Early Childhood Education and Care

EXPLORE & DEVELOP

GREATER PENRITH REGION


At Explore & Develop, we treasure the time it takes children to grow, and believe that all children should have the opportunity to develop at their own rate, in their own time and that learning should occur in an unrushed environment. We provide a haven for everyday discovery and learning. Our environments are natural and we offer daily programs that reflect a calm, relaxed and unrushed environment for growing and learning.

Our aim is to provide a welcoming home like environment where children and families feel they belong and they are part of a community. A place where children and families alike can relax, be comfortable and know that their voice is respected, valued and never judged.

We value the knowledge and experience of our teams and their dedication to providing education and care environments that are enriching and meaningful to the children within them. We carry with us the belief that children learn through play within environments that are thoughtfully created and with learning opportunities in the foresight.

Our services are owned and operated by passionate professionals who are on site daily ensuring high quality education and care. We value the commitment, dedication, and professionalism of our educators and their desire to give every child a great start in life.

We invite you to come on a tour and see for yourself why our parents say that we are the best early education and care centres in the Penrith region.
