Childcare in Point Cook – Home away from home

Go outside!
We have a large play area, featuring a fire truck, slides, bridges, and various climbing equipment, which offer endless fun and learning for children. We also have a separate yard for infants, designed for fun and gentle exploration suited to their age. Our play areas feature vegetable gardens and real fruit trees, which introduce the idea of nature to little ones and encourages learning about the stages of growth. The children also enjoy the hands-on experience of picking, preparing, and tasting the fruit and veggies, so they learn more about nutrition and the farm-to-table process in a fun and engaging way!
Local adventures
Since the centre is located close to local sporting grounds, parks, and schools, we’ve made regular outings an exciting part of our curriculum. These age-appropriate excursions into the Point Cook community help broaden the learning experience, reflecting our belief that ‘Every Child Matters’ by integrating real-world experiences into our program.
What’s cooking?
Our team ensures every child enjoys nutritious and appealing meals carefully crafted by our expert in-house chef, who accommodates any dietary and allergy requirements. We offer a four-week rotating seasonal menu that includes flavours from around the world, including Mexican, Italian, Indian, and Australian-style dishes.
Family-oriented, family owned
Seeing a need for childcare in the area, our founders, Sam and Ian Johnson, decided that they had to offer top-quality childcare in Point Cook. The couple established this centre with the level of excellence and purposefulness applied to every Child’s Play centre. Because of this, Child’s Play Point Cook prides itself on offering only the best level of childcare available in the area. They also actively engage with the community to better understand and meet the needs of local families more than they’ve ever experienced before.
Our Team
Our team of educators is not only highly qualified but also deeply passionate about fostering young minds. Each member of the team takes the time to get to know your family, culture, values, and routines to assist in the transition to childcare. For us, our childcare service would not be possible without the input of your family!
Our team is proud to be made up of many different cultures, languages and backgrounds, reflecting the vibrant community we serve. With many of our staff members having been with us for a long time, we’re able to offer a stable and nurturing environment for your child, working together to ensure every child is considered, valued, and able to grow in their own way.
Our Philosophy
Our goal is to create the most supportive and fun setting for learning, by focusing on a child-centred approach, empowering little ones to lead their own learning adventure.
“I love being part of the Child’s Play team because it’s like being part of a family. Everyone is so supportive and inclusive of each other. We have so much fun during our days and it’s not a chore coming to work. Our Philosophy ‘Every Child Matters’ underpins everything we do, and you can see that all the way from the owners’ Sam & Ian to every person who steps in the door.” – Sam Magro, Centre Director Point Cook
At Child’s Play, we encourage our families to get involved with the activities in our centres and discuss with our educators how you can be involved in a helpful, meaningful way. We also welcome and support feedback from families to help us continually improve and critically reflect on our practices and processes within the service.
