Our Philosophy
At Let’s Play Daycare, we believe the early years are a precious time to build strong foundations for a lifetime of learning, curiosity, and confidence. For children aged 2–5, we offer a warm, community-focused preschool where nature, play, and purposeful learning come together.
Inspired by the Waldorf Steiner philosophy, our days follow a gentle rhythm that nurtures both the heart and the mind. From baking bread and tending the garden to painting, singing, storytelling, and exploring the outdoors, every moment is rich with opportunities to grow, imagine, and create. Our play-based approach fosters early literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and social skills in a natural, engaging way—preparing children not just for school, but for life.
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), we see each child as an individual with their own strengths, interests, and potential. Our dedicated educators create a home-like environment where children feel safe, valued, and known. Personalised learning plans ensure your child’s development is supported across all areas—emotional, social, cognitive, and physical—so they can truly flourish.
We are more than a preschool—we are a place where childhood is honoured, families feel at home, and every child’s journey is celebrated.
What is the Steiner Philosophy
The Steiner philosophy for early childhood education, synonymous with Waldorf education, promotes a holistic approach to children's development, emphasising physical, emotional, and intellectual growth. Grounded in the belief that creative play, hands-on activities, and nature exploration are optimal for learning, Steiner educators prioritise nurturing curiosity and wonder in each child. This approach fosters a balanced development of body, mind, and spirit, emphasising experiential learning, imagination, and community values. These principles come to life in our daycare centre through our dedicated educators.
Our core principles
In everything we do, we ensure we stay true to the core principles of the Steiner Philosophy. This helps us to educate and nurture each child’s development so that they can get the greatest opportunity to grow into the best versions of themselves. Our family daycare centre is founded on these Steiner principles & values, with each child benefitting from an education based on the Steiner philosophy.
