About the Business
Welcome to Young Academics Early Learning Centre - Smeaton Grange, conveniently located in the heart of Smeaton Grange, Australia. Our establishment is not just a school, but a point of interest where children can embark on a journey of learning and discovery.
Our Early Learning Centre has been thoughtfully designed with interconnecting rooms, creating a dynamic group learning environment that fosters strong social skills. Inside, children will find an engaging indoor space filled with a wide range of educational resources. From wooden blocks that develop numeracy skills to a pretend cooking area that promotes imaginative play, our facilities are designed to inspire and excite young minds. An art space encourages creativity, and a relaxing reading area instills a love of literacy from the very beginning.
Outside, our outdoor learning environment offers even more opportunities for growth and exploration. Children can build problem-solving skills in our cubby house and sandpit, or enjoy free play and fitness in the open space. Beyond our fence, a heritage-protected creek bed invites children to discover and connect with their natural environment. Our professional educators utilize the vegetable garden and worm farm to teach children about sustainability and healthy eating, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the planet.
At Young Academics, we cater to children up to age three through our tailored Evolution Program, while those between three and five participate in our Transition to School Program. Our dedicated in-house cook prepares five nutritious meals every day, ensuring that your child receives the fuel they need for optimal growth and development. We also provide all nappies and wipes, and cot linen is provided (excluding stretcher bed linen).
We invite you to come and explore our state-of-the-art facilities in person. Meet our passionate local educators, who are committed to providing the best possible learning experience for your child. Learn more about our programs and how they can benefit your child's early years.
At Young Academics Early Learning Centre, we also want to acknowledge and pay our respects to all Traditional Custodians across Australia. We recognize and honor the continued cultural and spiritual connection that First Nations peoples have to the land, sky, and waterways that surround us. We extend our respect to Elders, both past and present.
Join us at Young Academics Early Learning Centre - Smeaton Grange, where we are dedicated to providing an exceptional early learning experience that sets the foundation for a lifetime of learning and success.

Reviews
"Ever since Covid started the centre has been on the decline. They have a high staff turnover, processes constantly changing, and much more. I am disappointed with the childcare services that were received."
"My almost 3 year old daughter attended this centre for about 9 months. Every single day that she attended, she cried and begged not be taken (even physically shaking at times). At first we thought that she just needed the time to adjust. In those 9 months, her teacher changed so many times that by the end of her time there, I didn't know who her teacher was anymore, due to very high staff turnover. While I can definitely understand the issues currently ocurring with staffing in daycares, it should not affect the quality of care that kids are receiving. Every afternoon we picked her up, she would be sitting by herself staring into space and it absolutely broke my heart. I don't know why the staff didnt bother encouraging her to play and get involved. There were also so many mixed messages from the staff (I.e. one saying she ate, one saying she did not etc). I'm so glad that I pulled daughter out of this centre as the experience for her was almost traumatic!"
"This centre has gone down hill extremely fast this year, from almost all educators leaving and being replaced by casuals, which I think, is a strong reflection of management. I would not recommend enrolling your children here unless you're happy to pay top dollar for a centre that provides the bare minimum, that I would be surprised meets the standards and regulations of the department. Little documentation, resources, activities and routine, and no school readiness program."
"The staff are amazing. So welcoming. Our daughter was settled in even before she walked through the door on her 1st day. Every morning when she arrives she is greeted so warming and always have a smile on their faces. In the afternoon i am greeted and given all the information about her day as they can possibly say. We love YA Smeaton Grange and are looking forward to another year as part of the family."
