At Child’s Play ELC, our philosophy is simple: every child matters. We believe each child is unique, capable and deserving of care, respect and opportunities to thrive. Our centres are guided by values of inclusion, belonging, kindness and respect, creating a place where families feel supported and children feel at home.
As immigrants from the UK, our founders Sam and Ian Johnson came to see childcare as an extension of family. After many years working in education, they dreamed of creating their own centres where children are truly nurtured and families feel deeply connected. That vision lives on today, in welcoming spaces that feel like a second home and give every child the chance to grow into a confident, compassionate learner.
We know how important it is for families to feel connected to their child’s day. That’s why we use the OWNA app to share updates and messages in real time. You can see what your child is learning, celebrate their achievements and feel close to those special little moments, even when you can’t be there.
This might be a quick chat at drop-off, a detailed update through the app, or a planned meeting. No matter the setting, we make sure you always feel informed and supported.
Our kindergarten program is led by qualified kindergarten teachers who guide children through a rich, play-based curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. With a strong focus on school readiness, we help children grow in confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Alongside literacy, numeracy and creativity, we celebrate the little milestones that make a big difference: putting on jackets, packing bags and caring for belongings. These everyday achievements, supported by our caring teachers, give children the skills and self-assurance they need to step into school with excitement and pride.
We know healthy food fuels happy learning. That’s why our in-house chefs prepare fresh, seasonal meals and snacks daily, designed to give children the nutrients they need to grow and thrive.
Our meals are as diverse as the little learners we serve, featuring a variety of cuisines, including Mexican, Italian, Indian, and classic Australian dishes. Plus, we’re flexible – adjusting our menu based on children’s needs and preferences, making mealtimes a truly delightful experience.

I am really happy that my son goes here. The teachers are kind and treat him well. My son stutters, but after going here, he has gained a lot of confidence and his speaking has improved. I would like to thank them all for the hard work they do for our children.

My son Mojib goes to kindergarten and I am so happy about them. Since when my son start, he looks more happy and learned to use the toilet by himself. And importantly he finds friends and plays with them.
