What Families Say
Hear from real parents about their experiences with Young Academics
My child loves attending YA at Westminster. He started off rocky not being able to communicate and was very upset when I left. He now cannot wait to jump out of the car and sings his songs on the way, knows the routine and is now chatting away with new words everyday. Thanks to all the staff for all your efforts.

My son absolutely loves going to childcare at Young Academics Westminster, and the difference it has made in his development has been remarkable. Since starting with YA, he has shown incredible signs of growth, not just in his learning and development, but in his confidence and overall happiness. He comes home smiling, eager to share what he's been up to, and genuinely excited to go back each day.The educators create such a warm and nurturing environment where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to thrive. It's clear that every staff member truly cares about the little ones in their care, and that love and dedication shines through in everything they do. We want to thank Miss Sonia, Miss Hind, Miss Aisha (from infants room), Miss Kim, Miss Eloisa, Miss Kirti (from toddlers room) for making my son feel at home. Apologies if I have missed to mention anyone, we are forever greatful!We couldn't be happier with our experience at Young Academics. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible work you do every single day, you have made such a positive impact on our little boy and our family! 👏

I highly recommend Young Academics! The teachers, especially Miss Mini, are incredibly friendly and caring. When I first enrolled my child, I was nervous about his first day, but Miss Mini's warmth and kindness immediately put us at ease. She quickly became my child's favorite teacher! Thank you, Miss Mini and the entire Orange Group teacher at Young Academics, for providing such a nurturing environment.

From the moment we enrolled Sandra at the center, we've been consistently impressed by the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the entire staff. The educators create a nurturing environment where our child feels safe, loved, and excited to learn each day.Communication with parents is outstanding. We receive regular updates, photos, and insights into our child's daily activities, which keeps us connected and reassured.

Choosing Young Academics for our son was an easy decision to make, as one of our elder children also attended the same daycare in Marsden Park a few years ago. From day one, the educators have been warm, caring, and genuinely invested in our child's learning and comfort.It’s amazing to see how much he’s learnt since he started, and his educators do a great job of keeping us in the loop with updates and photos through the app, which gives us so much peace of mind during the day.The center itself is clean, safe, and well-organised, which was a main decision in choosing this center. We couldn’t be happier with our experience so far at Young Academics and would absolutely recommend it to other parents!

We recently moved to Tallawong and looking for a child care center where our daughter can settle and enjoy her time. After going for a month now we can see that Ishani was bit hesitant in the starting but seems like she is settling well in this new center.The curriculum is engaging and varied, with a great balance of structured activities and free play. Each day brings something new, whether it's storytime, creative arts, outdoor play, or learning about colors and numbers. The center has a wonderful outdoor play area with age-appropriate equipment, and it’s evident the children have a lot of fun there while also learning important social skills.Young Academics keeps us updated daily on our child’s activities, meals, and nap schedule, and they share photos and notes through their app.In terms of meals, the center provides healthy, balanced snacks and lunches, accommodating dietary restrictions whenever needed.
