Our Childcare Rooms

Our Childcare Rooms

At Child’s Play, our rooms are carefully divided into ages and stages so that every child can benefit from new challenges and experiences as they grow. Our goal is to provide the best learning environment in each room, including quality educators, transformative curriculums, and adaptable indoor and outdoor facilities. Designed to make learning fun, each centre has at least five purpose-built rooms, carefully crafted to meet the developmental needs of every child.

 

Intuitive design

Our childcare rooms are purposefully designed to match the needs of our children with flexible furniture and resources to cater to different class sizes. We’re even able to change our childcare room design to match your children’s interests and further their development as they move through the classroom. We also decorate our rooms to celebrate cultural holidays such as Mother’s Day, Holi, and ANZAC Day!

More than a Play Space

In each of our learning environments, we create life-like play spaces to replicate areas of the home and the outside world to help children develop valuable life skills and knowledge. Children have the opportunity to grow vegetables, take care of gardens and at some of our centres – even look after resident pets! Our indoor environments feature natural wooden home-style furniture and soft colour palettes, intentionally chosen to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere for every child to enjoy.

Nursery Rooms

Our Nursery Rooms cater to children aged 6 weeks to 18 months. At this stage, little ones love to engage their senses to explore and discover, so these spaces are designed to encourage curiosity and support their growing independence.

Here are a few of the developmental milestones your children will reach while they’re in our Nursery Rooms – 

  • say words like ‘dada’ or ‘mama’
  • wave goodbye
  • sit without support
  • stand up by themselves with the assistance of furniture
  • show signs of anxiety or stress if a parent goes away
