Explore & Develop Breakfast Point - Early Learning Centre

Our 4.5yo son has been attending since he was only 7 months old. He has grown into a well behaved, considerate, curious, socially conscious little man. It's in no small part due to the care provided by the staff at E&D. He loves his teachers and always has great things to say about his school.

Nice to speak to over the phone and to visit but unfortunately positions available appear selective. A week out from my child’s enrolment and they cancelled it giving the availability to someone else. Disappointing.

A very good place for our daughter. The centre is always clean and new activities are being set up for the kids every day. Periods are often themed and kids might be learning a lot about birds for example. The educators are very caring and attentive.

I toured Explore and Discover Breakfast Point last week on Thursday 6 October. I initially enquired with this centre because I was impressed with the activities shown in the photos they had uploaded on their social media page. Jayne, who is the director and co-owner of the centre, assisted with my enquiries and showed me around the facility. To date, I have toured nearly ten daycare centres/preschools in the area, and I have to say, this centre was the only place that I felt lacked the warm, inclusive and nurturing environment that I believe young children at this age particularly need. Listening to Jayne speak about her centre, I felt kids had to fit a certain mould to feel accepted or else they would feel as Jayne put it isolated”. My daughter is currently three and speaks minimal English as we are trying to raise her bilingual. I have visited ten different community based/private centres and not one of them used some of the negative terms Jayne used in her language. Rather than trying to see how the centre could accomodate for the child or make their transition as smooth as possible
