What Our Families are Saying
-
We couldn’t be happier with Let’s Play Daycare. Shanti, the owner, is truly amazing. Her kind energy and the thoughtful program she runs have made such a difference for our son Benji. He has come out of his shell in ways we didn’t expect and is genuinely thriving. It’s rare to find a place where you feel both trust and gratitude every single drop-off. We feel very lucky to have found Let’s Play Daycare.

The activities are always engaging, creative, and thoughtfully planned, helping build confidence, social skills, and a love for learning.

How We Prepare Your Child for School
At Let’s Play, school readiness doesn’t come from rushing children ahead. It comes from building the strong, steady foundations that learning naturally grows from.
Through a calm, intentional, and play-based approach, we gently nurture the skills your child needs - not just for school, but for life.
✍🏼 Early Literacy
Before children are asked to read or write, they first learn to listen, understand, and express themselves.
Through storytelling, songs, and rich conversations, your child develops:
A love of language and stories
Strong listening and comprehension skills
Early sound awareness (the building blocks of reading)
These foundations allow literacy to unfold naturally, with confidence and ease.
🔢 Numeracy Through Everyday Life
We don’t sit children down with worksheets - we bring numbers to life.
Through baking, nature play, rhythm, and daily routines, children experience:
Counting and sequencing in meaningful ways
Patterns, rhythm, and repetition
Problem-solving through real-life activities
This builds a deep, intuitive understanding of numbers, not just memorisation.
🗣️ Social Confidence & Connection
School readiness isn’t just academic - it’s deeply social. Within our small, calm environment, your child learns to:
Take turns and cooperate with others
Build friendships and navigate group play
Express themselves with confidence
These are the skills that help children walk into school feeling secure and capable.
💛 Emotional Regulation & Independence
Perhaps the most important foundation of all.
We gently support your child to:
Move through transitions (like drop-off) with increasing ease
Understand and express their emotions
Build resilience, independence, and inner confidence
So when they step into school, they don’t just cope — they feel ready.
🌸 A Different Kind of School Readiness
We don’t believe in pushing children ahead
We believe in preparing them deeply.
Because when a child can focus, connect, communicate, and feel secure within themselves…
Academic learning doesn’t need to be forced, it flows.
Your child deserves to be truly known
We’re not a big, noisy center. We’re a nurturing village where educators know your child by heart, mornings are calm, and families feel at home. Here, children grow with confidence, and parents finally breathe easier.
