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.
Morning
Imogen is 11 months old and enjoys sensory play outside in the sandpit with her friends. She sits near her educator who helps teach her how to scoop the sand into the bucket. Imogen is learning how to dig, carry, and move the sand. She is also exploring texture and learning what happens to the sand when she adds water!
Lunch
Imogen has finished her lunch and is preparing to take a nap. Her educator changes her nappy, prepares a bottle and reads Imogen a story before her afternoon sleep.
Afternoon
Imogen and some of her nursery friends enjoy some story time and songs outside in the shaded garden. They read ‘Peepo’ which is Imogen’s favourite book.
Morning
Lazurus is two and a half years old and loves to start his day at the centre outside on the climbing equipment. His friends join him, and together they pretend to be pirates on a ship looking for treasure. Through this exciting dramatic play, Lazurus is learning about himself and the world around him. Dramatic play is helping Lazurus identify his interests, abilities, likes and dislikes.
Lunch
Lazurus is watering the vegetables in the garden. By doing this, Lazurus is learning the importance of growing and caring for the veggies in the garden. Lazurus picks a tomato from the garden, which the Chef will use to help make Lazurus and his friend’s lunch - Spaghetti Bolognese!
Afternoon
Lazurus enjoys art, and today he is painting a beach scene from a recent family holiday. He adds the finishing touches and sets the painting aside to dry; so that he can take it home to share with his family.
While painting, Lazurus is learning how to express himself creatively and how to convey his ideas and emotions. Painting is also helping develop Lazurus’s hand eye coordination, finger, wrist and hand strength. Making marks on paper is important for self expression as well as later learning.
Morning
Indiana is almost five years old and can’t wait for today’s carpentry experience - she loves building things! Carpentry experiences allow Indiana and her friends to extend their learning through real-life experiences. While participating in carpentry, Indiana is learning to problem solve, experiment and predict. She is also improving her hand eye coordination, manipulative skills and muscular strength.
Lunch
Before Indiana sits down for lunch with her friends and educators, Indiana takes part in the centre’s sports program. Indiana loves sports. Sports helps Indiana improve her flexibility and strength (perfect for growing bodies!). Sports also allows her to practice different skills in a fun and engaging way.
Afternoon
Indiana is off to ‘big school’ next year and she can't wait to start! Indiana and her friends will be visiting the local primary school next week. In preparation for the visit, the class is creating a list of questions to ask the Principal and school children.
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.
Hi my name is Sarah and I am the Centre Manager here at Pelican Newbury Boulevard. I began working in the early learning sector 2000. I moved across from Pelican Craigieburn to Pelican Newbury in April 2022. I hold a diploma in early childhood and a Certificate 4 in Training and Assessing.
I have a particular passion for teaching, whether that be the children or the educators. I enjoy planning the program cycle and delivering high-quality education for both children and educators.
I believe children are capable, confident learners and they can do so much more than what we give them credit for. As educators, we need to follow children’s interests and branch their interests into so many learning opportunities.
Children attending a dedicated early learning centre develop social connections, self-help skills and confidence. Our dedicated team of educators at Pelican Newbury Boulevard are passionate about delivering the best education for your child and helping them prepare for school and beyond.
I build relationships with families by providing regular updates and honest communication. I always make sure I spend time getting to know families and children and we love to support families wherever we can.

Would not recommend to anyone, Just not the best as thay say it's ment to be, both my children never enjoyed going there, The staff is not as professional as the reputation, One day one of the staff members were hungover, grabbed my childs arm and tried to force him inside one of the rooms, which made me click as to why my both children refuse to there, Since I have moved my children to YMCA Early learning, now both of my children are always excited and happy to go daycare. Please pay attention to your children not happy about pelican childcare Newbury blvd.

Heartfelt Gratitude for an Outstanding Childcare Experience! 👌🙏 As a recently immigrated parent to Australia, I wanted to express my heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful childcare experience my 4-year-old has had at your center. From the moment we enrolled our little one, the warmth and professionalism of your staff have been truly remarkable.🫡 The caring and nurturing environment you provide has made the transition for our family into a new community much smoother. One of the aspects that stands out the most is the dedication of your educators. They not only create a safe and stimulating environment for the children but also foster a sense of belonging. My son comes home every day with stories of exciting activities, new friendships, and the joy of learning. The communication channels between the childcare center and parents are commendable.👏 Regular updates, photos, and insightful observations via Xplor app about our child's development have been invaluable in helping us stay connected with our little one's day-to-day experiences. Moreover, the multicultural atmosphere at your center aligns perfectly with our family's diverse background. It's heartening to see our child embracing and celebrating differences while forming friendships with children from various cultural backgrounds. Thank you for creating a space where our child feels happy, secure, and excited to learn. We are grateful to be part of such a positive and inclusive childcare community. Wishing your team continued success in providing exceptional care and education to the little ones who are fortunate to be part of your center.
Dear Sharath, thanks for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your experience; our staff will definitely be happy to read what you wrote. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Kind regards, The Pelican Childcare Team.
