Did you know? Research shows that self-regulation skills—like impulse control, attention, and emotional regulation—are stronger predictors of school success than early math or literacy skills. And guess what helps kids develop self-regulation? PLAY
When kids engage in child-led play, they practice managing emotions, solving problems, and navigating social interactions—all essential skills for life and learning.

Help keep our community safe
NSW Health is closely monitoring the COVID-19 situation in Early Childhood Education Centres (ECEC). Many ECECs have been affected by cases of COVID-19 resulting in temporary closure of centres and isolation of both staff and children and their families. People infected with COVID-19 can become very sick.
At this time, NSW Health is strongly urging the community to keep their children at home to reduce the risk of infection and transmission of COVID-19 in ECEC across NSW, unless they need to be at an ECEC.

How every child can thrive by five "What if I was to tell you that a game of peek-a-boo could change the world?" asks seven-year-old Molly Wright, one of the youngest-ever TED speakers. Breaking down the research-backed ways parents and caregivers can support children's healthy brain development, Wright highlights the benefits of pla...
Young Explorers embraces the child as a capable, confident, creative and active learner.
We believe children are best served by drawing perspective and insight from many different disciplines, philosophers and pedagogy, from Australia and overseas. We stay up to date with the ongoing research into early childhood, regularly assess and examine our processes and practices in the light of new ideas, and seek to integrate the best elements.
Children are neither vessels to be filled nor people whose time must be occupied; they are strong, capable, and resilient researchers, exploring themselves and their environment. Children have the ability, dexterity, and passion to devour knowledge, requiring only the freedom to explore and experiment. We are nurturers and caregivers, providing a safe environment for this exploration to take place, but we are also collaborators and co-researchers.
We recognise that children are competent individuals, each of whom we seek to know and respect. We gain insight into both the characteristics and the interests of each child through collaborating with parents, listening to the child, and observing their actions and interactions. Based on these discoveries we build environments and opportunities for them to safely explore and develop their thoughts and understandings and to express these in any of the hundred languages for children, which include drawing, sculpture, dramatic play, movement and music.
