About YMCA Acacia Ridge Child Care Centre

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.

We have provided early learning child care support and expertise to Acacia Ridge families for 40 years, and our amazing Director Renata has been a familiar face at the centre for more than 20 years.

The outdoor play area and ‘musical sandpit’ are the perfect setting for children to explore and create their very own musical masterpiece. Our educators provide endless opportunities for children to explore their sense of sound, art, music and other fun and interactive experiences.

Through our partnership with YMCA Gymnastics, we provide children with regular KinderGym lessons - an easy class to let kids unleash their imagination and learn simple gymnastics skills.
