Play to Learn Early Learning Centre

Welcome to Play to Learn Early Learning Centre, located at 47 Victoria Avenue in Toukley, Australia. At our establishment, we understand the importance of laying a strong foundation for children to succeed, especially during the critical early years when 90% of a child's brain development occurs by the age of 5.

Our holistic approach to education respects and values each child's unique voice, empowering them to reach their full potential within a safe, trusted, and expert environment. We believe in arming children with the necessary tools to thrive not only in the contemporary world but also in their formal education.

The cornerstone of our educational philosophy is our Empowered Children's Program, which supports children in developing confidence, resilience, and understanding. This program is underpinned by strategies from the world's best behavioral specialists, as well as the National Quality Standards (NQS) and the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF).

When you explore our learning environments, you will discover how our unique educational programs benefit each child on their empowered learning journey. We are committed to creating organic and diverse centers where different lived experiences are welcomed and respected. We actively involve parents and carers in the educational journey, building a richly diverse context for our entire community of learners.

Our educators are trained under high-level leadership, carefully monitored and overseen by our center director, qualified staff, and training assessors. This ensures that quality of practice and embedded theory are maintained, providing the best possible education for your child.

We are thrilled to open the doors to our new state-of-the-art Toukley Centre, featuring architecturally designed spaces curated to promote growth and holistic learning. This center embodies our unique approach to education, grounded in humanity and equipping children with the tools they need to thrive in the contemporary world and their formal education.

We understand the challenges that parents face in today's fast-paced world. That's why we emphasize the importance of being present, in the moment, and at peace. We believe in understanding each child, ensuring they are seen, heard, and felt daily.

Unfortunately, early education is often seen as just a "babysitting service," but we want to change that perception. Our sector is often portrayed negatively through the media and government, which undermines the incredible work we do. We face battles every day when seeking support from government bodies, support that ultimately benefits our families.

Judgment can be a painful experience, affecting us physically and mentally. It damages self-esteem and relationships with others. We believe in creating a safe and secure connection with children through predictable routines and warm interactions with adults while maintaining boundaries.

In this blog, we will focus on predictable routines, exploring what they are and providing strategies that you can incorporate into your day-to-day routine.

At Play to Learn Early Learning Centre, we are committed to providing high-quality education and a nurturing environment for your child. Join us on this educational journey and discover the difference we can make together.
