Our child care services are founded and run by the YMCA, the world’s largest youth organisation. As a not for profit, the money we make is invested back into your centre, your child’s education and your local community. What matters most to us is caring for your children, not making a profit.
Going to YMCA Child Care means being a part of the Y family. Our sense of community means every child and parent feels a sense of belonging when they walk (or crawl) through our doors. Our passionate staff are the reason YMCA children love to learn, play and grow. Many of our staff have been with the Y for years, and play a key role in creating a safe, familiar and nurturing environment.
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 other kids and begin to consider other’s emotions. They develop responsibility as they are given small jobs like washing paintbrushes or watering the garden. They practise Honesty when educators encourage them to admit their mistakes and learn how to say sorry.
