We have two beautiful, spacious early learning centres near you based in Acacia Ridge and Sunshine Coast. All centres are easily accessible and close to public transport.
Our Sunshine Coast and Brisbane childcare centres offer large outdoor areas for kids to explore, play together and learn in nature. With inbuilt shaded playgrounds, sandpits, gardens, cubby houses and a variety of outside play equipment, our kids love spending time in the fresh air! When children aren’t playing outside, they’ll be in our bright, open and colourful indoor spaces. All of our centres have well-resourced indoor play areas with books, craft supplies, toys, learning materials and much more.
Built with lots of love, any YMCA early learning centre will become a home away from home for your child.
Flexible Childcare Sessions
We offer flexible long day care hours to suit each family’s needs. Depending on each YMCA Early Learning Centre, you can choose from our 6-hour, 9-hour, 10-hour or full day sessions.
YMCA Early Learning is an approved provider under National Quality Standards. We are also approved to offer eligible families the Government Child Care Subsidy. Find out more about sessions at Acacia Ridge and the Sunshine Coast, or contact us for advice that’s tailored to your needs.
Long Day Care and Early Learning for Different Ages and Stages
YMCA educators are experts in early learning and care. Our childcare centres are available to children from birth to six years old. We provide age-specific care for children, and understand that every child is at a different stage of development. With a range of play-based activities on offer for different age groups, kids at the Y are given the opportunity to flourish throughout their early learning centre experience.
Long day care balanced meal plans crafted by experienced nutritionists
At YMCA Child Care, we have qualified cooks to provide nutritious meals at every early learning centre. We prepare food designed to help kids focus, stabilise their energy and improve their mood. We cater to dietary requirements, ensuring all kids are given the nutrition they need to grow.

We take a creative, play-based approach towards growing little minds. Every child at the Y is given a rich and unique learning experience that will give them the best possible start in life.
