care.
I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you both for the magnificent job you and your staff do. Over the years we have been with you both Tim & myself and Angus & Matilda have only had positive experiences. Angus loved the years he spent at the centre and Matilda is experiencing the same quality care. We feel comfortable and re-assured that Matilda is receiving the best care possible whilst we are at work.
Sam is happy at the centre and adores his teachers. He comes home talking about numbers and books, about writing his name and about all the fun activities he does. We really appreciate all that you, and his teachers, do for him.
Thanks!“Long time listener… first time caller”just wanted to say… I just realised a part of my Friday night ritual is reading the learning stories from Kinderloop. Eric and I love seeing the array of activities that our boys get to engage in during the week – they are so lucky. Thank you!
