Explore & Develop King Street Centre overview

Welcome to Explore & Develop King Street

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.
