We are beyond grateful to have found Young Academics From the very first day, our son felt safe, happy, and engaged. The educators are not only incredibly nurturing, but also genuinely invested in the children's growth and development. Special thanks to Miss Radha and Miss Ashwini who has been a true gem – always welcoming with a warm smile and an update about the day.The center is spotless, filled with enriching activities, and has a calm, caring atmosphere that feels like a second home. They keep us informed with daily updates and photos, which gives us complete peace of mind while we're at work.We've seen such positive changes in our son's social skills, independence, and language since he started here – he actually looks forward to going every time!I can't recommend Young Academics highly enough. If you're looking for a place where your child will be loved, supported, and encouraged to thrive, this is it.

As a first time mum I was very hesitant to leave my child in someone else’s care but young academics especially pendle hill staff have honestly taken away my fear… they’re very upfront with the information that parents need to know when it comes you children’s development via the technology they use to update us parents… and topping this all up is their care for the kids… my child has learnt how to be independent since starting child care. I would recommend this place anytime.

Having to go back to work after maternity leave can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to trusting someone else to care for your child. But the educators at Young Academics Pendle Hill have been nothing short of amazing. Over the past two years, my daughter has progressed through three classes, and I’ve seen her grow into a confident and independent little lady.The center is always clean, and they truly value and welcome parent input, which makes me feel even more involved in her development. I’m so grateful for the dedication and care the staff provide every day. Highly recommend this center to any parent looking for a nurturing and professional environment for their child!

I’m satisfied with the Young Academics Early Learning Centre at Pendle Hill. My son joined the team with special needs. The team accepted all of our and our therapists' input for transition, care, food requirements, and supporting his needs. He has attended the service for almost a Year. The Pendle Hill toddler room team and junior preschool team are still welcoming my input as my child's needs are changing due to his condition.The only suggestion I can give is that if the head office of Young Academics could allocate staff specially trained to look after special needs children, it would be more appreciable. Because these children communicate differently, a differentiated approach is needed for them. Rather than a therapist, I believe initial caregivers understand a child better. If there is a specialised caregiver, these children can benefit greatly.
