Explore & Develop Leichhardt Centre overview
Explore & Develop Leichhardt, Early Education and Care Centre, is conveniently located in the vibrant heart of this Inner West suburb.
Retaining the beautiful rustic integrity of a former warehouse, this purpose built conversion provides a unique and inspiring environment for all children from 6 weeks to 6 years of age.
The centre is privately owned and operated by local mothers, both of whom are passionate about encouraging children to imagine, explore, discover and create. Opportunities for this are provided through a full and active program delivered by qualified and experienced educators.
Explore & Develop Leichhardt has a comprehensive preschool ‘school readiness’ program, implementing the same curriculum of the ‘Early Years Learning Framework’ (EYLF) used in preschool only centres.
The framework has specific emphasis on play based learning to develop a positive predisposition to learning.
With multiple outdoor areas, the architecturally designed play spaces specifically cater for different age groups to promote the development of gross motor skills, an appreciation of the natural environment and stimulating sensory challenges.
We appreciate that for most children, our centre will be the first education and care environment that they encounter. With this in mind, our aim is to foster a welcoming and home-like ambiance, where the children and their families feel a sense of security and belonging.

Under Belinda and Alison's leadership, the calibre of educators at E&D is exceptional. Having experienced several daycare centres previously, we can confidently say that their educational program and operational excellence are unmatched. The thought leadership in education is evident in their planning and implementation of daily activities that encourage play-based learning. It gives us peace of mind knowing our boys are in such capable hands - their enthusiasm to attend daycare each morning speaks volumes about the nurturing environment at E&D. Kim & Del Read more

That is surely why they have attracted a talented and dedicated team of long-standing staff. This is a warm and friendly environment where the Educators greet parents on a first name basis and where they are never too busy for a chat. My 4yo and 9mo are always happy to attend and they come home with a smile. One of the best choices I've made as a parent is to enrol my kids here. The waitlist was long but worth the wait because this is truly an excellent day care facility that goes above and beyond! Read more
