Balancing Learning and Play for your children

Welcome To

Play Early Learning Centre.

We are a childcare centre on the charming Darling Downs, nestled in Dalby. Our facility is flourishing and dedicated to delivering exceptional early education. Through our Montessori play-based and constructivist approach, we foster a love for learning, boosting self-motivation and nurturing confidence in our young learners. We achieve this by minimising cognitive demands and promoting independence through co-regulation, all within a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

More about us.

What ages do we manage?

Play Early Learning Centre currently caters to kids aged 2 to 5. We're excited to share that we recently were able to offer care for 2-year-olds as well. We're committed to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for children of all ages, helping them grow and learn in a safe and caring setting. We look forward to welcoming even the youngest members of our community on their learning journey.

How we work

* Values

We value quality education over quantity of placements. We prioritise building connections with your child, educators, families, and the community. As a local business, we offer consistent quality care.

* Play

Our Montessori approach to learning gives children the tools to choose their play and extend their

new understandings into complex questioned thoughts.

* Learning

At Play Early Learning Centre, we foster confidence and skill development through play. This reduces cognitive load and enhances learning efficiency.

* Food

Parents provide healthy lunchboxes for children at Play Early Learning Centre. Our Montessori approach allows children to choose their own food and learn responsibility for their belongings before starting school.
