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.
Culture at Child’s Play ELC
Child’s Play ELC is a family-owned and operated early childhood centre. We provide high-quality education for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years and for the past three years have exceeded standards outlined in the National Quality Framework. We provide our educators with some of the most rewarding opportunities and plenty of professional development to continue the high standard of education we provide.
In 2021, one of our directors, Sam Johnson won Business Women of 2021 in Lalor and was recognised for her community-mindedness and leadership skills. As we continue to expand our centres we continue to employ educators who are driven and community-minded.
Hear What Our Educators Have To Say
"Child’s Play is my second home, I love coming to work each day and seeing all the happy children and educators. Child’s Play prides itself on furthering their educators’ skills and knowledge and I have been privileged to be a part of its journey; learning alongside all the wonderful amazing staff who call Child’s Play their home. "
Emma Staehr TarneitHear What Our Educators Have To Say
"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.

Lorna Healy TorquayHear What Our Educators Have To Say
"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."
