Transition to school Program (3-5):
At Young Academics, we understand the importance of the formative preschool years in preparing children for school, and our program will help them prepare emotionally, cognitively, and physically for this significant transition.
As your child prepares to start ‘big school’, our Transition to School Program recognises the importance of formative preschool years in terms of building their emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Beyond the core curriculum, we offer a range of enrichment activities, including music & movement, STEAM & Nutrition. These activities are designed to spark creativity, boost self-confidence, and enhance fine and gross motor skills.
Health & nutrition
Health & nutrition
A child’s first five years are crucial in developing healthy eating behaviours, exploring new foods and meeting nutritional requirements to help them grow and develop. Nutrition is also integral to improving children’s wellbeing, self-confidence, and ability to concentrate.
At Young Academics, we understand our early learning environments play a pivotal role in exposing children to a variety of nourishing foods and promoting healthy eating habits for life. Our holistic Nutrition Program allows children to take part in preparing and serving their meals and learn about the important connection between hygiene, physical activity, and healthy eating.
Our nutritious seasonal four-week rotating menu meets 50% of your child’s daily nutritional requirements by serving a healthy variety of foods such as vegetables, fruits, lean meat, fish, chicken, dairy products and more.

Thank you very much for being Charlie’s “third parents”. We can’t thank you enough for all the hard work you do and it’s so appreciated. Charlie is a happy little bub and that is in part due to the learning and fun he has at daycare. You’re all amazing!

I want to say a huge thank you to all of Robbie's educators. Every member of staff is always so caring and friendly and always goes out of their way to show a personal approach and Robbie loves them very much. Robbie has thrived so much since starting Young Academics and every week I see his confidence growing and his learning exceeding. The patience, compassion and thought that goes into every activity is amazing.
