Caring for little minds, from day one.

We’re so glad you’re here!

At Young Smarties, we want to give your child the best start in a place that feels like a second home. At our inclusive family-run centre, we create a fun, enriching, and supportive environment where little minds can dream big, explore freely, and grow with confidence. Located in Rivervale, we're here to lay the foundations for a lifetime of learning and success — and make sure they enjoy every step of the journey.

Little things that make a big difference.

Only 35 places, offering personalised, high-quality care.

Low staff turnover, meaning familiar faces and strong relationships.

Programs built around EYLF and NQF, ensuring excellence in early learning.

A warm, welcoming environment in Rivervale where every child is valued.

Igniting curious minds.

We know that every child is wonderfully unique, bursting with potential. That’s why we focus on what makes them shine — their interests, strengths, and curious questions. By watching, listening, and guiding, we give them the chance to discover, experiment, solve problems, and learn more about themselves and the world around them.

We never sit still.

We’re always looking for ways to do better — we never sit still! Our Educators and management team are constantly reflecting, tweaking, and improving what we do, because your child deserves nothing less than amazing. Through regular check-ins and thoughtful planning, we make sure every day is filled with new opportunities to grow, discover, and learn.

The team have been great with my son, who started at 11 months. He loves attending and playing with the other babies and has developed a lovely bond with the educators. He comes home and surprises us with the new things he learns during his time there! The staff know each child very well, are communicative, and happy to answer any questions.
