Early Learning Victoria Ngawak

We’re building an early learning and childcare centre at McClelland Secondary College in Frankston, next to Ballam Park Primary School.

The Victorian Government-owned centre will be run by Early Learning Victoria. The centre will provide long day care and Three- and Four-Year-Old Kindergarten programs with space for up to 102 local children each day.

The centre will have outdoor play areas, a maternal and child health consulting room, and a carpark. It will also have a community room for meetings and playgroup.

Building the centre at the school will help some parents avoid the double drop-off. It makes childcare and early learning accessible and convenient for working parents and carers. It can also make the transition to school easier for some children.

Visit the Early Learning Victoria website for more information about the government-operated centres.

Your centre's name

Early Learning Victoria Ngawak (pronounced NGUH-wuck) has been chosen as the name of the new early learning and childcare centre at McClelland Secondary College. Ngawak is a Boonwurrung word meaning ‘listen, understand’ and was provided by Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation.

This centre was previously known as Early Learning Victoria Frankston (interim name) and McClelland College Early Learning and Childcare Centre (interim name).
