Welcome to Explore & Develop Emu Plains

Such a highly professional and caring organisation. The ‘Transition to School’ event put on by Explore & Develop held at a local venue had such a great mix of local professionals present and a highly qualified panel of experts to help understand the expectations for kindy kids and their parents! It was completely free and so well coordinated. True professionals.

The team at Explore and Develop Emu Plains have provided my children with a safe and nurturing home away from home since they commenced there over two years ago. Over that time my children have been exposed to various experiences that foster their personal interests (from pretend play to sensory exploration), and have developed numerous skills along the way. Perhaps most importantly, the educators at Explore and Develop know my kids and what makes them smile, they validate their emotions, and are there to support them each and every day they are in their care.

⸻ We’ve been part of this daycare family since it opened in 2019, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support our children have received over the years. Both of our kids started in the nursery room—our eldest progressed through to preschool and is now thriving at school, while our youngest is currently enjoying the toddler room. It’s a truly wonderful, family-focused daycare. The environment is always clean, safe, and welcoming, and the staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and professional. Communication is always clear and timely, which gives us great peace of mind. The educators go above and beyond to support each child’s development with thoughtful, individualised learning programs. Most importantly, our children have always had so much fun and look forward to each day. We know they are in the best hands, and we wholeheartedly recommend this daycare to any family looking for a nurturing and high-quality early learning environment.

My family has been at Explore and Develop Emu Plains since it opened. We have felt such privilege to become part of the community at E&D and have always felt comfortable having our children in their care. We have developed such strong relationships with the Educators and genuinely appreciate the love and care our children have received over the years! Would definitely recommend!

Outstanding centre. A genuine focus on relationship with both you, and the children. A relaxed, well laid out centre with different rooms for all ages groups. Always attentive to issues and creative with new opportunities for child focused initiatives such as excursions to the local aged care or primary school, incursions for cultural experiences and more. Also really good with multiple photos and child focused updates in their app every day.
