I would like to share my bad experience with Young Academics Narellan branch, My daughter was attending 2 days/wk, and just after 1 week she started to get scared of heights and it seems like she slipped off while changing nappy on the mat as she stayed after that incident for about 1 month scared of heights till she returned to normal, And in the last 2 weeks before termination, on the first Friday one earring was lost, and the Friday after( her last day), both earrings were taken, and she has a scratch on her ear!!! I emailed them to know how that happened but they kept replying that they are searching for them, i know they were stolen but i want to know how? And please check and do more investigations for the casual teachers before accepting them, as these people are dealing with our kids but they are not trusted, and I don’t feel safe for kids in this place.

My son was attending Young Academics Narellan after I had removed him from their smeaton grange centre. I highly recommend for you to avoid using Young Academics completely!!. Don’t be fooled by the smiles, online posts or their policies and procedures. . Over time I have come to realise the children are not being supervised accordingly resulting in my son experiencing multiple injuries from other children attacking him. With this, Incidents reports have been deleted and altered on many occasions, OWNA posts have been deleted without explanation and there are no answers as to why this is all happening. Educators have advised me that they just can’t supervise all children as there are too many children in the centre. This is alarming when they have children with challenging behaviour! After raising concerns with higher management, dropping my son off became very difficult with staff ignoring me, not greeting us and my son screaming, begging me to take him to a new school. As a single mother, working full time, I found this very traumatising. There are a lot more incidents I could mention to show how the children are being neglected and un-supervised. But to make it simple, my son has left young academics with a permanent scar to his face and many hospital visits for seizures due to head injuries. To all parents, PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN! Read more
