YMCA East Cannington Early Learning Centre overview
Our East Cannington ELC is an expansive centre located in a quiet suburban area. Our families tell us our sense of community and homely atmosphere makes our centre a home away from home for our children.
Our centre features ample room for our children to play, including two yards, playgrounds, bike track, cubby house, sand pit, mud kitchen and an on-site veggie patch! We are located in close proximity to natural bushland, meaning our children benefit from regular excursions; experiencing bushwalking and nature exploration amongst wildflowers and wetlands.
As well as early learning, the East Cannington runs a pre-kindy program with a qualified Early Childhood teacher. Our centre is also a member of Remida; a creative reuse centre that supplies recyclable materials to services for children to be creative with and learn about sustainability.
We offer 59 places for children from birth to 5 years, we only serve nutritious home-style food and we pride ourselves on offering extremely affordable fees.

Sam is very helpful, easing our Son's anxiety each time he comes by cuddling him. Place is not the newest, but it's alright as it meets its purpose. Clean, huge outdoor shades, only little sand pit so Son don't go home very messy. Thank you all for the care. All the best! Read more

Our daughter has been attending YMCA East Cannington for almost 4 years now, since she was 2years. She began in the toddlers room, she was fully supported in many ways, her picky food habits, language delay, and emotional needs. We will be forever grateful to the staff who helped her settle and thrive into her journey at the Y. Kindy room has also been a great experience in getting her ready for full time school. She has made so many friends, learnt essential skills like toileting, taking turns, sharing and developing fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Overall Staff at East Cannington are experienced, professional and very caring. The East Cannington Y director Bev is amazing, she has and will go above and beyond for the children by improving daily tasks and introducing new programs to keep them engaged. The layout of the East Cannington Y is very homely, great backyard to discover nature and a front yard to develop gross motor skills, as well as a cubby house, vege patch to keep all the kids happy! Currently our daughter looks forward to the school holidays so she can go see her friends and spend time with the staff. Soon, We will be sad to stop going when she no longer can and will always be grateful and thankful she had an amazing start to her early childhood years. Read more
