Welcome to Penguin Childcare Penguin Childcare Early Learning Centres provide excellence in early learning and development. The centres provide specially designed programs for newborns through to children up to six years that cater for each child's individual needs. Penguin Childcare Early Learning Centres deliver a positive, bright and happy atmosphere that is bursting with enthusiasm, .
Services
Penguin Childcare centres follow the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). There are three concepts that come from the Early Years Learning Framework and that is Belonging, Being and Becoming. Belonging acknowledges children's independence with others and the basis of relationships in defining identities.
It's hard to know what to expect when you're first enrolling in childcare. So to make it easier for you, we've created a parent handbook for you to view online or print out to read later.
The parent handbook contains lots of helpful information about what to expect from childcare, what to bring on your child's first day and other useful information such as links to government sites with information about the CCS and any benefits you may be entitled to.If you require any further information, please feel free to call or drop in to any one of our centres to discuss your needs with the Centre Manager or any of our educators.

At our centres, we offer an active and exciting kindergarten or preschool program with passionate Early Childhood Teachers, the convenience of meals and extended hours to fit in with your busy days. You may also be eligible for up to 36 hours of funding with your Child Care Subsidy! Our kindergarten and preschool program is the perfect way to support your child's school readiness in an exciting, engaging way.
The Government Child Care Subsidy (CCS) aims to make early learning more affordable; however, we understand it's not always easy to navigate. Our ultimate purpose is to ensure our families have all the tools and information at their disposal to feel confident in their children's journey in early childhood education.

Highly recommend this amazing centre!
We have been with them since 8 years and have seen them maintain their high standards of child care services/kinder programs.
The staff are knowledgeable and highly skilled. They really do treat your kids as their own and look after them with utmost care and affection.
The kinder program is excellent! They prepare your child really well for school and the transition is smooth.
Andrea and Emma are absolutely fabulous. They are very proactive and manage the centre exceptionally well!
Once again, a special mention to the staff. Each of them is simply outstanding

Our family has been with this childcare facility since Jan 2012. 2020 will be our last year and it will be sad to leave this beautiful bunch of women and men. The rooms are cool on a hot day and warm when its cold. There has never been a "stink' factor from the change rooms and I love that they always have fresh air coming in. The BEST thing about this childcare is - The LONG TERM STAFF. People don't stay in the same job if its a bad environment . We have had the same staff looking after both of our sons, years apart. The Turners love you guys!

Hudson always speaks so highly of Michael and seems to really enjoy his company when he is in the kinder room or at the end of day when they are in the grouping room. He is always polite, and welcoming or farewells Hudson until next time, making him feel truly cared for, as a mum this is very important. Knowing your son is confident and feels safe and secure in his environment away from home. Michael is very practical and patient with us during the pickup process, never rushing us along even though I can see he is sometimes under a bit of pressure with multiple parents picking up their children

From the moment I entered I knew we had found the right place for our son and since that moment I have been beyond happy with the change I made to his care! My son absolutely loves coming to Penguin, where he has made friends, made huge developmental improvements and been taken care of above and beyond by all!
I feel like a part of the Penguin family and I cannot recommend the centre highly enough to anyone that will listen. I am glad that my son has found a place that is like a second home.

Cannot recommend this centre highly enough!! We made the move to Penguin from another centre and we have not looked back. The staff are all amazing, including Andrea and Emma who are extremely friendly, hardworking and very dedicated. The rooms have a magical feel to them that I absolutely love. My son has thrived here in such a short time. Walking in each morning to friendly faces who know my son and the small things like a scented candle prove that this centre will go above and beyond!

I'm so disappointed with poor management here! Wasted my time today been invited to have a tour - and was turned away from the entrance as the childcare is fully booked till next year. I just keep receiving tons of annoying reminders for a canceled appointment. What's the point?...
Didn't want to write all this negative stuff here, but no other childcare sends any spam after a visit. So here is my feedback.

This facility is 5 star! The staff are very friendly, welcoming and make you feel like its a home away from home. The effort put into decorating each of the rooms is outstanding and second to none. The educators really go over and above with their jobs to make the kids feel happy and nurtured in their environment. I love the beautiful candles and scents they often have at the front desk making you feel immediately relaxed upon entry. The girls on the front desk don't get enough credit for how fantastic and welcoming they are and nothing you ask is ever too much trouble! I would recommend this facility

Both my daughters attend Penguin in Caroline Springs and I find it very welcoming. My girls love the teachers and have established strong bonds with many of them. Facilities are clean & tidy & there is so much for kids to play with & explore. I highly recommend Penguin to all mummies & daddies who are looking for a kinder/childcare centre!

I love Penguin! The staff are amazing and take such great care of my baby. I know she's happy there because she always wants to hug the workers and is happy for me to leave her there. Daily updates via the app with photos get me through my day at work. Facilities are well maintained and clean. I know she is being taken care of, played with, nurtured, well fed and loved and that's why I send her to penguin!
