Child’s Play ELC is in the heart of Torquay, located just off Horseshoe Bend Rd at 1 Pintail Drive and is owned by Sam and Ian Johnson. We understand that choosing a childcare centre is an extensive process as you find the best fit for your family. As parents ourselves we take the time to get to know you, your values and your culture to best support your transition to our centre.

Our purpose-built facility has beautiful large outdoor spaces that reflect the coastal environment around Torquay. The rooms are large and spacious and have the most up to date resources and equipment to further your child’s development. Supported by a play-based curriculum, our team are constantly looking for new experiences and ways to promote a love for learning.

We love that we are run by a family for families where every child matters, and we strive for best practice. Our children are the heart of our centre, and we want to ensure they have the best experience possible that sets them up for success in life.
