📍Macarthur Out Of School Hours Care (OOSHC) The attention to detail in our centres are unsurpassed. Our playgrounds are special and incorporate natural play spaces, with endless opportunities for exploration and imaginative play. There is an open, relaxed atmosphere where we cater for each child's intellectual, aesthetic, ethical, social, emotional and physical development, for the best start to education cradled in a Christian environment. We aim to create a stimulating, attractive, supportive and responsible environment which is conducive to learning. Exploring Tree Centers are inspired by a range of perspectives and approaches to early childhood education that are innovative, inclusive and invigorating. We hold that children are strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge and flourish in all their diversities and differences. Every child brings with them deep curiosity and potential that drives all kinds of possibilities to understand their world and their place within it. We have designed our centres through consultation with children, families, educators, early childhood experts, the National Quality Standard and Early Years Learning Framework. The opportunities for your child include: arts, music, numeracy and literacy languages, technology, and sustainability education. Our interest and concern for your child is foremost at all times, so please feel free to speak with staff at any time. We believe that every child is a miracle from God. As such, we strive for each child to be treated as such, in an environment which upholds Christian values. We want every child to know that God loves them unconditionally and has a special purpose for their life. Children benefit from a close understanding between centre educators and families in the nurturing process. Our educators recognise the importance of families being the primary influence in their child's life and therefore strive to continually develop and maintain close links with the home and family. We encourage family participation in all areas of the program according to their individual needs, interests and opportunities. Families are encouraged, by newsletters and direct discussion, to form a close association with the centre. We encourage family involvement in events and meetings. Please see any of our educators if you would like to be more involved in any way. The centres have a high level security and surveillance system in every room, which ensures peace of mind. All visitors must enter through our reception area, and access to the classrooms is impossible without our staff. Exploring Tree centres are fully registered, licensed and accredited, and meets the requirements of Camden Council, the Department of Community Services, and the Board of Fire Commissioners.

Some traditions become part of the heart of who you are. ✨

Way back in 2018, Exploring Tree began creating our own Vivid-inspired events for our children and families.

What started as a special idea from children, quickly became something we all looked forward to — evenings filled with light, wonder, creativity and the joy of seeing children’s learning come to life in the most magical way.

Over the years, these events have created so many beautiful memories. Children proudly sharing their ideas and creations, families wandering through glowing spaces together, and our teams transforming learning into something that could be seen, felt and experienced.

There is something incredibly special about looking back and remembering where this tradition began — and seeing how it has grown alongside our children, families and Exploring Tree community.

For us, it has never just been about the lights.

It has always been about celebrating childhood, honouring children’s learning, bringing families together and creating moments that stay with us long after the lights are switched off. 💫

A little Exploring Tree tradition that began in 2018… and still feels just as magical today.

A huge thank you to Antico Woodfired Pizza for the incredibly thoughtful delivery of delicious pizza sandwiches for our educators. 🤎

Such a kind and generous gesture, and one that was very much appreciated by our team.

The pizza sandwiches were absolutely amazing, and it was so lovely to have our educators spoiled in this way.

We are always grateful for local businesses who show such genuine kindness and generosity to others.

If you haven’t tried Antico yet, we can absolutely recommend them — beautiful food and beautiful people. Thank you again for thinking of our team! 🍕🥪✨

We had to share this beautiful letter from one of our families. 💚
What makes it even more special is that the playground items were hand drawn by the family, with their daughter carefully directing exactly what needed to be included.

There is something so lovely about seeing our environments through a child’s eyes, the places they remember, the things they love, and the little details that have become part of their story.

Moments like this remind us that the environments we create are so much more than spaces. They become part of childhood memories, relationships and a child’s sense of belonging.

The family based their beautiful letter on the sentiment of the well-known reflective piece, “Welcome to Holland” which is about expecting one life journey and unexpectedly finding yourself on another.

It describes preparing excitedly for a trip to Italy, only to discover that the plane has landed in Holland. At first, there is disappointment and grief because Holland is not where you planned to go. You may still hear others talking about Italy and wonder what that experience would have been like.

But over time, you begin to notice that Holland has its own beauty, different scenery, different experiences and different things to love.

The message is that when life does not unfold as expected, particularly when raising a child with additional needs, there can be genuine grief for the future you imagined. But there can also be joy, meaning, love and beauty in the life you actually have.

We were incredibly moved by their words, particularly their beautiful reflection that we are their tulips.

To be seen in that way by a family is something very special. It speaks to the relationships, care, belonging and trust that sit at the heart of what we do.

We are so proud of our team and so grateful to this family for allowing us to be part of their journey and for sharing something so personal and meaningful with us.

💚 This week at Exploring Tree Oran Park, as part of Child Protection Week, we focused on helping children build their understanding of safety, emotions, and ways they can seek help when they need it.

The educator read the book You’ve Got This, written by Jess Sanders and illustrated by Irina Avgustinovich. The story explores how children and adults can sometimes feel scared, worried, or upset and may find it hard to talk about how they are feeling.

It also introduces simple ways to help children feel calm, safe, and supported, such as talking to trusted adults, family members, and educators, or taking part in activities that help them feel relaxed.

Following the story, Ms Varsha invited the children to talk about things that can make them feel worried and the people, places, and activities that help them feel safe. The children shared their own experiences and ideas, talking about times they may have felt upset and who or what helped them feel better.

During group time, the children continued their conversation about safety and emotions. They confidently answered questions about what helps keep them safe and what might make them feel scared, worried, or upset.
To build on this learning, Ms Varsha invited the children to create a “Sense of Security Circle”, where they drew the people, places, and things that make them feel safe, happy, and supported.

The children were excited to share their ideas through their drawings, including their families, teachers, school, parks, flowers, butterflies, and many other things that bring them comfort and help them feel safe.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Exploring Tree 💙

Today we celebrate and give thanks for all the wonderful fathers, grandfathers, stepdads, uncles, carers, mentors and special father figures who bring love, guidance, strength and encouragement into the lives of children.

Families come in many different forms, and today is a beautiful opportunity to recognise the people who show up, care deeply, teach, protect, encourage and help children feel safe and loved.

To all the father figures in our Exploring Tree community — thank you for the difference you make, often in ways you may never fully realise.

Wishing you a very special Father’s Day, surrounded by love and appreciation. 💙

Every day, our educators are there for the little moments that mean so much helping a child settle in, joining in on play, reading stories, having a laugh and being there when they need a little extra help.

We’re so thankful for the care and time you give our children each day.
Thank you for everything you do. We hope you know how much you’re appreciated.
Happy Educators’ Day! 💚
