Welcome to Playtime at Port

At Playtime at Port, our vision is to provide 'endless learning opportunities for every child.' We offer a unique, boutique experience for children aged 3-6 years. As a smaller 24-place centre, located at 120 Hindman St, centrally situated to the CBD of Port Macquarie and the industrial area, we pride ourselves on offering a more intimate, child-led experience. The smaller environment allows us to focus on the individual needs of each child, offering tailored learning opportunities and meaningful interactions in a nurturing space.

Our Mission

At Playtime, our mission is to nurture a love of learning and discovery by providing high-quality, inclusive early education and care in a safe, supportive, and engaging environment. We are committed to offering each child the opportunity to explore their individual potential through meaningful play, enriching experiences, and strong, respectful relationships. We strive to partner with families and the wider community to reflect and celebrate diverse cultures, values, and perspectives in our programs. Through collaboration, curiosity, and care, we aim to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing—ensuring every child is empowered to thrive today and into the future.

Why Playtime at Port?

At Playtime at Port, we offer more than just childcare – we provide a unique, boutique experience where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn.

A Smaller, More Personal Environment

With only 24 places, our centre offers an intimate setting where educators can focus on the individual needs of each child. This allows for meaningful one-on-one interactions, tailored learning opportunities, and a curriculum that evolves based on children’s strengths, interests, and voices.

Guided by Our Core Values
Our philosophy is deeply rooted in the Playtime Values:
  • Partnerships – We work closely with families and our community to build strong, respectful relationships that support every child’s growth and wellbeing.
  • Learning Through Play – We believe play is the foundation of all early learning, offering rich, hands-on experiences that foster creativity, problem-solving, and a lifelong love of learning.
  • Acceptance – We embrace diversity and create an inclusive environment where every child and family feels welcome and respected.
  • You Belong – We nurture a true sense of belonging for children, families, and educators, ensuring everyone feels secure, connected, and confident.
A Space Designed for Exploration

Our thoughtfully renovated centre is purposefully designed to encourage curiosity, discovery, and expression. Children are given the space and support to develop at their own pace, while feeling safe and confident to explore the world around them.

Fostering Social & Emotional Growth

We recognise that early childhood is a crucial time for social and emotional development. At Playtime at Port, children build friendships, learn empathy, and develop social skills that will support them for life.
