About us

Once Upon A PlayTime is a family-owned and operated small business based in Delahey, Melbourne.

 

​What began in 2009 as a passion for capturing childhood moments has grown into a creative brand offering educational toys, learning resources, and play-based workshops.​

 

Through Once Upon A PlayTime Educational Toys, our online store provides fun and stimulating toys to families, childcare centres, and schools across Australia — all designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and a love of learning.​

 

At Mini Academy, our play-based workshops help children build confidence, independence, and a joyful foundation for school and beyond.
