Young Academics Early Learning Centre - The Ponds

Conveniently located in North West Sydney our Young Academics The Ponds service caters for children aged six weeks to five years, providing a resource-rich learning environment designed to encourage a love of lifelong learning. Young Academics is renowned for its distinctive approach to high-quality early childhood education that is tailored to the needs of each individual child.

Our centre is purpose-built to create vibrant, stimulating learning environments designed to nurture children’s cognitive development, confidence and social skills during the critical early learning years. As a forward-thinking organisation we are constantly researching and reflecting to discover the latest advances in early childhood education.

Through our custom-designed programs – the Evolution Program and the Transition to School Program – our passionate, experienced educators, many of whom are multilingual, deliver a holistic education balancing organised experiences with play-based learning at stations dedicated to key skills including numeracy, literacy, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), music, drama and art.

Our indoor learning environments are packed with age-appropriate resources promoting imaginative play, experimentation and collaboration. Our outdoor learning environments help children develop their curiosity, gross motor skills and understanding of sustainability using resources such as building areas, sandpits, bike tracks, herb gardens and worm farms.

Each Young Academics Early Learning Centre works closely with families and the local community to meet children’s needs, and many families continue to visit our educators many years after their children have moved on to school.

Children enjoy five nutritious meals and snacks every day, prepared by our in-house cooks, and all nappies and wipes are included. Cot linen provided (excludes stretcher bed linen).
