About Pelican Childcare Fairways

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Craigieburn, Roxburgh Park, Somerton and Greenvale and surrounding areas. Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Craigieburn South Primary School, supporting a smooth transition to school.

We offer nurturing care and quality early education for children from 6 weeks to 6 years, with flexible hours (9, 10, 11, and 12-hour sessions) to suit busy families.

Our Learning Environments

Our children benefit from familiar faces as they grow, creating a sense of continuity:

  • Nursery (0-2 years): A safe, nurturing environment for babies to explore with tailored sensory and social experiences.
  • Toddler (2-3 years): Play-based learning encourages curiosity, confidence, and social skills.
  • Kindergarten (3-6 years): A stimulating learning environment that prepares our children for school through our Enhanced Learning Program.

We’re proud to have qualified teachers and educators, supported by a team of national education experts, ensuring the highest quality childcare and early education.

Innovative Early Learning Programs

Our teachers deliver the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF or the national curriculum) through play-based learning that covers language, literacy, numeracy, STEM, social, and emotional development. Our program also includes:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program developed by Queensland University of Technology to support children’s executive function and self-regulation.
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences.
  • Personalised learning plans for each child.
  • Local school connections.

We focus on strong family partnerships through regular learning and development conversations with your child’s lead educator, learning showcases, and in-centre family events. Our Xplor app provides real-time updates and learning summaries daily to keep you informed on your child’s journey.

Pelican Childcare Fairways, I am deeply grateful for the care and support you have provided my children during their early years of learning. I cannot express my gratitude for everything that my children and I have experienced at Pelican Fairways. Starting it off with the most amazing centre manager, Mrs.Carol, thank you for being so understanding, supportive and constant with your management. Kinder teacher, Virdah, thank you for your hard work and commitment in ensuring that children are more than ready to commence their foundation years of schooling. Ljubica, thank you for being so energetic, enthusiastic, caring, supportive, nurturing and a genuine educator, (speechless to describe this educator). Vasa, thank you for being so gentle, kind and supportive to the children’s early years of learning. Simran, Renuka, Kisa, Taylor, and Angela, thank you for being so kind, caring and loving to my children and to all the children at the centre.You guys are incredible, your hard work and commitment will forever be appreciated. Moving suburbs didn’t stop me from utilising the centre’s service as seeing the smile on my children’s faces during drop offs and seeing them run and hug their educators indicated that they are loved and cared for enormously. It is hard to put in words how grateful we are for the care, guidance and dedication this centre has shown to our children over the past TEN years. I feel grateful for the service and the impact the centre has had on my children’s wellbeing and education. This was witnessed when my child received an excellent initial school report from his primary school. This report is also a reflection of the quality service and a personalised education that the children receive while they attend this centre. For first-time parents who desire for their child/ren to build confidence, learn and grow in a positive, nurturing and a healthy environment then without a single doubt you should look no further than Pelican Fairways. Heartfelt thanks to the team at Pelican Fairways!!
