Learning Through Sustainability 🌱📖

Our children and educators created this beautiful storybook using recycled paper, turning reused materials into something meaningful.

Children can enjoy our handmade books wherever they choose, creating relaxed opportunities to read, explore pictures, ask questions and share conversations with their educators.

A lovely way to bring literacy, creativity and sustainability together in everyday learning. ♻️💚

Our first weekend dance class for mums and children was filled with music, movement and lots of laughter! 💜 It was a delight watching our children have so much fun with their mums.

Childcare is not only about learning and care—it’s also about bringing our community together, one joyful moment at a time. ✨

Join our next dance class with Aman, our talented Kinder Teacher, experienced Bhangra performer and dance coach!

Little Yogis Incursion

Our little yogis had a wonderful time during our Little Yogis incursion!

The children explored simple yoga poses, stretching, breathing and mindfulness in a fun and engaging way. There were plenty of smiles, lots of concentration, a few wobbly balances and, of course, lots of laughter!

It was lovely to see the children challenging themselves, building confidence and enjoying the benefits of movement and relaxation.

A big thank you to Little Yogis for creating such a positive and enjoyable experience for our children.

Stretch, breathe, balance and have fun!

Our little learners have been exploring the world of predators and prey — discovering how animals hide, rest and protect themselves in the wild. 🐾

Through conversations, questions and hands-on learning, educators turn children’s natural curiosity into meaningful teachable moments, building their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.

🌿 Learning, Connecting & Growing Together 🌿

Across our centre, everyday group times provide opportunities for children to learn about and connect with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. 🖤💛❤️

Through stories, songs, language, conversations and meaningful experiences, children are developing an understanding of First Nations cultures, connection to Country, respect for the land, community and belonging.

Our educators create opportunities for children in every room to listen, wonder, ask questions and share their ideas in ways that are meaningful and appropriate for their age and development. 🌏🌿

By embedding Aboriginal perspectives into our everyday learning, we are supporting children to grow with respect, curiosity and appreciation for the world around them. ❤️

Rooms Planning in Progress

They are reviewing their room programs, reflecting on the children’s learning, and preparing experiences that respond to their children’s interests, needs and development.

🌱 Planning with purpose
📝 Reflecting on learning
💡 Preparing meaningful experiences
👩‍🏫 Supporting each room’s individual needs

Great work, team! 💙

Learning Beyond the Classroom!❤️

We were delighted to welcome Srishti, one of our wonderful parents and a dentist from our local community, to share her knowledge about oral health and caring for our teeth.

Through fun and engaging conversations, the children explored important everyday habits while building practical knowledge and real-life skills that support their growing independence and prepare them for school and beyond.

A big thank you to Srishti for taking time from her busy schedule to create such a meaningful learning experience for our children. 💛

We love bringing our community into children’s learning and look forward to many more opportunities to learn, connect and grow together.

There’s something special about a beautiful, bright sunny day in Melbourne. ☀️🌿

Outdoor play provides endless opportunities for children to learn, explore and grow. Through play, children develop negotiation skills, build friendships, express their creativity through art, solve problems, and strengthen their confidence in a meaningful way.

Our educators thoughtfully extend children’s learning by encouraging conversations, supporting collaboration, and creating opportunities for discovery in nature. Every moment outdoors becomes a chance to inspire curiosity, resilience and a lifelong love of learning.

At Child’s Play, we believe the best classrooms don’t always have four walls. 💚

🍄 M is for Mushroom Magic! 🍄

A simple garden discovery turned into a magical learning experience! ✨

Last week, the children noticed beautiful mushrooms growing in our garden, sparking curiosity and inspiring our Letter of the Week – M.

To extend their learning, the children created their own colourful mushrooms using paper plates, exploring creativity while strengthening their early literacy skills. Through this hands-on experience, they made meaningful connections between nature, art, and letter recognition.

At our centre, we love following children’s interests and turning everyday discoveries into engaging learning opportunities. 🌿🍄💚

⚽️🏃 Sports Incursion with Coach Joel! 🏃‍♀️⚽️

Our children had a wonderful time participating in a fun and engaging sports incursion with Coach Joel. They enjoyed developing their physical skills, practising coordination, building confidence, and learning about teamwork through active play.

Our educators also joined in the fun, encouraging the children and sharing these positive moments together. It was fantastic to see everyone smiling, moving, and enjoying this exciting experience.

A big thank you to Coach Joel for creating such an enjoyable and active learning opportunity for our children! 🌟
