Dundas Childcare Centre
Welcome to Young Academics Dundas.
Our state-of-the-art facility is designed with both indoor and outdoor spaces that cater to the holistic development of every child.
We follow a comprehensive educational program tailored to each child’s developmental stage. Our curriculum is designed to;
– Foster social and emotional development through interactive play and group activities
– Promote cognitive skills through age-appropriate educational materials and guided exploration.
– Encourage creativity and self-expression through art, music and imaginative play.
– Develop fine and gross motor skills through structured activities and free play.
Our indoor spaces are carefully planned to encourage exploration and creativity. Equipped with age-appropriate toys, games and learning materials, these spaces are ideal for imaginative play and skill building activities. 4 distinct learning zones are designed with interactive displays, educational tools and a variety of age-appropriate books to foster a love for learning. Outdoor play areas serve as a haven for exploration and physical activity. Surrounded by lush greenery, children have the opportunity to connect with nature, whilst enjoying slides, climbing structures and more. Our innovative approach extends learning beyond the indoor space. Outdoor classrooms provide a unique setting for hands on activities, science experiments and group projects, fostering a deeper connection with the natural world.
Healthy eating habits are cultivated from a young age. At Young Academics, we provide nutritious, balanced meals and snacks prepared on site. Our menus are carefully curated to offer a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein. We accommodate dietary restrictions and work closely with families to ensure every child’s individual needs are met.
Our dedicated team of experienced Educators are committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment that prepare children for a lifetime of learning.
All nappies and wipes are included. Cot linen provided (excludes stretcher bed linen).
