Welcome to Child's Play Dandenong

Under new management! Child’s Play has arrived in Melbourne’s eastern suburbs with our new centre at Dangenong! We provide quality childcare and education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Our centre is more than just a place of learning – it’s a local hub for families, offering a fresh, engaging environment where children can grow, explore, and thrive!

At Child’s Play, our philosophy is 'Every Child Matters'. We’ve created a learning space where every child and family feels supported and inspired. Children explore their own individual interests and creativity, fostering a curiosity and love for learning.

Our team ensures a nutritious and delicious menu is always on offer, carefully crafted by our expert in-house chef who accommodates any dietary needs and allergy sensitivities.

Your daily fee includes all the essentials, including nappies, sunscreen, meals, and milk. We ask that each child come with a bag or backpack and a water bottle. For personal belongings, we provide each child with an individual locker to keep their items organised and secure!

We can't wait to meet you! Book a tour with us today - we would love to show you around.

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.
