I have always been wanting to share my thoughts on working at Explorers Essendon. Just didn’t want ppl to think I’m biased coz I work there ;) Now I am about to leave Australia, so here I am🥺 I have been to many centres, either as a student doing placement or as a casual employee, and this one, is definitely the best!From the start, the vibe here has always been so positive and supportive. The management team is amazing – they genuinely care about us, and it’s clear they prioritize our mental health and well-being. They’re always understanding and do their best to accommodate any needs, which makes such a difference to the overall work environment. When you feel supported, it’s so much easier to do your best and give the kids the care they deserve. Thank you Ferah, Ash, Jordan, Simone, Jess🥺 I will miss you guys Speaking of the kids, the level of care here is incredible. There’s always enough staff in each room, and sometimes extra hands to help out. I’ve been to places where the bare minimum staffing ratios were NOT even followed (sadly), and it’s honestly very stressful. But at Explorers Essendon, there’s always time to connect with the kids, get involved in their activities, and really engage with them. The team is patient, caring, and always there for the kids – even on the busiest days. From a psychology student perspective, seeing every child receives the individual attention they need is incredibly rewarding, as I know how important early childhood is in shaping their development and future wellbeing. I remember walking in on my first day, not knowing how to change a nappy, and the staff were so patient and kind, teaching me everything step by step. Now, I feel confident and capable with kids of all ages, and I’ve grown so much during my time here. As I get ready to leave, I just want to say thank you to everyone at Explorers Essendon. It’s been such a rewarding experience, and I’ll always remember the lessons, the support, and the love I’ve received here. If you’re thinking about joining this centre, you won’t regret it. 🥺❤️ Read more

This centre can’t accomodate all children in the correct rooms. 2-3 children remain in the same room over 2 years, separating friendship groups and relationships established from the prior year. Current directors at this service didn’t address or follow up my concerns. Most of the educators are lovely although centre had a high turnover of educators. Read more
