Edu-Play Early Learning Centre

Community Garden

We understand the importance of sustainability and caring for country, and that's why we're dedicated to nurturing our community garden.

Our children have been busy planting seeds, learning about plant life cycles, and exploring the various ways we can utilize the plants once they've been harvested.

Our Edu-Play grown Rosemary is ready to be shared with our families!

Why do we love slime at Edu-Play?

As children squeeze, stretch, pinch, and mould slime, they're strengthening the small muscles in their hands, developing sensory awareness, and building confidence through open-ended exploration.

Today's slime exploration was filled with curiosity, conversation, concentration and plenty of wonderful learning moments! 💚

Creating Cubbies

Our children have been busy designing and building cubbies, working together to create special spaces for play, imagination, and exploration.

At Edu-Play we believe Learning is at its best when children are free to create, explore, and imagine.

Little Hands, Big Learning

At Edu-Play, we encourage learning through meaningful play-based experiences. Our learners have been exploring early literacy and mark making by drawing, writing, and creating patterns in the sand.

This experience helps children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and confidence while encouraging creativity and self-expression. Through playful exploration, children are building important foundations for literacy in a fun and engaging way.

Biggest Morning Tea Bake Sale

A huge thank you to our amazing educators for baking treats for our bake sale, and to our wonderful families who generously donated to support the Cancer Council's Biggest Morning Tea.

We are so grateful for the support of our Edu-Play community and proud to contribute to such an important cause.

Reptile Adventure Visit

We had a fantastic visit from Reptile Encounters, where the children enjoyed getting up close with a variety of reptiles connected to Dreamtime stories, creating a meaningful opportunity to explore Indigenous perspectives and deepen children’s understanding of culture and connection to the land.

Children explored, asked questions, and learned through hands-on experiences.
Such a special day at Edu‑Play!

At Edu-Play we believe Beach Kinder provides children with opportunities to connect with nature, build confidence, develop physical skills, and explore the world through hands-on learning.

Through our weekly Beach Kinder excursions, we encourage climbing, balancing, creating, investigating, and working together. Children develop resilience, curiosity, problem-solving skills, and a deep appreciation for the natural environment. Beach play also supports wellbeing, creativity, and meaningful connections with the world around them.

🌿🐾 Nature Explorers in Action 🐾🌿

At Edu-Play, we truly believe that learning doesn’t stop at the door, it extends beyond the four walls of the classroom and into the natural world around us. Each week, our children have the opportunity to connect with nature, build confidence, and develop a deep sense of wonder as they explore their local community environment.

We love seeing our littlest learners thrive in these adventures, learning through hands‑on experiences and making meaningful connections with the land and world around them.
