    About the centre

    We offer early learning programs for children between six weeks to five years old. We support, nurture and encourage your child’s development through early education and evidence-informed practice that emphasises discovery and adventure.

    Macarthur Square YMCA Early Learning Centre is co-located with Kingswim Macarthur Square in  the Macarthur Square Shopping Centre in Campbelltown, New South Wales. Our convenient co-location allows us to create a hub for all the skills and learning your child will need to get a great start to life.

    We are located directly opposite Macarthur Square Railway Station and conveniently close to grocery shops and a post office. We also have gated reserved car parks directly outside our centre for use by our families.

    "Hi, I’m Simone and I am the Centre Manager at Macarthur Square.

    I began my career in Early Childhood in 2005 as a Trainee and have always worked within the Children’s Services sector. I have experience in a range of different roles including as an Educator, Service Coordinator and an Area Manager. Working in Early Childhood I feel that I have the ability to contribute and if I am able to have a positive impact on tomorrow’s leaders – what a wonderful place to be.

    I have always been passionate about working with children and strongly believe that all children deserve to have the best start in life. Our team of trained and dedicated educators would love the opportunity to offer a safe and supportive environment for you and your child." – Simone Clinch, Centre Manager
