Young Achievers Early Learning Centre - Liverpool, New South Wales

If I could give this daycare/preschool 10 stars, I absolutely would! I stumbled upon this gem by pure luck after struggling to find a place that felt right. From the moment I went in for a tour and interview with Ms. Kathy, I immediately felt a sense of warmth and care that I had been searching for.

Ms. Kathy is honestly one of the kindest, most genuine souls I have ever met. Her love and dedication to each and every student are evident in everything she does. It’s clear that she has created an environment where educators share this same heartfelt passion for nurturing and guiding children.

Our child has blossomed in ways I couldn't have imagined since joining Young Achievers a year ago, and we are so incredibly grateful to Ms. Kathy and her wonderful team for treating our little one like their own. The personal care and attention they give each child are beyond anything we've experienced elsewhere.

The main reason we chose Young Achievers for our daughter was the school readiness program and the structured daily routines they offer to all the preschoolers. This was something we felt was missing from other daycares, and it’s made such a difference in our daughter's development and confidence.

I honestly wish we had found this place sooner, but we are so thankful that she has had this amazing experience before starting kindergarten next year. It’s hard to believe this is our last month, and I’m filled with gratitude for the lasting impact this school has had on our child’s growth. Thank you, Ms. Kathy, and the entire team for everything you do. You are truly making a difference, and we will forever be grateful!

If only words could do my feelings about YA ELC justice. I met Ms Kathy after moving to the Liverpool area over 3 years ago during Covid and after having nightmare experiences at other centres. I was nervous about trusting childcare centres from what I had been through. But, I knew instantly after meeting Kathy and the YA team that I was putting my child in good hands. Fast forward three years and now my son who started there at 2 is going into Kindergarten 2025, and I am overjoyed that another will be commencing there. Kathy and the YA team show nothing but excellence both in their duty of care and in their teaching and learning environment. I don't say this lightly because I myself am an educator and can see the growth in my son in all aspects of who he is as a person. It takes a village, and we are truly grateful that YA have become a part of ours. I will forever be grateful and just know that when my children graduate from the centre, that they will continue to be a part of our lives because they have truly supported us through the tough times of working as parents with a young family and love my children as though they are their own. Thank you Ms Kathy and team, notably Ms Rana, Ms Zeinab, Ms Gulay and so many more.

My daughter has been going here for 3 years now. She's made friends and have been a beautiful experience for her.

The Teachers are caring and most importantly Kathy is a rare diamond.
Kathy really loves kids and loves children. My daughter can be challenging at times and she absolutely loves Kathy! Kathy has help my daughter learn and regulate her behaviour.
My daughter strives here at Young Achievers. I couldn't be more happy.

Food were always healthy choices with sometimes treats during important days (birthdays) that's appropriate and always asked parents before giving children.

My child loves it here! She feels safe and is able to connect and feel belonging. Teachers and Kathy are so friendly and so helpful!

Thank you Ms Zena for cooking great food for the kids.

Thank you Kathy, Miss Naome, and YA Team! for making the children open to different cultures and working so hard to make sure children's are happy, full of love and practising maintaining boundaries and full of spirit.

Let me first off by saying This is my favourite daycare in the whole world. My twins have been enrolled into 5 different Learning Centre's, both had attachment issues, both were shy, clingy, wingy, very reserved and often anxious and withdrawn. I took it as a sign that no one was able to care enough to connect to my kids on their level as this behaviour would only happen at Daycares.
There were many cases in the past where I would have to pick my children up after 2 hours because the Centre's would say they were "Too Much" and needed "Help". I sought professional help in which I was assured their behaviour was selective to the environment they were in. In search for a new daycare… I was reading some reviews on google about Young Achievers Early Learning Centre that caught my eye. I decided to enrol and on orientation day I felt such warm welcome with Kathy and all the experiences and mature Staff members! I could tell from orientation that Kathy and the staff members would really care for my children and help shift their traumatised experience from previous childcare centres into more positive experiences with a bit of tender love and care.
My girls have only attended this amazing Family daycare for 8 months and they are SO INDEPENDENT, OUT-spoken, confident and social! They talk so much, they know so many things, they are more happy when they know they have to socialise with other kids. Throughout the week when I go to pick up the Twins I can always smell delicious fresh food, I always see fresh and ripe fruit being served to the kids, I love seeing a Centre that treats kids with cake and cookies on special occasions! I love seeing all the kids feeling like they belong with every staff member catering to each one's different needs! I love how all the educators are so professionally trained, they're empathetic and they are not babysitting my kids but rather befriending them and teaching them all about the world and everything!
I honestly feel like they aren't staff members, but "Mama's" looking after all our children. I love how each kid has a unique connection to the staff members and Kathy. I can see the dynamic of Family very present in this centre. This centre is so clean and organised, it's very family orientated and it's very professional yet friendly at the same time. I'm so grateful and appreciative for everything this Centre has offered my twins. I pray this Centre continues to be blessed and flourish in the future! This centre is no doubt something I vouch to everyone I come across! it's the BEST LEARNING CENTRE!

Mrs. Kathy (the Center Director) is fabulous and all the staff at Young Achievers are amazing and caring. My daughter was enrolled for a few months prior to joining kindergarten and she learnt many important things which are going to help her in her learning career. My daughter made everlasting memories at Young Achievers which will remain valuable to her throughout her life. I wish Mrs. Kathy and all the staff the best in future!

Ms.Kathy and the team in YA are fantastic in terms of education, well-being and child development. My daughter started in YA when she was two, she was shy and upset in the first week but now she has became a very happy and active kid, she talks more and eager to go to see her mates and YA educators every day.
Ms. Kathy is a very understanding and wholehearted director. The educators are kind and caring, they keep you updated with daily observation posts.
We wish you all the very best for the future! Highly recommend!

Where do I start honestly, young achievers has been our second home. Now having my 3rd child at young achievers, he absalutely loves it there. Most entrusted centre I could recommend. Kathy and the educators go above and beyond for my son and other children there. My son has come along way from not knowing how to write or recognise letters to now writing his name on his own. With great support from all the educators and Kathy, my son has become confidiant. Which enabled him to progress further within literacy and so on. All I can say from the bottom of my heart thank you young achievers for all your hard work and support! We love use dearly❤️

HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Dear Ms Kathy and all of the Young Achievers educators,
I wanted to take some time to express my gratitude to you all for wonderful experiences, my son and now my daughter have had while at YAELC and in your care by engaging in the amazing activities and programs you offer through your education and development plans.
I cannot rate you highly enough (5 stars does not feel adequate!), for helping my children develop into kind, confident, happy, healthy little humans. They have truly been in the best and most capable hands willing educate and nurture them through exciting, fun-filled learning and development programs that extend beyond early literacy and numeracy skills to include social, emotional, cultural, artistic, and physical goals which, in my view places Young Achievers Early Learning Centre in 1st place among childcare centres anywhere.
You have always encouraged parent participation, through educational experiences or through celebrating days of significance or celebrating different cultures.
Prior to the Covid-19 era parents were very much welcomed into the centre to physically join in these activities with their children. Since Covid-19 however, you have not dropped a beat, you have adapted new ways to enable these same experiences to be had via Zoom participation.
My son started at YAELC when he was 2 years old and stayed with you for 4 years. He left this year to start his next chapter in kindergarten which he loves tremendously, he has settled in very quickly with his new friends and teachers and Ms Kathy, I wholeheartedly believe you are a very big part in helping this process all come together. At my sons' request you came to his kindergarten orientation, which helped to settle his nerves immensely and every day he wants to come and see you to tell you about his day.
I believe you have a very special gift in being able to form bonds with the children in your care and their families that will be life-long. Your commitment, love, devotion, and passion for childcare shines through you and your educators that ensures you create a positive, calming, engaging, and loving environment which allows the children to thrive whilst in your care and provides them with the tools required to help them through life.
Ms Kathy, we love and respect you and are blessed by all the support you have given us since we have met. You are a true inspiration! I wish I had more children, so I could keep all the wonderful experiences going.
Sending love from our family to yours.
