A Family-Owned Childcare which puts Family First

As parents ourselves, we understand that choosing a childcare provider is an important decision and an extensive process. Our Tarneit West centre is family-owned and operated and our team takes the time to get to know your family, culture, values and routines to assist in the transition to childcare. It is extremely important to us that every family’s needs are met and the child is engaged in their learning which is why we actively engage with our Tarneit West community and our families to provide new opportunities and experiences.

What is included at Childs Play ELC?

We cater to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. Children attending can look forward to a full menu including breakfast, morning tea, a two-course lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack. Our in-house chef is trained to provide nutritious and delicious meals while staying aware of allergies and dietary requirements.

Our daily fee includes everything that your child requires for their day including nappies, sunscreen, meals and milk. We ask that you bring a bag or backpack for your child along with a drink bottle for water that they can drink from with minimal or no assistance. Your child will be allocated a locker to keep their belongings in. Your fee also includes incursions such as Little Sports Heroes and Happy Feet.

Our Philosophy in Practice

We embody our philosophy of Every Child Matters to provide the best learning environment for our children. Our service goes above and beyond legal requirements by having at least five educators working in our rooms and providing children with the option of indoor and outdoor play. Our curriculums provide children with opportunities to explore their interests and our dedicated kinder program prepares children for school and is led by a fully qualified kindergarten teacher.

What our parents have to say…

Reagan Grace

Tarneit West

I’ve been through many daycare centres and Child’s Play Tarneit West is the one I’ve settled with. From the beginning management and the ladies have been helpful and caring. It was hard for me to put my 1 year old into daycare but they made the transition easy. It’s even better when I get to see through the app the times my son has eaten, slept and has had nappy change. It’s rare to find good daycare centres these days. My son loves it here. And the centre itself is always clean and it’s brand new. Couldn’t ask for a better child care for my son. Thank you ladies

My son has been attending the centre since he was about 7 and half months and this has been one of the best decision we made.The staff are children experts, caring, supportive and very helpful. There is no single day where he does not want to go to school and this tells me a lot about how much he is cared for and the trust bond he has made with the educators. I would definitely recommend Childs Play Tarneit West for anyone looking for a care centre for their babies.

Tell us a bit about yourself and your experience

I have been living in the Tarneit area for a few years now after moving from a nearby suburb. I enjoy working in the tight knit community of Tarneit, as this large community strives for passion, togetherness and community partnership. I have an older brother and a twin sister (some people say she looks a little too much like me), I have a great relationship with both of them and enjoy spending my spare time with them. I have been working as an Early Childhood Educator for 11 years, and have seen many educational changes over the years. These changes have sparked my passion for educating children and have led me to continue up-skilling. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Education Primary, and enjoy spending most of my weekends dedicating time to up-skilling with the hope to teach future generations.

Why do you work in early childhood education?

Working with children ignites my inner passion, and inner role model. Each aspect of each day being surrounded by young children is rewarding in itself. Supporting and engaging children’s curiosity through their own learning journey allows children to be adaptive of their future learning skills. These skills develop with time, but knowing I was there as a key role model igniting each child’s initial spark for their ongoing educational journey.
