At Young Academics, we believe in a child-centric play-based approach to learning. Our curriculum is based on the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and is designed to cater to the individual needs and interests of every child. Through play-based experiences, structured activities and hands on learning, we encourage curiosity, creativity and a lifelong love for learning. Children up to age three participate in the tailored Evolution Program, while those between three and five join the Transition to School Program.
The centre boasts three classrooms split on 2 levels within a home style setting, creating a cosy and intimate atmosphere for children. Our indoor environment is thoughtfully designed to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, conducive to learning and play. The outdoor area features a large swing, sandpits and climbing structures providing ample opportunities for children to develop gross motor skills and enjoy playtime.
The outdoor play area is an extension of the learning environment, designed to promote physical activity, exploration and imaginative play featuring natural Elements, play Structures, Vegetable & Sensory Gardens & 3 seperate age appropriate areas.
