20 YEARS OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Congratulations to Irene, owner operator of Explore & Develop Parramatta, on reaching your incredible 20-year milestone.

It's all of the people involved who make this milestone so special. Your educators who have shared in your journey, the families who have placed their trust in you and the many children whose early years have been shaped by the care, relationships and experiences they have had at your service.

While your service has grown and evolved over the past 20 years, it is clear that your commitment to providing a nurturing, inclusive and safe place for children and families has remained at the heart of everything you do.

We are so proud to have you as part of the Explore & Develop group and grateful for the knowledge, experience and contribution you continue to bring to our community.

Congratulations on 20 years and we look forward to celebrating everything still to come!

It was a pleasure to support the recent Early Childhood Australia Conference (Holding the Past, Creating the Future), once again as delegates and name tag sponsors.
As always, it was a valuable event and we came away feeling inspired and proud to be part of the early childhood education and care sector.
Thank you to the team from ECA for the tireless work you do to advocate for our sector., showcase brilliant pedagogy and ensure the voices of educators are heard.

20 YEARS OF COMMUNITY

Congratulations to Michelle & Jayne, owners of Explore & Develop Breakfast Point on 20 years of providing quality education and care to your community.

We thank you both - along with your longstanding team of professional educators led by the wonderful Rebecca - for your contribution to the Explore & Develop group and the early childhood sector.

For 20 years, you've been part of the lives of so many children and families, and in doing so have become embedded into the fabric of your local community. We have loved hearing all of the stories, reflections and core memories shared by the families, children, educators and fellow local businesses who have been part of your journey.

We look forward to continuing to support you for many more years of education, care and collaboration.

Are you looking for a workplace that values you as a professional educator?

A limited number of opportunities are currently available for early childhood professionals across our group of independently owned-and-operated services.

As small, local services that are part of a larger collaborative group, working at Explore & Develop really does offer the best of both worlds.

Be part of a close-knit local team led with genuine commitment by the owner of your service, while also having access to the professional resources, training and collaboration opportunities that come with being part of the broader Explore & Develop group.

Could one of these opportunities be the right fit for you? Visit our website to find out more.

It's always a thought-provoking day when the Educational Leaders get together from across our group of independently owned-and-operated services.... and even more so when the brilliant Ella de la Motte pops by.

With collaboration one of our core values, we support Explore & Develop services to regularly get-together to share ideas, discuss challlenges and enjoy connection.

Its all part of our focus on continuous improvement and our commitment to supporting our services to deliver the highest quality early childhood education and care to their communities.

We had a fantastic day at the recent NSW Early Years Nature Connections conference held in stunning Little Bay.

It was a wonderful opportunity to hear from inspiring speakers, connect with fellow early childhood professionals and explore the important role nature plays in children’s learning and wellbeing.

Among the presenters was the team from Explore & Develop Annandale who shared their work on 'Mapping as Language' and 'Provoking Environmental Advocacy.'

We are very proud to continue our ongoing support of this wonderful organisation and the important work it does to champion nature play and sustainability.

This Early Childhood Educators Day, we say THANK YOU you to all of the hardworking, professional and skilled educators working across the Explore & Develop group.

The work you do supporting children's learning and development is so important and you deserve recognition for your professionalism and skills.

We would also like to recognise all of the independent owner-operators of Explore & Develop services, who provide quality environments and positive workplace cultures for your educators to thrive in.

It was a privilege to be part of the recent Nurturing the Next Generation – The First 2000 Days Conference hosted by our long-time partners, Tresillian Early Parenting.

Bringing together clinicians, researchers and early childhood professionals, the conference highlighted the importance of collaborative, evidence-informed practice in supporting infants, children and families.

Among the conference presenters was owner operator of Explore & Develop Baulkham Hills, Merran, who shared a poster presentation on infant pedagogy which detailed how respectful, relationship-based approaches support babies’ wellbeing, development and sense of security in the early years.

Our team enjoyed connecting with delegates and sharing more about what we do at Explore & Develop. Thank you to the entire Tresillian team for your ongoing partnership and for the fantastic day of cross-sector learning.

The brilliant team from Explore & Develop Conder recently filmed this video with Early Childhood Australia to celebrate our sector for Early Learning Matters Week.

They perfectly captured the importance of advocating for our sector, for play and for the value of early childhood educators.

13/08/2026

This morning we celebrated Early Learning Matters Week at Parliament House alongside Early Childhood Australia, , the LEGO Group, the Minderoo Foundation and the wonderful team from Play School.

We were once again an official Champion of Early Learning Matters Week to support this year's ‘Learning Through Play’ theme, which aligns strongly with our organisation’s core purpose.

Throughout the week, our group of independently owned and operated services have celebrated and highlighted the important role of play in early education, showcasing the depth of learning that takes place through everyday play experiences.

We’re incredibly proud of all Explore & Develop service owners and their professional teams, who work hard to create meaningful, play-based learning experiences that make a positive and lasting impact on children, families and communities.
