Y.A. Workshops

Designed to complement our existing programs, the Young Academics Workshops bring a new level of excitement to learning.

Our Music and Movement Workshop is a play-based learning program which supports children’s holistic development. These 20–30-minute weekly classes for all age groups are the perfect way for children to experience fun and engaging music and movement lessons with our expert educators and teachers.

S.T.E.A.M.

Children attending Young Academics centres will soon benefit from weekly science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics (S.T.E.A.M) workshops with dedicated educators employed to deliver the program from Term Four. Assistant Centre Manager Zoe Cleary and Early Childhood Teacher Aimee Mathai will travel between Young Academics’ 25-centre-strong network of early learning centres to run the S.T.E.A.M workshops, tailoring the activities and content for specific age groups, such as the nursery children and pre-school cohort – at no additional cost to families. Programmed activities will include science experiments, coding, construction, painting, and geometry.
