If you're looking for a centre with children's health, well-being and development in mind, YA Harris Park is where you will find it. My son has attended YA Harris Park since the opening. Over the years it's been so evident that YA are truly committed to the growth and development of the children. From nutritionists designing their menus, to educators incredible continuous commitment to their programs. I have no doubt that our son has had the best start. I love combination and balance of structure and free play. Forever grateful.. GREAT CENTRE and NURTURING EDUCATORs ♥️♥️♥️

Excellent inclusive day care! My daughter has been attending since Oct 2022 and she is always looking forward to go to daycare every single day. She really loves all her teachers and has made good friends with the other kids. I also feel the teachers are all warm, welcome loving and inclusive which makes me really happy that I’m leaving my girl in very safe hands. I have seen my daughter grow in leaps and bounds since she joined YA and honestly would encourage anyone looking for an excellent inclusive well rounded day care to look no further than YA!I specifically love the fact that if you are concerned about something they listen and respond promptly with action plans on how they will resolve it nd check in with you if you are happy with how its been resolved. Keep it up YA

If you want care for your children like your own then I highly recommend YA Harris park!!My daughter has been here since the school opened during the beginning of 2020, To see her so happy and excited every time she comes home she doesn’t stop talking about her day with her favourite teachers, the food she ate, games she played or new information she has learnt and how excited she is to go back the next day.The centre is clean and hygienic, the food menu is amazing and my daughter never gets bored or hasn’t ever said she didn’t like anything on the menu.The teachers are well presented, genuine, nurturing, loving and caring, you can tell there passion is children it is not just a job for them!My child comes home from school each day the way I dropped her off, her hair is neat, face and hands always clean and clothes are never covered in dirt or paint 🎨 these little details show me the extra care and attention the teachers put into my daughter whilst in there care.There daily communication is incredible with an app that allows you to see what you child is doing throughout the day along with what they have eaten.I cannot recommend them more!! If you put your baby that you love and care sooo much about into YA Harris park you will have peace of mind that they are in the best possible care.My baby is off to kindy this year and whilst I’m so excited for her to venture to her new school I am going to miss the amazing teachers, friendly smiles and caring conversations I have been receiving over the past year.Thank you sooo much to each and every person from YA Harris park for the amazing memories 🥰🥰
