The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between children exploratory behaviour and the quality of structural childcare and process in preschools. The study also examined how childcare quality af-fects the relationship between emotional wellbeing and exploratory behav-iour. The sample comprised 206 children from 40 classrooms in 20 pre-schools, together with their teachers. The children�s age ranged between 37 and 64 months (M = 50.96, SD = 6.54). The results indicated that children cared for by more sensitive teachers engaged in more exploratory behavior. However, no moderating effect was found of teacher sensitivity on the positive relationship between exploratory behavior and wellbeing. Finally, some factors linked to the quality of structural childcare also influenced ex-ploratory behavior, although to a lesser extent
