Innovative early learning programs
Our passionate educators and teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework through Pelican Childcare’s innovative play-based learning program, which covers key curriculum areas.
When it comes to your child, we go beyond core language, literacy and numeracy to also focus on supporting their social and emotional development – including overall resilience.
This is possible thanks to our extended learning program, which spans:
- Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program to support children’s executive function and self-regulation
- Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences
- Personalised learning plans for each child
- Local school connections
Government-approved Kindergarten programs
Expect big things for your child with our focus on encouraging new connections and friendships while advancing their early language, literacy, numeracy, problem-solving and social skills.
Even better, our year-round program will be tailored to accommodate your child’s individual learning and development needs, which will do wonders for boosting their enthusiasm, motivation and willingness to learn.
Our early learning centres support busy families
If you work, study or need additional flexibility in your day, you’ll be pleased to know our child care centres offer 9, 10, 11 or 12-hour sessions with nutritionally balanced meals served throughout.
Most of our Pelican child care centres are conveniently open for extended hours between 7am and 6pm.
