Early Learning Victoria Ngawak

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

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

The centre has outdoor play areas, a maternal and child health consulting room, and a carpark. It also has 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.

Your centre's name

Early Learning Victoria Ngawak (pronounced NGUH-wuck) was chosen as the name. Ngawak is a Boonwurrung word meaning ‘listen, understand’ and was provided by Bunurong Land Council Aboriginal Corporation.

While being built this centre was previously known as Early Learning Victoria Frankston (interim name) and McClelland College Early Learning and Childcare Centre (interim name).
