About Young Academics Early Learning Centre - Merrylands

Conveniently located in a family-friendly residential area close to local primary schools, our Merrylands Early Learning Centre offers an inspiring, well-resourced learning environment for children aged six weeks to five years old.

Our Merrylands childcare centre is one of our many childcare centres in Western Sydney including Mays Hill childcare centre, Guildford childcare and our Westmead childcare facility. 

The seamless indoor/outdoor learning environments have been designed to stimulate children’s cognitive development, creativity and coordination skills.

Guided by a passionate team of educators, children can choose from engaging indoor learning stations, quiet zones for rest and reflection, and a dynamic outdoor learning environment, including a designated outside area for infants (0-2 years).

Children are encouraged to explore and enjoy nature in our outdoor learning environment, which includes a wide range of equipment and resources to inspire imaginative play, teamwork and gross motor skill development. Highlights include a large sandpit, cubby house, bike track, and worm farm to build their understanding of nature and sustainability.

Children up to age three participate in the tailored Evolution Program, while those between three and five join the Transition to School Program.

The on-site cook prepares five healthy meals and snacks every day for the children to enjoy, and all nappies and wipes are included. Cot linen provided (excludes stretcher bed linen).

A car park is conveniently located outside the entrance to the centre for safe and secure drop-off and pick-up.

Get To Know Us

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

Our Educators support young children during this rapid period of growth and change through nurturing and responsive relationships. Our educators ensure that children’s individual needs for sleeping, eating, active and quiet play are met on time, every day.

Health and Nutrition

Health and Nutrition

At Young Academics, we believe the first five years of a child’s life are critical for establishing healthy eating habits, exploring new foods, and meeting essential nutritional needs to support growth and development. Good nutrition not only enhances physical health but also boosts a child’s well-being, self-confidence, and focus.

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

At Young Academics, our Transition to School Program is a comprehensive, carefully designed pathway that prepares children for the exciting journey into formal education. We understand that this is a major milestone, and our program focuses on equipping children with the academic, social, and emotional skills they need for a smooth transition.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

At Young Academics, we believe that strong partnerships between families and educators are fundamental to a child’s early learning journey. We prioritise open, consistent, and transparent communication with parents to ensure that every child’s individual needs, interests, and development are well supported.

I highly recommend Young Academics Merrylands for your kids ! We arrived two years ago from a different country and they welcomed my son like it was a second family. Every step we’ve been through the team was always here to help us. So a big THANK YOU to all the lovely educators and Kalpana the manager of the center !

Response from the owner 05 May 2026

Thank you, Alexia, for such a heartfelt recommendation. We’re so pleased to hear your family felt welcomed and supported from the moment you arrived. Your kind words about our educators and Kalpana mean a great deal, and we’re honoured to have been part of your son’s journey over the past two years. We truly appreciate your trust and support.
