A not-for-profit,
built on trust
Toybox is a not-for-profit organisation. Every dollar we receive goes back into the centre — into experienced, well-supported educators, into ongoing staff training, and into the resources and environments your child learns and plays in every day.
For over 35 years, Toybox has provided high-quality care for the families of the Lower Eyre Peninsula. We’ve grown and changed with our community, but one thing has stayed constant: our commitment to the children and families who walk through our doors.
What makes us different?
Our mission is to provide a child safe environment where safeguarding children practices are our paramount consideration. We aim to provide; a high-quality standard of essential, respectful care by acknowledging and understanding the holistic nature of children’s learning while incorporating play-based experiences and intentional teaching.

Sustainable, and locally minded
We believe in sustainable, environmentally responsible practices, and we think local wherever we can — supporting Port Lincoln businesses and embedding our local community into the everyday life of the centre.
nourished, every day
