YMCA Early Learning Centre (6wks -5yrs): Being, Belonging, Becoming 

Canberra > Services > Early Childhood > YMCA Early Learning Centre (6wks -5yrs): Being, Belonging, Becoming
 
All YMCA Early Learning Centres are dedicated to early learning and care for children aged 6 weeks to school age.  They operate between 8:00am and 6:00pm Monday through Friday (closed on Public Holidays) and are Licensed with the  Office for Children, Youth and Family Support   
 
Our ambition for our Early Learning Centres is to create nurturing environments that feel safe, homely and caring, where children can learn through play. Children's work will be displayed thoughtfully and learning spaces will be uncluttered and inviting.  Overall we will be working to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and has a sense of ownership and belonging.  The Early Learning Years Framework will be implemented in all YMCA Early Learning Centres.
