Explore & Develop Waitara is a family-owned and operated service, supported by a long term and dedicated team of educators. Our play-based approach fosters a strong sense of belonging, encouraging children to explore their interests, build meaningful relationships, and develop confidence in a nurturing environment. We are committed to preparing children for school while celebrating individuality, embracing diversity, and inspiring a lifelong love of learning.
We implement a play-based curriculum guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, designed to nurture each child’s growth and development. Our educators observe children to understand their interests, strengths, and emerging skills, using these insights to shape our weekly programs.
We place a strong focus on communication and language development (including early literacy and numeracy), social and emotional growth, and physical development and coordination. Our thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor environments support all areas of learning, while our 'Transition to School' program helps prepare children with the social and emotional skills needed for a confident and successful start to primary school.
