My son attended the 4-year-old kindergarten program along with the long day care service at YMCA Cranbourne North, and I honestly cannot thank them enough for the wonderful care and education they provide. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and supportive. Tora is truly an exceptional kinder teacher - one of the best you could ever ask for. The two educators who work alongside her, Sarah and Swathi, are also amazing. They are kind, patient, and caring, and my son felt completely comfortable asking them for anything he needed. He talks about them all the time at home and genuinely loves all the staff. The program really prepares children for school. There are so many engaging indoor activities that help build confidence, as well as wonderful experiences like the bush kinder program, park visits, and school visits to help children feel confident and ready for the next step. We absolutely loved our experience here and are so grateful to the entire team at YMCA Cranbourne North. I highly recommend this centre to any family looking for a caring and high-quality kindergarten and childcare service.

We cannot speak highly enough of YMCA Cranbourne North! From the very first day, the entire team has made our family feel so welcome and supported. As parents of a child who requires additional support, it can be daunting to find a place where your child is truly understood, included, and celebrated. But here, we have found just that—and more. The staff are incredibly compassionate, patient, and professional. They’ve gone above and beyond to ensure our child feels safe, happy, and engaged every single day. Their communication with us has been outstanding, and they always make time to share updates, listen to our concerns, and work with us as a team. It’s such a comfort knowing our child is in an environment where they are not only accepted but genuinely nurtured. We’ve seen such growth in confidence, independence, and social skills since starting here, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you to everyone at YMCA Cranbourne North for creating such a warm, inclusive space. You’ve truly made a lasting impact on our family.
