Our facilities
Set amongst a natural environment, Panton Hill Playhouse provides a warm and nurturing setting where children are supported to learn, grow and develop in a group environment. Our qualified and experienced educators work closely with families to create a strong sense of community and belonging. Through a play-based program, children are encouraged to build relationships, explore their interests, develop new skills and learn alongside their peers in a safe and engaging environment.
Types of care and activities
Panton Hill Playhouse provides a nurturing, play-based environment where children are supported to learn, explore and develop at their own pace. Our program is guided by the interests and individual needs of each child, encouraging curiosity, creativity and social connection.
Children have regular opportunities to engage with the local community and natural environment through supervised excursions to nearby parks and recreation spaces. A variety of indoor and outdoor experiences are offered each day to support children's learning, wellbeing and development.
Panton Hill Playhouse follows a SunSmart approach during Terms 1 and 4, helping children develop safe sun protection habits. Families are asked to provide a nutritious morning snack and lunch each day. Rest and sleep facilities, including cots, are available for children who require them during their time in care.
