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 and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition
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.
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.

This centre has had both my children from Babyroom to kinder grads. 7 yrs apart. Their care is truly dedicated to keeping childrens requirements first. My younger one has strict dietary requirements and needs constant supervision to ensure dietchart is strictly followed. We have given comprehensive training to the educators and till date I have found most of them to be very much on board with the requirements. Special shout out to Neha and Mastani from Tarneit centre, who has shown extreme sincere effort and genuine love to my child. They are for sure assets to the organization and I hope they are recognised for their exemplary qualification as educators. Management wise, We have had initial difficulties to align their policies make the adjustments, and there were quite many roadblocks that were not practical and required to be revisited.Indy and Rania had surely made it easy for us and treated us with the empathy and understanding that we would have expected. Thanks team, hope you keep up the good work! Read more

Jalpa and Anna have been very supportive and caring and we are so grateful for the positive impact they’ve had on his experience here. Read more
