About Sustainable Play Preschool
We provide high-quality education and care for children aged 2-6 years, in the Lake Macquarie and Newcastle area. We are a small day care centre with sustainability at the heart of our mission, teaching children environmentally friendly and regenerative routines through our play-based, child-led educational curriculum. We encourage nature play and connection with the natural world through our bush kindy program, nature crafting and garden to table lessons. Children are invited to spend as much time outdoors as they would like in our large outdoor environments. We offer weekly music classes, art activities, heavy work opportunities, risky play, sensory play, STEM activities, and more - all while our educators care for your child using the RIE respectful caregiving approach that values connection and the child's agency. Our preschoolers and staff eat from our award winning plant-based menu of meals and snacks, made fresh daily. Our team is passionate about child empowerment, respectful caregiving and teaching the next generation that they can make a positive impact in the world.

Thank you educators and the admin team for providing such a nurturing, natural and home like environment for my little one. As an early childhood teacher, I knew what I was looking for in a learning environment and have loved Sustainable Play from day one. From bush kindy, garden to plate and mud play experiences, she has thrived in an environment that focuses on holistic care and experiences. The fact she is never sick is a testament to the cleaning of the centre and the care taken in all areas to ensure the safety and wellbeing of children. The vegan menu provides whole foods and exposure to lots of different nutrient rich menu items. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!!
