Welcome to the Campbelltown Centre

Meet Our Director: Alicia Ryzko

My name is Alicia, and I am privileged to be the Nominated Supervisor and Director of Pelican Preschool – Campbelltown. I joined the Pelican Preschool family in 2018, and I truly feel incredibly fortunate to have such a rewarding role.

One of the things I love most about being the Director is that I don’t simply lead from behind a desk — I get to work alongside our amazing Team Pelican every day. Being part of the children’s experiences, supporting our educators and building genuine relationships with our families is what makes my role so special.

Over the years, we have worked hard to build strong, meaningful and lasting relationships with our children and their families. We are also proud to have developed strong connections within our local community and to be a preschool where families feel welcomed, valued and supported.

With more than 25 years of experience in Early Childhood Education and Care, including over 15 years as a Centre Director, I am incredibly proud to lead a team of passionate, caring, honest and dedicated educators. Our team comes from a range of diverse backgrounds and brings with them a wealth of knowledge, experiences and perspectives. I believe this diversity makes our team stronger and enriches the experiences we are able to provide for the children in our care.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working alongside children and families from many different backgrounds and circumstances. I take great pride in being able to support families within our community and to make a positive difference, no matter how big or small.

I am incredibly grateful to have chosen a career that allows me to help shape the early years of so many children’s lives. These early years provide such an important foundation for children’s future learning, relationships, confidence and wellbeing, and it is a privilege to be part of that journey.

I am equally grateful for the incredible educators I get to work alongside each day. Together, we share our knowledge, learn from one another, support each other and bring our individual strengths and experiences together. Most importantly, we share a genuine passion for educating, nurturing and caring for the little giants of our future.

Welcome to Pelican Preschool — I look forward to meeting you and your family.
