YMCA ELC Riverbanks

Your child's early years matter. At YMCA ELC Riverbanks, we create a place where children feel safe, curious, and truly known by the people who care for them. Our qualified educators work in small, consistent groups so they can build genuine relationships with every child and family.

Our nature play focused program encourages children to explore, take safe risks, and learn through hands-on experiences outdoors. We follow each child's interests, fostering creativity, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.

Located right at Riverbanks College B-12 in Angle Vale, your child grows up on a real school campus. They know the buildings, the grounds, and the community around them. When the time comes to start primary school, there is no big change, just a natural next step. This is something no standalone centre can offer.

As a YMCA centre, we are part of a not-for-profit community organisation where every dollar goes back into your child's experience. Fresh meals are prepared daily by our in-house chef, and nappies and wipes are included at no extra cost.

We hold Meeting ratings across all seven National Quality Standard areas, the benchmark for quality education and care in Australia. We are also ACF Child Safe accredited, reflecting our deep commitment to keeping children safe. If your child does not settle in their first three days, our 3 Day Guarantee means you pay nothing.
