Looking for play-based preschool programs Marsfield families truly love?
You’re not alone. In Marsfield and surrounding suburbs, more families are searching for early learning centres that combine bilingual support with joyful, play-rich environments. The benefits of play-based education go beyond fun — they include stronger language skills, emotional growth, and school readiness.
At Imaginations Marsfield, our program is designed for toddlers to learn naturally through discovery, imagination, and connection. Here’s why our approach works so well for bilingual families in Marsfield.
1. Language-Rich Play Environments
Play isn’t just about toys. It’s how toddlers explore the world. In our bilingual classrooms, play is filled with words, questions, and storytelling. Children might act out a market scene, sing in multiple languages, or build towers with blocks while learning new terms.
This kind of learning feels natural. By hearing and using both English and a second language in context, toddlers absorb new vocabulary and build language confidence.
2. Educators Who Observe, Guide and Support
Our educators are more than supervisors — they’re skilled observers and planners. If a toddler is showing interest in cooking, we’ll create a play kitchen stocked with recipe cards, pretend ingredients, and bilingual labels.
We support bilingual development through:
Music and rhyme in both languages
Small group storytelling
Daily conversational routines
We follow each child’s lead while gently expanding their skills.
.
3. A Daily Rhythm That Supports Growth
Structure helps toddlers feel secure. At our Marsfield centre, each day offers a predictable yet flexible routine.
A typical day includes:
Morning group time and welcome song
Rotating indoor and outdoor play
Storytime in English and another language
Creative expression (painting, dancing, dramatic play)
Wind-down activities and rest
Language is embedded throughout the day, making learning feel seamless.
4. Family and Community Connection
We value the strong link between home and school. That’s why our educators regularly speak with families about routines, progress, and culture. Many of our staff are bilingual themselves and reflect the diversity of Marsfield.
We also encourage families to share their home language at drop-off or during centre events. Children feel proud when they hear their first language celebrated in a group setting.
Parents also receive regular updates, photos, and observations through our communication app. You’ll know what your toddler is learning — and how they’re growing — every step of the way.
5. The Science Behind It All
Play-based education isn’t just a trend — it’s backed by decades of research. According to Early Childhood Australia, play-based programs promote empathy, problem-solving, and creativity — all key to school readiness.
Our educators are trained under the EYLF (Early Years Learning Framework), which guides us to support:
Identity and belonging
Communication skills
Physical wellbeing
Learning through play
We align research, real-world skills, and responsive care.
