Dr Liu 7 months ago

We were at Explore and Develop from baby room all the way to the preschool room. Our little one had a great time there, with great carers throughout all stages. At Every single stage of our child's development we were lucky enough to have carers who just went out of their way to engage with the kids with various developmental activities, excursions and incursions (for e.g. Thursday sports where Coach Al comes for a sports coaching) Very happy to recommend them to other parents.

Paul and all the staff here are exceptional! They provided a fun learning environment for our son that was safe. The food provided was also exceptional with a wide variety of food provided while remaining conscious of food allergies. Overall a great experience! Thank you Paul.

My child has been very fortunate to have spent her childcare years at Explore and Develop Castlereagh St. The following was my family's Thank You message to Paul and his team earlier this week: "We would like an express our heartfelt thanks to you and your team for having performed such a wonderful role in our child's development over the past few years. We can’t thank you enough for all the efforts - our child is unbelievably fortunate to have been here. To illustrate, during our interview for "Big School" which went extremely well, the interviewer’s feedback was, “Did you notice that your child interacted with every single item we have placed (in a meaningful way)? Your child did not miss a single item.” Hence, kudos again to you and your team for nurturing our child so well over the past few years. Our child is always happy to arrive at Explore and Develop Castlereagh St in the morning, and leaves the centre in the late afternoon happier than in the morning!"

I am incredibly grateful for the support my child received at E&D since she was 1. The staff created wonderful memories with fun excursions and incursions, and worked closely with us to ensure a smooth transition to school, focusing on social skills, early literacy, and emotional resilience. Thanks to the dedication of the educators and Paul’s continuous efforts to improve, my child’s confidence grew, preparing her well for school. She transitioned easily into kindy this year and settled in quickly. I wholeheartedly recommend E&D to any parent seeking a childcare center that invests in their child's growth and development.
