Part of encouraging children to enjoy learning is by making it fun. The team at Young Academics in Sydney believes in developing creative ways to teach children communication, critical thinking and maths. We believe that this not only helps children learn from a young age, but it also helps to foster a love of learning for the future. We know that many preschool children are stuck at home due to the current public health crisis. However, that shouldn’t stop parents from playing fun and educational preschool maths games with their children. Even when social distancing days are over, it’s healthy to incorporate these preschool maths games at home. Your children will look forward to learning and will become masters at maths!

When the time arrives for you to choose a child care option for your little one, every factor must be considered. It’s one of the most important decisions you can make for your child in their early life as it can impact the skills, life lessons and education that they receive. In Australia, we have two main options for child care: family day care and long day care centres. Each has its advantages and suitability, it’s up to you to determine which option fits better for your little one and your family.

When teaching your child life skills, self-regulation doesn’t often come to mind. The focus is usually on gaining independence, finding compassion and learning problem-solving and motor skills.  However, even though self-regulation sounds complex, it can be considered one of the most important techniques for a child to learn, especially in their early childhood. Young Academics has layered techniques and activities into each developmental program to ensure that your child receives a holistic education.

Giving your child a head start in life is one of the most beneficial things you can do. Early learning centres do a fantastic job of ensuring that children get an education that focuses on their cognitive, emotional and social needs in life. It is here that children develop skills and interests that they will use throughout their lives.

Settling your child into daycare can be emotional for both child and parent/guardian. The task of letting go of your child for the first time is difficult enough without having to worry about their comfort and happiness. Though some children settle with ease, others benefit from a few key tips that can make a huge difference in how they cope with the transition.

Educators are often so great at their job because they genuinely love it. They feel the ultimate reward when they form connections with a child which, in turn, contributes to their development.

In light of the challenging times we are currently facing in the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, parents/guardians are faced with the important decision to continue to send their children to childcare, or to homeschool. No matter what the decision is, it is essential that children remain intellectually stimulated, interested, occupied and learn at least one new thing every day where possible.

At Young Academics Early Learning Centre, each child’s personal hygiene is of the utmost importance.
From washing and sanitizing hands before and after meals, and regularly throughout the day, to keeping good hygiene throughout all seasons of the year, we place high importance on this aspect throughout the course of the day.
Teaching children good hygiene from a very young age is important as it gets them used to developing good habits that they can sustain as they grow older.

The health and safety of our Educators and Families remain at the top of our minds during these challenging times.
