Welcome to Hohnes Rd Playhouse Eltham
What is Playhouse?
We are a unique community based service providing Supervised Rostered Playgroup (Reciprocal Child Care) and Over 3 Year Old Occasional Care (Drop and Go) and are registered with the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development (DEECD)
Playhouse is a collective of families with young children in the local community. It is funded by the Shire of Nillumbik and is managed by a parent committee.
Families can attend one or 2 rostered sessions per week. During one session the parent is able to indulge in some "time out" and leave their children in the care of others, including a qualified child care worker. ( this option is subject to available places )
As "payment" for this " time out" the parent in turn attends another session where they are responsible to help care for other children while their parents take a break. (Please note a Leave session is not possible without a regular Mind session, except in crisis care situations.)
Members and staff together promote the safe, supportive and caring environment. Playhouse operates under the Children's Services and Playgroup Victoria Regulations. The ratio of minders to children is very high: 1 adult to 3 children, (excluding the childcare worker) with a maximum of 15 children each session. This ensures the safety and supervision of each child, and also provides an opportunity to form new friendships. The high ratio also enables small group work and individual attention to children and their parents by the childcare worker.
Playhouse has a relaxed atmosphere in a home environment like setting and aims to develop a sense of community and belonging. Playhouse welcomes families in all forms and from different backgrounds. It is an inclusive service available to all.
