Early education is an important step in your child’s life. It could be preschool, kindergarten or an early learning centre – making the right choice is important for you and your family.
Prepare your child for a quality future through nourishment and strength in a safe, caring environment. The Y (formerly YMCA) supports skill, social, emotional and cognitive development through three core themes – nature, nurture and being active, which will allow your child to connect with themselves, their environment and their community.
Launch Offer: 30 hours free
To celebrate welcoming three additional centres into The Y family, we're offering 30 hours free early learning at the Beach Haven, Birkdale and Glenfield Early Learning centres for a limited time.
Your and your child will love our small, community-focussed care, with amazing caring staff.
