Child’s Play Early Learning is a family-owned Tasmanian business that offers early childhood education and care for children aged between 6 weeks and 5 years old. With a team of dedicated educators and qualified teachers, the centre follows the Reggio Emilia philosophy, focusing on the innate curiosity of children and helping them explore and understand the world around them. The curriculum is designed to encourage self-expression, questioning, and interpretation, with a strong emphasis on collaboration between educators, children, and families.
At Child’s Play, a holistic approach to learning is taken, with documented outcomes and pictures provided to keep parents updated on their child’s progress. The centre provides meals prepared by an in-house cook using fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ensuring high-quality nutrition for all children. Additionally, nappies, wet wipes, and nappy rash cream are supplied to make life easier for parents. The educators work together to develop age-appropriate curricula, including a specialized program for children transitioning to primary school, with a full report and hand-over provided at the end of a child’s time at the centre to facilitate a smooth transition.
Child’s Play Early Learning, with locations in South Hobart and Lindisfarne, is influenced by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework and the Reggio Emilia Approach. Educators focus on creating a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and develop meaningful relationships. Families are encouraged to actively participate in their child’s learning journey, with documentation of children’s progress used to challenge thinking, reflect on pedagogy, and ensure that each child is valued and supported to reach their full potential.
