Choosing the right childcare service is an important decision for every family. At Quakers Hill Kindergarten & Child Care, we’re committed to providing a warm, nurturing and engaging environment where children feel safe, supported and excited to learn every day. One of the key strengths of our approach is play-based learning - method proven to help children thrive socially, emotionally, physically and academically.
Play-based learning is more than simply “playing.” It’s a structured approach where educators create meaningful experiences that spark curiosity, build confidence and encourage exploration.
At Quakers Hill Kindergarten & Child Care, we carefully design play opportunities that are fun and educational, supporting each child’s developmental stage. From imaginative role-play to hands-on sensory exploration, every activity is intentionally planned to help children grow.
1. Social and Emotional Development
Through play, children learn how to share, collaborate and express their feelings. These interactions build empathy, resilience and strong communication skills - all essential for lifelong wellbeing.
2. Early Literacy and Numeracy
Simple experiences such as storytelling, counting games, puzzles and drawing lay the foundations for reading, writing and mathematical understanding. Children learn naturally as they explore and interact.
3. Creative Expression
Creativity is encouraged daily. Whether painting, building, dancing or engaging in pretend play, children strengthen their imagination while developing fine-motor skills and problem-solving abilities.
4. Physical Development
Our indoor and outdoor environments encourage active play. Climbing, running, balancing and digging help children strengthen their bodies, coordination and confidence.
5. Developing Independence
Play gives children the freedom to make choices, try new things and take initiative. These early moments of independence build self-esteem and prepare them for the transition to school.
At Quakers Hill Kindergarten & Child Care, our educators take an active role in guiding meaningful play. By observing children closely, they tailor experiences to each child’s interests, extend learning through conversation, and create opportunities that challenge and inspire.This intentional approach ensures children feel supported while having the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a warm, family-centred environment where every child is known, valued and cared for. Our centre layout and resources are designed to encourage independence, creativity and a sense of belonging.We also emphasise:
Our School Readiness Program strengthens the skills children need for a smooth transition into primary school. Through structured play, early literacy and numeracy concepts, social skills and independence-building activities, we help children feel confident and prepared for “big school.”
Parents often share how ready and excited their children feel when they leave our program - a testament to the supportive learning environment we create.
At Quakers Hill Kindergarten & Child Care, we are dedicated to helping every child learn, grow and flourish. Our play-based learning philosophy ensures children develop essential skills while having fun and building lasting friendships.
