Young Minds Are Encouraged to Grow At YMCA’S Early Learning Centre

YMCA’s Early Learning Centres are a popular option for families in Melbourne’s South East seeking a nurturing and engaging environment, where young minds are encouraged to grow. The Y believes that it takes a village to raise a child, which is why they work closely with families and their community to support their child’s development.

The YMCA’s play-based curriculum is designed to help each child build their confidence and self-esteem, while fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning. Through play, children learn about the world and themselves in a fun and interactive way. The opportunity for children
to experience the power of learning together in large and small groups while still pursuing their own individual learning pathways is something the Y supports each child to achieve.

The team of skilled educators focus on nurturing a child’s development and empowering them to embrace discovery and adventure in everything they do. Educators place great importance on children’s safety and wellbeing, so parents and carers can trust that their children are in safe and capable hands throughout each day.The Australian Childhood Foundations has accredited the YMCA as a child-safe organisation and they are known for creating a welcoming and inclusive
environment where all children feel valued and supported in their
learning journey.

There are five centres in the Casey/Cardinia region that cater for children from 6 weeks to 5 years of age in Clyde North, Clyde North Moroak, Cranbourne North, Pakenham, and Narre Warren. Each YMCA centre is committed to providing a sense of belonging, where children are valued and each child’s interest is engaged in new ways.
