Evolution Program

We know that each child is a unique individual and we tailor our Evolution program to ensure they receive a holistic approach to early learning focused on providing developmental, emotional and social support.

Our fundamental philosophy and Evolution program is built on the learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and our daily program is divided into 7 key scholar, wellbeing, wellness, creative, core, discovery and global sustainability, guaranteeing children receive a well-rounded education.

No two little learners are the same, so no one learning approach can cater to all children and their eagerness to play, learn and grow. Our Evolution program is versatile and flexible, allowing learning to occur across all ages and abilities. With inspiration from the Reggio Amelia and Gardener approaches, we incorporate both structured and spontaneous learning experiences throughout our daily program, taking into account children’s likes, dislikes and areas of interest to provide an engaging daily program.

Our daily program also fosters Vygotsky’s theory of social development, encouraging opportunities for social learning each and every day. By incorporating permanent staffing in each room, children can build strong and supportive relationships with their room educators, allowing them to develop in a safe and familiar environment.

Building strong partnerships with our families is paramount to our program and we work hard to ensure we provide constant feedback on each child’s progression throughout the year via daily observations on Kinderloop, educator/parent interviews and comprehensive child milestone checklists.

Testimonials

Being a brand new center was one of the reasons I first enrolled our daughter into Young Academics. After meeting the friendly staff, I had no reason but to believe that she would be well looked after.

Although she only attended a couple of days a week, she had fun learning, loved the staff and became school ready.

This gave us no hesitation in enrolling our son, who too is enjoying his time more and more each day.

My daughter Jacinta Abraham is in the Preschool 2 Room, I absolutely LOVE the educators not only in her room but throughout the whole centre. Every morning without fail the teachers are very very welcoming and make me feel at ease dropping Jacinta off at 8 am. I have never felt happier at any preschool the way I feel at Young Academics Merrylands. Miss Charlene is definitely the face of the centre always happy and cheerful. The staff are so well behaved and spoken so I know that my daughter is receiving the best attention and education before entering Kindergarten next year!! In the afternoon when I pick Jacinta up from the centre the same staff are still happy and welcoming, and there is no better feeling as a parent to see that through the educators that are with your child all day.

Young Academics Castle Hill is a fantastic centre. The team at YA provide a caring and nurturing environment not only for the children attending but for the child's entire family.We have been able to put our trust in the team to be sensitive to the needs of our child and provide the very best in care, positive health and nutrition education and an engaging curriculum. Our son loves attending and enjoys spending time with each and every educator. As a full time mum working, I know my son is safe , happy and having a great time each and everyday that he attends the centre.

I would highly recommend this centre to anyone looking for a care. The best thing is the centre is an old heritage house that has been transformed , the warm homely feel you get when you walk in the door is the key for me.

Thank you Ladies for each and every day, we love it there!

Young Academics Wyong is a wonderful centre, full of passionate and creative staff that are continually crafting playful and educational experiences for the kids. I couldn't be happier with Young Academics Wyong and the YA Team!

I was quite apprehensive to change from family day care to a centre-based day care, but the staff at YA Elderslie have put all my concerns to rest. My 17 month old son has the best time there and the staff genuinely care for the children. Photos I receive on the Kinderloop app just make my day. My son’s talking has gone through the roof since starting also! Its obvious that the staff really interact with the children. I am so happy and comfortable to leave my son with these amazing people

- Jenny Petith

When walking into the centre my children are always greeted with love and I am always made to feel welcome.

- Kira Edwards

The staff and facilities at YA Elderslie have exceeded our expectations. We were asked for our individual children's routines as opposed to being handed the center routine and the staff have gone above and beyond to accomodate for each of our 3 children's emotional, physical and educational needs. The facilities are state of the art, incredibly clean and the toys are engaging and educational. The staff greet us each morning with a big smile and always approach and assist with making morning good bye's effortless and tear free! The meals are nutritious and the menu is diverse and I find our children eating foods they wouldn't normally consider trying at home. The kinderloop app keeps you updated with pictures and descriptions of what the children are doing in real time so you never feel left out of your child's experiences and gives us lots to talk about on the drive home. I've seen a positive change in our children and their confidence has grown, they look forward to attending each day and that's so important as a working parent, you just want to know they are happy and well cared for and we feel fortunate to have found a centre that is able to meet our families needs.

From the moment I walked into Young Academics Elderslie I knew we were meant to be here.The teachers go out of their way to greet each child and parent and make them feel special. I have 3 children attending YA Elderslie and each in different rooms. The quality of care we receive from each educator exceeds any place we have been to. We have been to three different child cares over 5 years and YA Elderslie is superior to all. Nothing is too much trouble for the centre manager Leanne, and everyone above has been amazing too (Kristy, Alison and Vanessa). My children enjoy the tasty and healthy menu, the large variety of arts and crafts, the learning experiences offered and the very exciting and engaging outdoors. My children look forward to going to "school" and no tears to attend. Thank you YA Elderslie you have been a wonderful asset to my children's learning.

Young Academics Smeaton Grange has provided my son with an avenue to thrive in his development whilst enhancing his social skills. I have always been a sceptic about day care but this centre has completely changed my view and I am extremely happy with the care they provide. The staff are all very accomodating and friendly and continue to make myself, my husband and my son feel very welcome. It's nice to know that he is loved and well cared for when I'm at work and I see that through their interaction with him when I drop him off and pick him up and through what I can view on Kinderloop. A wonderful team with an enthusiasm for young child development. They should all be commended.
