About Education & Care Service

Education & Care Services are mainstream early learning centres that offer full-day or part-day care with a structured curriculum, qualified teachers, and a focus on learning through play. They cater to families needing flexible childcare options and wanting a balanced approach that supports social, physical, and early academic development in a diverse environment.

Centres can set their own enrolment patterns and may ask for optional charges, but the funded hours themselves should be free of compulsory fees.

“My twins attended Childsplay for the last 17months or so, they graduated from preschool on Thurs 23rd Oct 2025. Sashi, Kristina and all the teachers and staff are just wonderful. They were very caring and helped my twins to gain confidence, be kind to others and prepared them well for their next step into primary, especially with my son who is hard of hearing (He wore hearing aids and never felt any different wearing them) and has speech difficulties (had an SLT Teacher assigned to him). They were very accommodating and encouraging and he progressed well with his learning with them. This gave me such relief and the way they were supportive shows how much they do care about the children that come through their school to help their development. I wish them all the very best for the future. Thank you again to Sashi and Kristina.”

“Sashi and her team of passionate and caring staff are warm, friendly and focussed. You can feel how much they love encouraging growth and strength in each individual child. Storytime, playtime, social time, tea and lunch time all of these are incredible, my toddler is enjoying all of these. Teachers support means so much to us. Your encouragement means a lot to my daughter. and I'm grateful for your help and guidance. Thank you so so much ☺️ Her last day graduation celebration 🥳 was incredible. My almost 5yr old daughter loves her time here and is thriving. As a parent what more can you ask for? I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this amazing centre and its big heart❤️.”

“Thank you for your hard work in supporting my son as they develop. Your patience and commitment to supporting my child has meant a lot to our family. With your guidance, our son has developed into a confident and capable child. Thank you for being such an important part of our child’s development. Your expertise in teaching (specially Sashi, Anita, Linda, Parul, Tina) has put our minds at ease. We are so grateful to have you as our child’s teacher.

Thanks to Sashi as she keeps our spirits up all the time and constantly connected our child with our religious traditions.
