About Child's Play Truganina

Located in the heart of Truganina at Level 1, 101/203 Palmers Rd, our family-owned centre is a place where children feel cared for, safe, and inspired to grow. With a team of dedicated local educators and a curriculum that celebrates every child’s unique spark, we’re here to help your child thrive from day one.

Our centre features seven beautifully designed rooms, including two extra breakout spaces, such as a dedicated dining room for shared mealtimes and social connection. Each area has been created to reflect familiar home and community settings, helping children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn

At Child’s Play Truganina, we believe in building strong connections with families and our community. Our team takes the time to get to know your family, your culture, values, and daily routines, helping make the transition to childcare easier. Our centre wouldn’t be the same without the valuable input and involvement of our families.

Get To Know Us

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

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.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

We use tasty fruits, veggies, and other good ingredients from the market to cook healthy meals right at the centre. We make sure every child’s food needs and family traditions are respected.

Every day, Children get to enjoy different foods from the five big food groups, like fruits, veggies, grains, dairy, and proteins – to help them grow strong and healthy!

Our friendly cook makes meals that are not only super yummy but also help children learn to love healthy food.

And guess what? The children even help grow their own veggies, herbs, and fruit in the garden!
We call it our “garden to plate” adventure – where Children plant, care for, and then taste the food they helped grow. How cool is that?

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

At Child’s Play, we authentically incorporate the Reggio Emilia approach from birth to six years, fostering innovation, creativity, and sustainable practices. Our philosophy centres around the belief that children are capable, curious, and full of potential. We embrace their natural curiosity by providing a rich environment filled with natural materials like glass, wood, and metal, encouraging exploration and creativity.

Our innovative curriculum is designed to be flexible and responsive to each child’s interests and needs, promoting a deep engagement with learning. We believe in the power of documentation to reflect and extend children’s thinking, using it as a tool for continuous improvement.

Sustainability is a core value at Child’s Play; we integrate eco-friendly practices into daily routines and educational activities, teaching children the importance of caring for their environment.

At Child’s Play, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of creative, thoughtful, and responsible individuals.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

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.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

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.
