About Pelican Childcare Mount Martha

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Mornington Peninsula, Safety Beach, Mornington and Moorooduc.

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.

  • Courtney Baguleyabout 2 months ago

    Our experience has been nothing short of amazing with Pelelican Childcare. Sending our son as first time parents when he was 10mnths old was a new experience for us but all of the staff welcomed us all in. The staff are all very knowledgeable and willing to help out. Our son adores being dropped off to his room leaders each session. The app we have access to is a great way to stay up to date with food, naps and alike. Thanks team!

  • Kate Normanabout 2 months ago

    My daughter started at Pelican when she was 9 months old. She settled in quickly thanks to the wonderful educators! She turns up to daycare with a smile on her face every time and is always happy to separate. The educators post every meal, nappy change and nap via the app so I always know that she is being cared for. They also post daily observations with photos so that I can see what my daughter is getting up to for the day! We are so happy with Pelican and would recommend it to everyone!

  • Chloe Giannottiabout 1 year ago

    Amazing staff and environment. I knew as soon as I walked in it was the right place for my daughter. Every staff member is friendly welcoming and the support for both child and parent goes above and beyond.

  • Clodagh McKimmieover 1 year ago

    We can’t recommend Pelican highly enough. The staff are absolutely wonderful, warm and kind. Our son required extra support and they went above and beyond, were positive and helpful AND had outstanding communication with us. Such a wonderful centre and environment.
