Explore & Develop Conder

Explore & Develop Conder, located in the southern suburbs of Canberra, is a purpose-built service that caters for children from six weeks to six years of age. We are conveniently located in the heart of the Conder community, adjacent to the Lanyon Marketplace shopping centre and in walking distance to local schools.

Our NQS rating is an inherited rating from the previous operator. We look forward to converting this to correctly reflect the current practices at our service. Explore & Develop boasts only Exceeding and Meeting NQS ratings across all of our other 25 Services. 

We provide a welcoming ‘home away from home’ environment where children and families feel they belong and are part of our community. Indoors, we provide a calm, relaxed, unrushed learning environment that encourages imaginative play and exploration. Our outdoor areas feature nature play-spaces where children can run, play, imagine, explore and learn.

We see your child’s education journey to be from birth to five years. Our Junior and Senior Preschool programs offer a curriculum that is aligned to the outcomes defined by the Department of Education.

We look forward to welcoming you and your child to Explore & Develop Conder!
