We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Explore & Develop. The staff are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable, making it a welcoming environment for our child and us as parents. The frequent, comprehensive updates keep us well-informed about our child’s day, which is so reassuring. The facilities are always clean, tidy, and inviting, and the meals prepared on-site offer a great variety each week. Its convenient location is a bonus, and as a small centre, it provides wonderful one-on-one support and engaging play opportunities for our child. Highly recommend!

A very welcoming childcare centre that communicates consistently. The staff are very supportive and provide detailed updates of an afternoon. The food they serve is healthy and the activities the children engage in throughout the day provide opportunity to learn through exploration. All staff have formed a positive relationship with my child, so she now skips into the centre and is happy to see everyone.

Our child has been here since he was 8 months old- the staff are fantastic, caring and really invested in our child's development. The outdoor (but undercover) play area is huge with so many different zones for the children to play. Love having the meals provided - it takes a lot of the stress out of the day.
Located in the heart of Newcastle, Explore & Develop King Street offers early childhood education and care for children aged 6 months to 5 years.
Our centre is architecturally designed, with three purpose-built indoor learning environments and a large outdoor playground, which features a creative art space.
Our centre is owned and operated by early childhood professional, Suzanne Chiha.
Our program and philosophy align with the Walker Learning approach, an evidence-based pedagogy that emphasises the significance of learning through play, intentional teaching, and the importance of building strong connections with our children.
We aim to create a welcoming, home-like environment, which helps the children to develop a sense of belonging and connection with the educators and the centre. We always encourage collaboration with families and welcome their input into our program.
Our outdoor learning environment provides a unique space for children to develop their curiosity and creativity while encouraging exploration, inquiry and discovery. Our aim is to foster independence, resilience, and help children grow into confident learners who are prepared for life.
We believe in the importance of learning through play, where children can learn at their own pace in their own way. Play creates a calm neurological space for children, allowing for optimal development. Every child has the right to experience the outdoors and breathe fresh air which contributes to their wellbeing.
We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Explore & Develop King Street.
