With spring sunshine and warmer weather arriving, our little learners are enjoying outdoor adventures again, wearing their hats and ready to play.

Being SunSmart is an important part of YCC’s childcare program, and we love helping children build healthy habits that will stay with them for life. From popping on a hat before heading outside to staying active outdoors, children are making the most of the beautiful Melbourne spring weather while staying protected.

For all childcare enquiries, please get in touch with our team via the contact details below👇. YCC offers childcare for children aged 6 months to 5 years, with the flexibility of casual and permanent bookings to suit your family's needs.

What an epic couple of days at YCC! Our holiday crew got creative making dumplings, bao buns and mango sorbet from scratch, hit the dance floor, and added plenty of colour with tie-dye fun. We never do things by halves at YCC, and we love creating unique experiences that encourage learning and trying something new. It’s always great to see the kids getting involved and giving everything a go!

We’ve loved being part of your holiday fun and have no doubt we’ll see many of you back again for the summer holiday break.
