So happy with this daycare, both my children started when it opened 2 years ago, with just my son attending now. My son has multiple food allergies and the centre has always been very vigilant regarding this with good procedures in place that get followed. I have always felt that my children are in good hands and with staff that care about them.Thank you ❤️

I am so grateful for our experience at Young Academics (Penrith Coreen Ave). It has been a wonderful start for my son, who was in preschool here and has now started school this year. He learned so much and really grew in confidence during his time at the centre. The environment is incredibly welcoming, and the educators are so supportive, loving, and caring—they truly made us feel like part of a family. A special thank you to the manager, Jessica, who is always kind, professional, and approachable. We’re truly thankful for the care and dedication shown to our son, and I highly recommend this centre to any parents looking for a nurturing and educational place for their children.

From the first day we walked in there has been nothing but support for both my daughter and I. As a first time mum it can be very scary leaving your baby but YA made the process easy! My family and I are so beyond grateful to all the staff here. Our daughter has come out of her shell and is succeeding in all milestones.

My daughter has been attending YA for 2 months now and she’s thriving, her social skills are building and she’s always so happy to go to school. All the educators are so lovely and you can see they really care about each and every child who attends, special mention to Miss Hollie and Miss Ashlee who always greet Piper with a smile and a cuddle of a morning. Highly recommend ☺️

Absolutely incredible centre and we miss the educators! From the moment we first took a tour my daughter was instantly comfortable and happy to play. Mornings were always a breeze as my daughter would always reach out and willingly go to her educators. The way they adored and cared for my daughter gave me the most peace of mind when leaving her in their care. It was such a shame that we needed to move closer to home or else she would have been there her whole pre-school life. Will always be thankful for you all :) - Dakotas mum xo

My son started at Young Academics Penrith in August this year. At frist he would cry on drop off but now he loves going each day and looks forward to school each day because he has built wonderful relationships with his teachers. He has grown so much and absolutely loves his new school. He loves the big slide outside and can't stop talking about it every day he comes home. The fun exciting activities we see in our daily communication from the centre each day is fantastic. The centre is bright and inviting each day and the educators are lovley on drop off and picks up. We 100% recommend YA penrith. The care and love they give to our son goes above and beyond. The centre is always well presented, clean and tidy. Thank you for all you do for our son.

Could not recommend this centre any higher! We were an existing family with Young Academics in Cranebrook but found we weren’t getting tailored care where needed, such as toileting and training for our eldest. We made the move to Coreen Ave centre and it was the best thing we ever did. Moving our daughter showed a complete 180 in the first week - she went from holding her bladder all day, to independently using the toilet at Coreen Avenue by the Friday of her first week. The teachers provide an exceptional level of care and are exactly what my daughters needed. We particularly love that the yard is a shared space, so our daughters who are in different aged rooms get to come together at certain times of the day and have play time with each other. Being a smaller centre, we find the level of care is unmatched and highly recommend to anyone. Lennon and Paisley love you all, YA Coreen team!
