Young Academics Early Learning Centre North Kellyville, Indwarra Ave

I have worked across many centres as a casual educator, and North Kellyville Young Academics truly stands out. Ms Renee’s leadership as Centre Director is particularly impressive. She doesn’t stay confined to the office — instead, she actively moves between rooms, closely observes the children, and communicates openly with educators. The centre consistently maintains excellent educator-to-child. ratios, creating a safe, nurturing, and well-organised environment. North Kellyville offers high-quality education and genuine care for children, making it a centre that parents can feel confident in choosing.

I've had serious concerns with this childcare centre that I feel are important to share. The facility often appears messy, and cleanliness does not seem to be a priority, which is disappointing for a childcare environment. Since the first week, my child has been frequently sick and regularly returns home in dirty clothes, as bibs aren’t consistently used during meals despite assurances that they would be provided. Additionally, there are noticeable issues with management, organization, and staffing. The center often seems understaffed, and I’ve observed situations where educators struggled to tend to all the children, leading to multiple children crying without adequate attention. On several occasions, I noticed my child’s nose running without being wiped, and during orientation, I witnessed two children fall and hit their heads, with no immediate comforting until a lead stepped in. Given these issues, I felt it was unsafe to continue care here, and we ultimately decided to withdraw. I hope this feedback can prompt improvements for the safety and well-being of the children in the future. ​
