YMCA Childcare Programs Darwin

Ear​​ly Learning Centres

We provide opportunities for children aged 6 weeks to 5 years, to participate in a wonderfully unique environment, offering a variety of indoor and outdoor activities on a daily basis. We provide nutritious meals throughout the day, promoting the health and wellbeing of all children in our care.

Outside Hours School Care at Driver Primary School

We offer high quality services for children and families who require care out of school hours, both before and after school, and throughout the holidays, located on the schools’ grounds. We work in close partnerships with families to ensure that the individual needs of our children are met. Our programs are guided by the Framework for School Age Care in Australia – My Time Our Place; and our practices are all guided by the National Quality Standard for School Age Care. We embrace the National Quality framework, and ensure that this is reflected throughout our Centres, as we strive to continually offer high quality care and education. Our programs reflect the principles, practices and learning where children’s interests and strengths are used to guide the curriculum, and promote further learning. Helpful Resources:
