A not-for-profit early learning service where children are safe, respected, included and empowered — and where every dollar goes back into children, families and communities.
Our revenue is reinvested into programs that strengthen services, communities and support young people.
Through play-based learning and meaningful experiences, we help children build confidence, develop new skills and thrive in a safe, respectful environment — creating spaces where children are safe, respected, included and empowered.
Our team provides both incidental and planned teaching experiences, led by trained early childhood teachers, which foster new skills, social connections, a strengthened sense of belonging and wellbeing.
The team is led by an Early Childhood Teacher and an Educational Leader, both holding bachelor's degrees in early childhood education. Our qualified educators work together to provide a safe, inclusive environment that exceeds minimum standards.
We work in partnership with families, supporting your goals for your children and helping them develop a lifelong love of learning, confidence, resilience and strong values.
Collaboration between families, educators and the broader community ensures children receive consistent support across all areas of development.
We see each child as an individual with their own strengths and interests. Our programs are thoughtfully planned to support skill development across all key developmental domains — social, emotional, physical and language — ensuring a holistic approach to each child's growth and learning.
At The Y NSW, nothing is more important than the safety and wellbeing of children.
We are committed to creating child-safe environments where every child feels safe, respected, valued and supported. Our approach is guided by strong safeguarding practices, clear policies, and a culture of accountability that prioritises the best interests of children at all times.
We expect all staff, volunteers, contractors and partners to uphold our commitment to child safety and to contribute to environments that protect children from harm.
Together, we work to ensure that every child who engages with The Y NSW has a positive, inclusive and safe experience.
