We had a wonderful time training the educators at Mernda YMCA Early Learning Centre in the HLTAID012 Provide First Aid in an Education and Care Setting and CPR courses. Their enthusiasm for learning and commitment to child safety were outstanding. It’s a caring and compliant team we’re proud to support year after year.

It's been 3 years with Mernda YMCA and my daughter loves coming here. She's learned a lot academically and socially. She has gained friends and loves the educators. I have peace of mind knowing that she is in a safe environment especially under Natalia's management. Highly recommend this centre.

Natalia and her team consistently provide an exceptional level of care and professionalism and we couldn’t be happier with the care and love our daughter receives here. The environment they have created is warm, engaging, and supportive for both children and families. Today's Father’s Day celebration (photo attached) was a wonderful example of their dedication, which was thoughtfully planned, well executed, and deeply appreciated by all parents. We are very impressed with the high standards maintained and grateful for the effort the team puts in every single day. Highly recommend!
