We are very grateful for the care and support provided by YMCA Tarneit. The educators are kind, patient, and truly attentive to the children’s needs. My daughter feels safe, happy, and well cared for, which gives me great peace of mind as a parent. The kindergarten program is excellent. My daughter started here in the 3-year-old kinder and is now in the 4-year-old kinder. It has been wonderful to see her confidence, learning, and social skills grow over time. We are so happy with the dedicated and supportive educators who make learning fun and meaningful for the children. Thank you for creating such a nurturing and welcoming environment for our children.

This kindergarten has made such a positive impact on our child’s development. Our child has joined YMCA around 2.5 years ago. We’ve seen huge growth in social skills, communication and curiosity about learning. We are so grateful for the amazing educators at this kindergarten. The care, patience and genuine love they show the children every single day is beautiful to see. The educators create such a safe and nurturing environment where children feel supported and encouraged to try new things.

Under the previous management (Chelsea), this childcare was good and well-run. Since the management change, the quality has declined significantly. My child was crying during drop-off and an educator simply watched without making much effort to comfort them. Children are not changed if their clothes get dirty. Some educators are rude when speaking to parents and communicate rules in an impolite, lecturing way. There also seems to be bias in how some parents are treated. There is often no management presence at the front desk, fewer staff in the mornings and evenings, and it’s hard to get updates about your child. Overall, the service is poor and I do not recommend this center.
