I joined the Pelican Preschool family in 2018, and I truly feel incredibly fortunate to have such a rewarding role.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I love most about being the Director is that I don&#8217;t simply lead from behind a desk \u2014 I get to work alongside our amazing Team Pelican every day. Being part of the children&#8217;s experiences, supporting our educators and building genuine relationships with our families is what makes my role so special.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>I am incredibly grateful to have chosen a career that allows me to help shape the early years of so many children&#8217;s lives. These early years provide such an important foundation for children&#8217;s future learning, relationships, confidence and wellbeing, and it is a privilege to be part of that journey.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Pelican Preschool \u2014 I look forward to meeting you and your family.\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Alicia Ryzko, Centre Director @ Campbelltown<\/p>\n<h2>Our Approach to Early Learning<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/pelicanpreschool.nsw.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Child-Safety.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pelicanpreschool.nsw.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Child-Safety.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/pelicanpreschool.nsw.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Child-Safety-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pelicanpreschool.nsw.edu.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Child-Safety-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3>A Child-Safe and Inclusive Environment<\/h3>\n<p>\t\tThe safety, wellbeing and protection of every child is at the heart of everything we do. As a boutique centre, we value the close relationships we develop with children and families and take pride in creating an environment where children feel safe, respected, heard, valued and supported.<\/p>\n<p>We promote a child-safe culture where children are encouraged to express their feelings, share their ideas and speak up when something does not feel right. Our educators build trusting and respectful relationships with children and remain attentive to their individual needs, wellbeing and sense of security.<\/p>\n<p>We recognise that every child has the right to feel safe and included, regardless of their background, culture, abilities or individual circumstances. We foster an inclusive environment where diversity is respected and every child is encouraged to participate, develop confidence and be themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Our educators maintain a strong focus on child protection, supervision, positive relationships and safe practices throughout the Centre.

Our twin boys began attending Pelican this year, and the change has been transformative. We had previously struggled with another center, which caused us to question our approach to supporting our boys&#8217; development.

My daughter Madison now goes there as I couldn&#8217;t think of a better place to send her where I know she will be, loved, supported, encouraged and cared for fantastically. Casey, Becky, Emmy, and Vicki are staff there that have been there since I can remember and there are the kindest, understanding, trusting, honest, loving ladies. They have some other staff that I&#8217;m getting to know and i think there going to be just as fantastic! \ud83d\ude42 The staff at pelican have never hesitated to work with me and even give me tips.

The staff have been there for a really long time, are extremely easy to talk to about any concerns or questions you may have. Most importantly our girls love coming to school!\u201d<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Emma V<\/cite><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cOur son has been going to Pelican\u2019s for 2 years now and we couldn\u2019t be happier. The growth and development that we have seen over this time has been amazing. Our son was moved over to Pelican\u2019s at the age of two and could not put more than two words together, within a month the communication skills he had developed was incredible. The hard work and dedication of the staff does not go unnoticed; our son comes home daily with something new to tell us about and is always eager to get back to his educators and friends! Staff at Pelican\u2019s go above and beyond with each and every child within their service and the genuine love and care is so clearly displayed all through the Centre and within the children. There is not a day where I worry that my child isn\u2019t being cared for to my standard and we will forever be grateful to all the staff here at Pelican\u2019s.\u201d<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Ashlee S<\/cite>\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h2>Gallery<\/h2>\n<h2>Interested to Enrol?<\/h2>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/pelicanpreschool.nsw.edu.au\/contact-us\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tContact Us Now<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We use a whole-center water filtration system.
