The centre manager Fanoula is exceptional, she has gone over and above to ensure all our requests are met. The educators are all warm and friendly, my daughter absolutely loves them and is always happy when I pick her up. They've developed her social skills and her love of singing. Highly recommend this centre.

My son has been at Pelican Coburg for over a year now. He really loves it there and the educators know him really well. They are caring and attentive and always report back if he has an accident promptly. He is excited to attend childcare everyday which makes us happy to leave him in their care. Thank you Pelican Coburg.

The staff at the program are absolutely amazing. They always make you feel so welcome and a part of their little community, making it easier to drop off your little one and know they are in good hands. My daughter has been going there since she was 8 weeks old - and she loves all of them! Seeing the way the staff are with her, I can see the adoration on her face as well as theirs. The program provides hands-on, educational experiences for all ages, allowing your children to build upon their understanding of the world. Thank you Pelican, for being as great as you are.

My kids have attended a few other childcare centers as we moved around from the West to the North. However, Pelican Childcare has been far the most best one of all. All staff are friendly, caring and helpful. They have an amazing kinder program. My son had speech delay and since he has started at Pelican he has improved in all aspects of development. The staff have worked closely and supported the speech pathologist since day 1 and the results have been amazing. Both my kids learn something new everyday and look forward to attending the center. I work in the West and everyone tells me to change

We are very happy with the service provided at Pelican child care, my daughter started at 6 months. The orientation was not rushed and feeding, sleep was as my child's routine. There is app that I can see photos and information of how her day was, we also get drawings that she makes while she is in care. Management and educators are all very friendly and sociable.
