Careers at Child’s Play Early Learning Centres
A Role in Childcare
Working in childcare is one of the most rewarding careers that someone can choose. As a childcare educator, you are able to inspire, encourage and support the early development of young children.
The challenges of being a childcare educator can also be some of the most gratifying experiences. It is more than just care and supervision. As an early childhood educator, you will teach fundamental skills and form strong bonds with families and the community.
Working with children at Child’s Play ELC is about creating lasting memories and imparting life lessons through fun and play.

Child's Play is like a family. It is a place that you can walk into and feel welcomed and encouraged to be your best. We live by our philosophy: Every Child Matters which is why I love my job and love being part of the Childs Play team.

My passion for children and bringing change into their lives has brought me into early childhood education. Child’s Play gave me that opportunity where I grow from Room leader to Centre manager. I love my job and I couldn’t be happier than working at Child’s Play ELC. Sam and Ian are one of the best bosses one could ever think of. They don’t run a business; they are actually extending their family in the childhood sector. They keep you motivated and are great support all the time.

Child’s Play ELC embodies family. We are a family for our children, we are a family for our community and a family for our staff. It is all about that loving atmosphere for everyone involved. I have experienced almost every role whilst working at Child’s Play, undergoing upskilling of my qualifications as well as working in different roles in my 7 years with the organisation.
I enjoyed working with the children in a variety of age groups, as both an assistant educator and room leader. I have also experienced management as an assistant manager and more recently Centre manager; during this time enjoyed opening Child’s Play Tarneit West. And finally I am enjoying my role as Operational Manager, providing support and guidance to all of the centres.
