YWCA Canberra offers high-quality before and after school care, as well as school holiday programs for school-age children. We collaborate closely with families, schools, and the community to ensure the best outcomes for children.
Our primary goal is to deliver exceptional education and care through inclusive, holistic, and stimulating programs, practices, and pedagogies. We have extensive experience across 13 ACT Government and Catholic school age care programs, focusing on children’s sense of identity, connectedness, self-confidence, and well-being. Our inclusive approach allows educators to support and enhance the education of children of all ages, maintaining a proactive and passionate commitment to their development.
YWCA Canberra is proud to have a team of dedicated and passionate educators committed to providing the best possible environments and experiences for children at all stages of development. Our Program Managers and Educators engage in a wide range of professional development and training to continually enhance their skills and knowledge.
