Young Academics Early Learning Centre - Rouse Hill, Adelphi St

At Young Academics, we recognise the paramount importance of fostering strong partnerships between our dedicated educators and parents. Open and transparent communication is at the core of our philosophy, ensuring that parents are well-informed and actively involved in their child's journey with us. 

Through regular updates, newsletters, and our parent app, we provide valuable insights into your child's developmental milestones, daily activities, and any special achievements. We believe that collaboration is key to a child's success, and we welcome and encourage parents to share their insights, concerns, and aspirations for their child's growth. 

Our commitment to involving parents extends beyond formal communication channels; we organise engaging events and workshops, creating a supportive community where families can connect, share experiences, and actively participate in their child's early education. 

At Young Academics, we view parents as valued partners, working together to create a nurturing and enriching environment for every child entrusted to our care.

All our thoughts, values and actions lead to providing a safe environment where children’s rights, needs, interests and voices underpin our decision making. We provide a play-based curriculum that is carefully considered to reflect each child’s interests, needs and voice. 

Our curriculum is based on formative assessment. We recognise children as competent and capable learners who have their own rights and agency. We believe we are always learning. The UNCRC is a living document that underpins our policies, procedures and the planning cycle. 

We recognise that children learn best in a social environment; and are influenced by their Funds of Knowledge and their community circles (Bronfenbrenner) We believe children’s optimal learning and development occurs when the environment provides holistic, multi modal opportunities for play. 

This includes using natural, recycled & man-made resources in varied and creative ways. We highly value sensory play as a way to explore the world and our feelings. Our Educators use their professional judgement to provide learning experiences and teachable moments that foster developmental milestones and the Five Learning Outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework. 

We plan experiences that stimulate children’s natural curiosity and a positive mindset. We promote a positive learning disposition through collaboration and considered questioning. Opportunities for this include but are not limited to cooking, experiments, gardening, early numeracy and early literacy experiences. To reach our maximum potential we need a healthy body. 

Our menu, active play experiences and safe sleep practices help each child maintain their health and vitality. Meaningful relationships between all parties bring shared rewards and positive wellbeing. Educators ensure all interactions are fair, just and inclusive and will openly challenging biases. 

We actively promote strong and meaningful partnerships with families, recognising families as the first and most influential teachers in their child’s lives. Our Educators are passionate about their role and value the positive influence they have on our children and families. We are passionate about providing a culturally safe space for all our educators, children and families. 

We treasure our differences as opportunities to learn from one another; and opportunities to share joy together through recognised celebrations. Mutual respect is always at the forefront of our actions. Ancestral knowledge is highly valued in providing current and future learnings as well as ongoing connections to Country. 

Life-long learning and ongoing critical reflection helps our team be the best educators they can be. This is demonstrated through our informed and contemporary decision making. We value feedback so we can improve. Children’s safety and wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do. We commit to having employees who are informed and prioritise Child Safety.

Our Transition to School program at Young Academics is thoughtfully designed to prepare children for the exciting adventure of formal education.

Evolution Program (0-3):

We recognise the importance of the first three years of a child’s life and as such, ensure individuals approach their growth and development. The Young Academics Evolution Program is designed to support children from birth to three years to reach their developmental milestones and build the necessary skills to support their future learning. 

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.

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.

Parent 1:

YA Adelphi St is a modern, purpose built centre with an excellent early childhood education program that both of my children have thrived from. The staff are so friendly, supportive and nurturing and this reflects in the daily reports on the app. I have no doubt that my eldest will thrive in big school thanks to the amazing school readiness program that is being rolled out. 

Parent 2:

In last 5 years, This is the best child care centre I came across since my son started daycare. All the educators ( Each one of them) are very friendly & caring towards the children. Learning & Caring are two aspects of any Childcare centre and this centre has been excellent in both aspects.
