YMCA Baldivis Early Learning Centre

Hidden gem of a daycare in Baldivis. The Y wasn’t in my list of daycares to visit/tour a year and a half ago when I was looking for places to enrol my son in. I found them on Google, rang and arranged for a tour and I’m glad I did that. I felt so welcomed the moment we stepped in and my son (who was very shy at that time), felt straight at home. He was playing with the toys in the room while I had a chat with one of the educators; Anya. I was given the brief and I felt very sure and comfortable with her. The space is immaculate; spotless and clean. What I loved most was the outdoor play area and a dedicated dining space. Soon my son began and we became familiar with the educators. They go all out to make sure he doesn’t feel sad. My son loves The Y and absolutely adores all the educators (especially all his previous ones). He is in kindy now but all the educators in the other rooms still acknowledge and gives him hugs. I love that they do more than play in kindy. He told me about a bugs life (the diff stages of life), and even have lunchbox days and make your own lunch. It’s so much fun. And I love reading the updates from the Y. Thank you everyone for providing a safe space for Michael and engaging him in the most fun and educational curriculum. I highly recommend this daycare !

5 Star review from me. We started our son in YMCA after emigrating. He was suffering extreme separation anxiety symptoms. It was the most stressful time seeing him not wanting to go to daycare but it was quickly turned around in a short few weeks. The girls at ymca ELC went above and beyond with making our son feel welcome from trying to figure out what his likes and dislikes were, communicating with us on how his day was. Also planned activities around his likes to make him feel welcome, giving him cuddles and attention when he needed. Miss Michelle has been amazing with him and I’ve noticed a big difference in behaviour, development and skills since attending. He thoroughly enjoys going to his daycare and gets excited to tell us about his day. They do amazing activities with him and I really enjoy seeing the photos uploaded on the app. Our son really does love all of the Educators. They have such an amazing outdoor space where they look at the wildlife through the fence on their outdoor play times. Perfect for our outdoorsy boy. Highly recommend.
