About the Business
Welcome to YMCA Ashdale Early Learning Centre, located at 44 Westport Parade in Darch, Australia. Our establishment is a point of interest that offers a unique and enriching experience for children from birth to 5 years old.
One of the standout features of our centre is the fantastic nature escape area, which allows children to connect with the outdoors and explore the wonders of nature. This outdoor exploration is a key aspect of our centre's philosophy, aimed at encouraging play and learning. Built in 2012 by the YMCA, our facility offers spacious and vibrant environments that provide the perfect setting for children to thrive.
Situated on the grounds of Ashdale Primary School, our centre offers a smooth transition into schooling. This proximity allows for a seamless integration into the school community, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience for your child.
With 55 places available, we provide a nurturing and supportive environment for each child. Our on-site child health nurse is available four days a week, ensuring the well-being of every child in our care. Additionally, our central meeting place, known as the "Piazza," serves as a gathering space for children to share meals and interact with one another.
At YMCA Ashdale, we believe in nurturing the whole child. Our outdoor space features real grass, water pumps, logs, trees, outdoor kitchenettes, rock pits, and vegetable and flower gardens. These elements allow children to engage in imaginative play and develop a connection with nature. We also prioritize nutrition by serving nutritious home-style food prepared on-site by our dedicated food coordinator. Furthermore, our fees are affordable, making quality early learning accessible to all families.
As a member of Remida, a creative reuse center, we emphasize sustainability and provide recyclable materials for children to explore their creativity. This integration of sustainability into our curriculum allows children to learn about and appreciate the importance of caring for our environment.
I am Sarah, the Centre Director at YMCA Ashdale Early Learning Centre. With over 12 years of experience in the Early Learning industry, including 10 years with the YMCA, I am passionate about education and supporting children's holistic development. I hold a Diploma in Children's Services and a Bachelor of Education. Together with our dedicated educators, we strive to create a close-knit family atmosphere where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to take risks and become active members of our community.
Our centre offers a beautiful natural environment for children to explore and learn from. The purpose-built design includes a large meeting space, the "Piazza," where children can come together to eat and participate in activities as a community.
It is incredibly rewarding to witness the incredible potential and capabilities of the young minds in our centre. I am excited to support your child as they navigate their world, acquire new skills, and create lasting memories.

Reviews
"YMCA is very good centre. Each and every staff is very loving and caring. Everyone taking good care of kids. My Family Three kids attend Ashdale Early Learning Centre. Thank you for your amazing work."
"I have sent all my children here since the dawn of time (shortly after it had opened). Never once have I had an issue nor felt unsure of the care provided to my children. The educators are understanding to the requirements of my children and are very loving towards them. They are patient and very professional in their approach towards my children. The only issue I have is that they are not open 24 hours. Would be helpful for date night!"
"My boy loves going to the daycare to visit his friends. He loves the educators and staff. The children are provided with lovely meals. they provide updates and information of what they are learning throughout the day. High quality care and educational opportunities are given."
"Everyone at Ashdale YMCA ELC has been fantastic with myself and my son with our sudden transition. He has a great time every day with the activities and is always excited to show us something he has learnt that day. I love the nutritional snacks and lunches they provide. I highly recommend this facility, they really look after the kids and care about the families. Thank you Ashdale YMCA ELC!"
"Personally was not satisfied with the service or quality of care towards the children."
