Our exceptional team at YMCA Acacia Ridge Early Learning Centre is one big, happy, multicultural family! Our experienced staff come from many countries including the Czech Republic, Russia, Spain, the Philippines, Pakistan and Australia. This means that your child will enjoy a richly diverse and multicultural learning experience at our Acacia Ridge Child Care Centre.
As early learning educators, we know that children can benefit from sharing the customs of other countries. International food days are a regular event on our calendar, and you’ll often find parents cooking up a cultural storm for one of our themed food days. We also read books, sing songs and share stories in celebration of diversity and many different cultures that make up Australia.
