YMCA Child Care (backed by Y Queensland) has been at the heart of Australian communities for more than 40 years.
From our nurturing Early Learning Centres for children from birth to under 5, which lay a strong foundation for future learning, to our engaging Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) for Prep to 12-year-olds, designed to support that crucial transition into school and beyond, and our vital school breakfast programs combating childhood hunger, we offer a continuum of care that grows with your family.
With over 155 years of experience supporting Australian families, we create familiar, safe spaces where children grow in body, mind, and spirit. We’re proud to offer a comprehensive range of services designed to nurture happy, healthy, and confident young people.
OUR VALUES ARE LIFE LESSONS
Honesty, Respect, Caring and Responsibility guide us in all we do. As an organisation, these values help us make the best decisions for children, parents and the community.
We teach these values to children through our everyday care. Children learn the importance of Respect through sharing with others, using their manners and following rules. They learn about Caring when they connect with their peers and begin to consider other’s emotions. They develop Responsibility as they are given small jobs like washing paintbrushes or watering the garden. They practice Honesty when educators encourage them to admit their mistakes and learn how to say sorry.
SAFEGUARDING CHILDREN & YOUNG PEOPLE
The safety and protection of children and young people is paramount. We are committed to safeguarding children and young people through stringent recruitment processes, child safe practices, training, support and staff development. We are independently reviewed by the Australian Childhood Foundation (ACF) to ensure our services are safe for all children and young people.
