Get Started | Child's Play ELC

Get started in 3 simple steps

1. Book a tour

Start by finding your nearest Child’s Play centre and booking a free tour. We’ll show you around our learning spaces, introduce you to our educators, and answer all your questions about daily routines, fees, programs, and anything else you’d like to know!

2. Enrol your child

If you decide we’re the right fit, we’ll guide you through the enrolment process. We’ll discuss important details like your child’s interests, hobbies, routines, medical information, and dietary requirements. We’ll even provide clear information about childcare subsidies.

3. Attend orientation

Before your child’s first official day, we’ll arrange a few short orientation sessions to help them (and you!) settle in.

These sessions are designed to build your child’s familiarity and confidence, so their first day feels easy and exciting. We can always schedule more sessions if your child needs extra time, and you’re welcome to stick around for the first few to help your child feel more at home!

Wyndham Vale

I highly recommend Child's P lay Wyndham Vale! We moved in September in 2024 from a centre that we absolutely loved, but had to make the hard move for the family. I went to a lot of local centres and they just didn’t “feel” right, but when I left my tour at Child's Play I knew this was going to be the centre!

Not only did they make me and my children feel welcomed from day 1, they have gone above and beyond to insure my children needs are met, and are very supportive and friendly, I couldn’t be happier with the centre it is a “family feeling” environment.

Our family is loving our experience with Childs Play. The staff are super engaged and attentive to the children. The menu is amazing and so much effort has gone into upgrading each of the rooms. Our girls have made great connections with the educators and we love hearing about the fun things they got to do throughout the day while driving home.

Tarneit

My daughter loves it there, and is very happy. She develops nurturing relationships with the kids. Lots of different activities happening, passionate and educated staff. It's a respectful and warm environment. Childs Play Tarneit services are very good and helpful. All the staff is friendly and helpful, always giving comfort to children especially when they are not happy and crying. Teaching new things always. All the teachers are very beautiful and supportive. Many thanks to all who look after my child, especially Jess and Raj and all others teachers also are very caring. Thank you for your support. 🙏

Point Cook

We feel like we have struck gold finding this daycare centre. We had our daughter enrolled in another centre when she was 10 months old and she had not settled after 12 sessions, it was an extremely stressful and emotional time. I quickly decided we needed to change centres; I did some research and THANKFULLY came across Childs Play Point Cook.

The centre director Sam and assistant manager Wararat are both very approachable, caring and professional. You get a real family vibe. During our orientations, I was even approached by the owner who was visiting, she was extremely caring and reassured me that it gets easier.

The centre has been renovated and is very clean, the food menu is very balanced. But above everything else the educators are incredible. We couldn’t be more grateful - we would recommend Childs Play Point Cook to any family without hesitation.

We have had a great experience so far with Child’s Play Tarneit! Educators are fantastic, professional, and have great team coordination. They ensure both the parents and child remain in a comfortable position, specifically thankful to my younger son's room educators, they are all on step ahead when in need. They remember and act everything regularly, caring about my children's needs including serving food on time in need. We would highly recommend Child's Play Tarneit.
