Become a Kelly Club Program Coordinator!

About Us

Kelly Club provides Before School Care, After School Care and Holiday Care programs throughout Victoria. Our aim is to provide not just "a childcare facility", but to run programs in a safe environment that entertain and inspire our future generations.

Our goal is to give children opportunities to do the things they love and enjoy in a supportive and encouraging environment. We use a professional program model that is fun and promotes children's wellbeing, learning and development.

Programs are focused around sports, cooking, games, discovery, and arts and craft activities as well as relaxation time around a busy life at school. Children are encouraged, educated and entertained during their time in our programs.

Kelly Club is closely aligned with Kelly Sports. Kelly Sports has been providing a range of curricular and extracurricular sporting programs for children in Australia since 1994.
