About Inspire and Play Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Inspire and Play Early Learning Centre!

Inspire & Play is a childcare centre located in Endeavour Hills that focuses on play-based learning, with high incorporation of child-led and open-ended play, inspiring children to grow freely.

Our vision for Inspire & Play is for children to experience play in its most natural form, allowing them to grow and develop in a space that supports them and their needs holistically.

With a mission to provide children with a natural environment for growth in every aspect of their development, our centre will be a space for them to grow naturally, at their own pace, guided by our dedicated educators.

Our centre is based on Indoor and Outdoor activities, we loved to give our children the option to choose on what play areas they would like to spend their time on. We revolve our curriculum on what the children's needs are. 

We provide equipment such as sandpits, mud play, kitchens, balls, blocks, climbing bridges and many more.

Please get in touch to arrange a tour of our lovely centre! We look forward to welcoming you and your family.

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

“At Inspire & Play, we focus on nature and nurture, following the Reggio Emilia Approach to early learning, where children are the key decision-makers in their education. This approach emphasises cooperation amongst other children and educators, self-expression, creativity, and develops a child’s sense of respect for the natural world.

Our educators will ensure children are given the right opportunities and support to develop proficiently in all key learning areas. Children will be the leaders of their education, educators will draw ideas from their understanding of the children’s needs and allow time for open-ended, and child-led play.

Our centre is a nurturing community, a safe space for children and their parents to voice their opinions and participate in centre activities. Our centre supports the local community, working with local supermarkets and vendors to produce the children’s meals.

Sustainable practices are a key focus for the centre, teaching children about recycling and making use of sustainable materials in everyday centre activities and children’s playtime.”

“Inspire & Play has been created to provide a child-centred learning environment. I believe this is what makes us different from all other centres. Being in the childcare industry for 14 years myself, with a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood, I understand the importance of children learning in a way that is natural to them. We take great pride in our outdoor setting which is created from natural materials. Allowing children to develop their social, emotional, intellectual, and physical skills. Child-led play is our focus, providing an environment where children can be inspired to play, grow, and develop into their truest selves, supported by our qualified educators.”

It’s hard to express my gratitude and appreciation to the team at inspire and play. I have a daughter enrolled who’s been in their care since she was 7 months old and is currently in their kinder room - I wouldn’t have her anywhere else! My son graduated kinder last year and spent 2 years with the team and loved every second of it! Both of my children are very close with the educators and trust them like family. They have both made lifelong friends as well. There is that strong community feeling when you choose a smaller centre and if that’s the special kind of vibe you’re after - this is the centre for you!

We wanted our son to attend a govt kindergarten. We've moved from a different childcare centre to Inspire & Play early this year when he has his 4 year old kinder at the Chalcot Lodge Kindergarten which is just across the centre. This is because Inspire does a drop off & pick up at the council kinder which makes it so convenient for us working parents as we can drop my son off before 9am and pick him up after work around 530pm. The staff at Inspire are very caring and considerate. They are also assertive when needed especially when he gets overly excited and rough in play. They are also understanding to his needs especially when he has a few medical issues and they are aligned to our values of no gun play. Natalie is worthy of a special mention for her calmness, teachings and attention to our boy. Great job Inspire & Play staff!

I am so impressed with the childcare center my child attends! The teachers are truly exceptional, warm, attentive, and incredibly dedicated to nurturing each child's growth and happiness. They create a safe and stimulating environment where kids feel loved and encouraged to explore and learn. The staff’s genuine passion for early childhood education shines through in everything they do, and it’s clear they go above and beyond to support both the children and their families. I couldn’t ask for a better place for my child to grow, learn, and thrive!
