AddressYMCA Brisbane proudly offers child care that excites and inspires little minds. We know the magic power that creativity, play and a nurturing environment can have on a child’s confidence and learning.
We are committed to helping children grow in body, mind and spirit. Our early learning centres employ a play-based learning curriculum that teaches children about the world, about others and about themselves. We have your child’s best interests at heart, and we love to see them grow!
ABOUT THE 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.
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.
