Wow talk about no idea. 27 kids upstairs on the ferry yelling hanging over railings and basically an accident waiting to happen. Adults sitting in groups of 3 not next to kids. Took over the entire ferry with no regard for other passengers or the risk to them selves. If a kid falls overboard well they were warned how stupid and dangerous the adults making the decision were. Today the staff ignored the rules moving where ever they wanted the entire journey. I'm so lucky to endure this again

I am beyond happy with the staff and services at Explore and Develop Umina. I can confidently drop my girls to them knowing the level of care from the educators will be of the highest quality. I love that they listen to the children's interests and then plan engaging activities accordingly. They might come home a little messy every now and then but that is half the fun. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I am more than pleased to have E&D Umina as a part of my village.

We have attended 3 peninsula based centres since my daughter was 9months old and can finally say we have found our home. The care provided at E&D Umina is 2nd to none. The staff are friendly, welcoming and treat both my children with such kindness. The facility itself is clean, presentable and well equipped to allow my children to play and explore many different activities. I highly recommend this centre to anyone.
Our highly qualified educators are our most important resource. Their expertise, along with a love of children, make them second to none. It is Explore & Develops stated aim to maintain a happy and resourceful working environment for our employees, with on-going training and development.
With educators that are passionate and up-to-date with most advanced educational methods, we are able to provide the most welcoming of surroundings that is nurturing, where your child will have fun and excel!
Educators plan experiences for children based on many factors; children’s interests, theoretical knowledge of child development, experience gained from working with young children, the Centre’s philosophy and goals, as well as observations made of the children in the Centre setting.
We follow a learning through play approach with the educator in the role of engaging, supporting and fostering children’s knowledge, learning via a literacy rich environment which is aesthetically pleasing to the individual child, encouraging imagination, hypothesis and social interaction.
In addition, knowledge of children's home backgrounds, including parental expectations, family structures and individual cultures are taken into account. We provide a busy, active program where key areas of learning and development are incorporated. These include creative arts, music and movement, language skills, problem solving with maths and science, literacy, dramatic play, health and safety. We encourage a family atmosphere and welcome parental input. Parents are encouraged to join in on our daily routine or to contribute ideas to the Centre.
We feel it is imperative that children have an outlet for their energy. Our Centre has specially designed outdoor areas such as sand pits, grassed areas and open spaces offering children the freedom to explore, use their senses and be physically active in a secure and safe, yet challenging environment. We offer Yoga to encourage well being and good lifestyle choices.
Our food is prepared on the premises by our chef who is specially trained in child nutrition, ensuring meals are well balanced with all the essential vitamins and nutrients children need for an active, fun-filled day.
