Greenvale Centre Overview
Explorers Greenvale – proudly rated as Meeting the National Quality Standard
It’s a big step handing over the backpack and waving goodbye in the morning, but at Explorers Greenvale, children walk into a place made for discovery and belonging. Our rooms are shaped around different stages of development, from nursery to preschool and kindergarten. Each day brings something new, whether they’re exploring an idea with friends in the central piazza or creating something with their hands in one of our light-filled indoor spaces.
Plus, our outdoor spaces give plenty of space to run, dig, and imagine, while our in-house chef prepares fresh, nutritious meals each day to keep energy levels up. Guided by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, our childcare in Greenvale encourages kids to explore their ideas, try new things, and connect with others.

What makes Explorers Greenvale Unique
Some days it can feel like your child is growing faster than you can keep up, and that’s why the early years matter so much. Our early learning centre in Greenvale provides room to explore and learn. As one of the best childcare centres in Australia, our programs are built around a framework of joy and we support learning for life by creating spaces where kids feel curious, capable, and connected.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Purpose-Built Spaces – From nursery to kindergarten, every room is set up to support the way children play and learn at that age. Our toddler room, for example, invites hands-on discovery through books, movement, and sensory experiences.
- Engaging Play Areas – Our outdoor spaces give kids the chance to move, explore, and try new things. Whether it’s climbing, digging, or teaming up with friends, there’s always something to capture their imagination.
- Healthy, Delicious Meals – At our Greenvale daycare centre, healthy eating is a key part of the day. That’s why our in-house chef prepares balanced meals using fresh ingredients, ensuring kids stay energised and well cared for.
- Dedicated Educators – Our staff is not just here to teach, they’re here to listen, understand, and support your child every step of the way. Their warmth and energy make every day feel like a new adventure for your little one.
- Learning That Connects with Nature – We believe in teaching kids the value of caring for the planet by letting them see how it’s done every day. From small actions to big ideas, they’re learning to be mindful of their environment.
