Explore & Develop Penrith South fosters an emergent curriculum. Generally speaking, this means that when educators program and plan for children they are using children’s interests to do this. Explore & Develop Penrith South have a play-based learning style which allows children to explore, wonder and be curious in their environment. This supports children to problem solve, think rationally, use skills of trial and error, and much more.
The benefits of play can be seen as a positive approach to learning that accommodates for educator involvement. This is important as we believe that educator involvement is crucial to support each individual child in their learning. Through play and exploring their interests, children learn to be independent in their learning however recognise when they need assistance. This, in turn, allows for educators to foster and scaffold children’s learning.
Another component of our curriculum which is very important to us, is creating time for our families. We feel by doing this we are helping them feel comfortable and welcome which also allows for a connection to the child’s home which fundamentally links the child’s beliefs, culture and facilitates communication.

After great experiences with my niece and nephew attending this centre, I had full confidence enrolling my twin boys knowing they would have only the best care. From the initial walk through I had such a wonderful feeling about the centre with the educators displaying their willingness to build a bond with the children with lots of cuddles and one on one time. Both of my boys absolutely loved this daycare and I will genuinely miss seeing all of the educators and the lovely chef donna most days . I really do owe this centre for helping me raise my boys to be so confident. The bond they had/have with their teachers is incredible and I would not give this centre anything less then a 5 star Thank you Read more

Immediately I felt such a sense of love and warmth when conducting our orientation 2years ago. Educators continue to go above and beyond to create safe, supportive and engaging spaces for the children to thrive and grow. We reluctantly left the Center, to go somewhere more convenient after the birth of our 3rd child only to return because when I say nothing compared I truely mean it! I feel so at peace knowing my children are so loved and supported by all the educators. We love our little Explore and Develop family. Read more

Our experience with Explore & Develop Penrith South has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked into the center, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and welcome. The staff are incredibly attentive, caring, and inviting, making every effort to ensure both our child and we, as parents, feel heard and valued. One of the standout aspects of this center is how well they communicate. Every update or concern is just a phone call away, and they are always ready to address any question, big or small. This level of attentiveness is truly reassuring. What we particularly love about Explore & Develop Penrith South is their approach to settling children. Unlike some places that follow a "drop and go" method, this center encourages parents to stay until their child is settled. On difficult mornings, the staff genuinely care for, love, and comfort the children as if they were their own. This nurturing environment has made a significant positive impact on our child's experience. We are immensely appreciative of the dedicated staff at Explore & Develop Penrith South. They have exceeded all our expectations, and we believe they truly deserve all the good things coming their way. Thank you for everything you do! Read more
