About Penguin Childcare Epping

We are conveniently located for families in or commuting through Epping, Lalor, Wollert, Thomastown and Mill Park. 

Many of our Children go on to attend local schools such as Epping Primary, 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.

    I have been going to this centre for over 6 years between my kids. I chose them as they felt like one big family and had educators who actually had a genuine passion for working with the kids, something that’s not as common as you would think. That has remained true all this time. I couldn’t be happier with the way they respect my children and make them feel included every day. Thank you for taking such great care of my girls

    I couldn't be happier with this childcare center, and I want to give special kudos to educators Rakhi and Monica. They're simply fantastic! Rakhi and Monica are passionate, dedicated, and caring. They create a stimulating environment where kids learn through play and exploration. My child has blossomed under their guidance. Safety is a top priority here, and I appreciate their attention to detail. This center is more than just childcare; it's a place where kids thrive, thanks to Rakhi and Monica's exceptional care and teaching. Highly recommended!
