Welcome to Pelican Lynbrook. We're ideally located for families in Dandenong South, Hampton Park, Cranbourne, Cranbourne North and Lyndhurst.

Our Long Daycare and Kindergarten Centre provides early education and care for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years. 

We provide convenient, full care coverage from 9hr, 10hr or full days, 5 days per week, including school holidays.

Our dedicated team of Teachers and Educators provide a safe, nurturing, and inspiring learning environment - where your child can thrive, and be their wonderful self, every day.   

Getting school ready? We offer the Government-approved Kindergarten program that helps ensure your child has a successful transition to formal schooling.

We offer a great variety of learning experiences at our Centre including:

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

“Let the child be the scriptwriter, director and the actor in their own play” - Magda Gerber

Nursery Space: 6 weeks – 2 years

Learning starts from before birth, and our Educators have created a welcoming and nurturing nursery environment where each baby feels safe to explore and discover new things - through their senses, their communication and cues (body language, facial expression and sounds) and by experimenting. On any given day you can see the nursery children engaging in all types of play, water play, music time, story time and more. Every day provides a brand new, exciting adventure for our babies to support their development, learning and wellbeing!

Toddler Space: 2 - 3 years

Our teachers and educators encourage the children to learn through play to help enhance their sensory-motor development. This happens through carefully planned music, dance, games and reading experiences.

On any given day the Toddler children can be seen developing their numeracy by building a tower, sorting objects, pointing and identifying shapes and patterns and participating in counting songs and games.

Children in our toddler space are encouraged to participate in group play. Group play is important as it helps our toddlers develop important social skills such as, turn taking, developing self confidence and emotional self regulation. Our team helps children through talking, planning and role modelling.

Kindergarten Space: 3 – 6 years

Kindergarten is a unique time for learning with peers and developing skills for later learning including confidence and curiosity, important skills for starting school. Our play-based program encourages active engagement in learning and supports a range of positive developmental outcomes including resilience, independence, critical thinking and creativity.

The oral language supports literacy learning. A child’s oral language ability is the best predictor for later success in learning to read and write. Hearing the sounds within a language is the first critical step for all literacy learning. Our team supports our Kindergarten children's development by engaging in rich discussions, introducing new vocabulary as part of everyday conversations, as well as singing, playing games, and reading with the children daily.

Throughout the Kindergarten year,children use their language to share ideas, ask questions, express themselves, and connect with peers and adults in social settings.

Social-emotional skills, including the ability to self-regulate emotions, is supported through group learning environments. Our team supports each child’s social and emotional development by labelling and talking about emotions and supporting appropriate responses as together, they engage in new and challenging situations. Lastly, ensuring that all children are ready for the ‘big school’ by preparing them for all that ‘big school’ has to offer.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

Our centre chef prepares and cooks healthy and nutritious meals daily, catering to the unique dietary requirements of every child. We believe that by encouraging active participation (such as growing their own fruit and vegetables, preparing, and finally cooking!) children learn to appreciate and understand the importance of healthy eating.

Our centre offers children nutrient-rich, unprocessed, and seasonal whole foods – created to delight the fussiest eaters.

Meet the team

Meet the team

Hi my name is Kate and I am the Centre Manager here at Pelican Childcare Lynbrook. I have been working in early childhood education since 2004 and I hold a Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Community Services in Childcare and a Diploma in Business Sector Management. I also train new Centre Managers in our company to grow and inspire the next generation.

I love that every day is different and how you can bring children’s and families’ cultures into the childcare centre. I love seeing the smiles on children’s faces every day and knowing that I play a role in shaping their future, development and education.

My teaching style is based on the Reggio Emilia approach. I believe that children should have a natural environment that they can explore. I grew up exploring the outdoors and want to reflect that in our centre and our teaching practices. Education is a natural process carried out by the child, from their experiences in the environment.

I want children to feel safe, loved, respected and cared for at all times. Children should always be confident in who they are and understand their great potential in the future.

At our child care centre, we offer a wide range of activities, resources and teaching styles. Our days are dedicated to providing learning experiences in a social setting. Exposure to different thought patterns, personalities and cultures in a dedicated early learning environment is incredibly valuable to children’s understanding of the world and the development of their individuality.

Our team are one big family. We laugh together, cry together, and support each other. Their creativity, positive attitude, willingness to learn and passion for continuous improvement drive them daily. Each educator’s goal is to provide the best care and education for each child that enters our centre. Our team understands just how important your children are to you, and we ensure we take our responsibilities seriously. We have extensive policies and procedures to assist our team in protecting children in our care.

I am here each day to greet families, answer questions, help them with accounts, offer guidance and put them in touch with community organisations and professionals when necessary. I get to know everyone individually and build connections with them. Having our families feel like a part of our extended family is a great feeling for us. We love making everyone feel safe and supported in our centre.

We’ve been fortunate to have Kiran as the educator for our 4-year-old son. From day one, she has created a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment where our son feels safe, valued, and excited to learn. Kiran has a natural ability to connect with children.She goes above and beyond to make each day meaningful.Her regular updates and communication also give us great peace of mind and help us stay connected to our child’s day. We truly appreciate the dedication and heart Kiran brings to her work. We’re so grateful to have her as part of his learning journey at Pelican.
