Yelim Venson

My career in Early Childhood Education and Care began in 2009. I hold a Bachelor of arts majoring in Early Childhood Studies.

One of the things I am also most delighted to share is the connection the team has with the families of the service. It is so important to us that every person who walks in our door feels a connection to the centre and a sense of belonging to the space.

My personal philosophy is based on engaging children through their interests, offering a play-based curriculum that is exciting and empowering to children and creating citizens of our community who have a lifelong love of learning and ongoing quest for knowledge. I truly believe that children learn best when they are supported with trusting relationships with responsive and meaningful interactions.

“Enrolling Noah in at Sandcastles was the best decision we could have made. The educators, curriculum and facilities are top notch!”

• Yolanda

“Teachers are caring, calm and very passionate about what they do. My child had a very good time at the centre.”

• Dan

“We are extremely happy with the care, education sessions and effort from the wonderful staff given in Sandcastles. My son is a shy and not out-going kid before he went to childcare. We have tried few childcares around Chatswood but the outcome and process were not pleasant. We were lucky to get a place in Sandcastles Chatswood 2, surprisingly after a while he loves it in Sandcastles. Sandcastles Chatswood 2 has a very welcoming culture and all the care takers are very professional and helpful. He has got some good friends and he shared to us what he has learnt in the centre. He really looks forward to meeting his friends everyday. Great job to Yelim and teams.”

• Kenneth

“Our daughter has very much enjoyed her time at Sandcastles Chatswood 2. Each morning she always looks forward to all the fun ahead of her, saying her farewell to us without much hesitation. My husband and I have been incredibly impressed with the nurturing and caring approach to teaching and looking after our little one. We cannot thank you and the rest of the crew enough for making Hazel feel loved, safe and comfortable.”

• Jen

“The staff in Sandcastles are truly devoted and they show their greatest care to all children in the centre. The classroom is always clean and tidy. We are leaving the centre because of family reunion and to spend time with grandparents.”

• Yuki

“The caring staff and how well you all welcomed my son into your centre. He really enjoyed his time while at Sandcastles. It provided hot cooked food, lots of play areas and the staff always set up new activities to explore everyday.”

• Katie

“We couldn’t be happier with Sandcastles 2. The staff are genuinely wonderful and attentive. Oliver absolutely loves his teachers and friends. The teachers cater to each child and promote creativity, for example Oliver asked about birds and the next day the staff had Oliver and other kids who were interested make their own bird feeder from recycled bottles. I would highly recommend Sandcastles 2 to anyone who wants a warm, fun and supportive environment for their little ones.”

• Lesley

“The moment I stepped into this centre, I knew my son would enjoy his time here. The starfish room is always clean and cozy with various toys and playing activities that even attract me. What’s more impressive is the friendly staff and educators who all know my son and greet us every morning. I’m especially thankful to Ivy, Emily, Laura and Prabha who are always so patient and caring. They pat my son when he’s awake halfway from his nap just to make him rest more. I can feel their love to all the kids in starfish room. Our family is new to Sydney. We are truly indebted to Sandcastles who offered us such great help during our most difficult times!”

• Hedy

“Great care and love shown to our little boy. We love SC2 and all the carers who took care of our little boy so well. He loved it and them too. We moved too far away and therefore had to leave.”

• Jamilah

“It is a special and valuable experience for our daughter to join Sandcastles Chatswood 2 in the past year. She grows and learns a lot from the activities that the centre provided. It helps her to build up friendship with others and develop self-confidence which we are looking forward to.”

• Stella

“An amazing place, with amazing vibe and amazing people! If you are looking for a place where your little one is nurtured, treated will love and cared by all the staff, this is the place. The teachers, carers, cook, all look after all the details and spoil the children with beautiful and exotic food. Yelim, their supervisor is on top of everything, she knows every single detail of the business and of any child, and she is so wonderful wth everybody. My daughter started there on her last year of preschool, she made wonderful friends and the transition to school was very smooth, thank you all! I could not recommend this place more!”

• Grace

“Its been just over a year since my son started going to this daycare and he absolutely loves the place and people, which makes me give more than 5 stars ( if I could ) !! Each and every staff member smile and greet us every time they see us which portrays a friendly environment and heaps of activities keep my lil one busy. We moved to a different place( bit far away ) now but still insist in sending our child here. I would highly recommend this to a friend. Doing great job, the team at Sandcastles Chatswood 2 and appreciate your work!”

“Nurturing and well-organized staff. Excellent care.”

“The centre is located just a 2 min walk from the station. The area is big and has enough open area for the kids’ outdoor play. My son loved the sandpit area the most. The Centre Manager and Educators are so friendly, supportive and caring. One can be sure that their kids are in safe hands with the best people and facilities. Great place for your child.”

• Altamash

“Centre management is very informative and ready to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. Yelim has made us feel welcome welcome welcome from the first time we visited, which made my transition back to work calmer than I expected. The Starfish staff were all warm and caring; and my son settled quickly with the help of lead educators – Ivy & Emily. My son has grown so much since starting; his confidence as he began walking and climbing; his language skills; his love of music. We are definitely sad to be leaving. His new centre has a high bar to meet when it comes to his care.”

• Nicole

“My daughter enjoyed the life in your childcare centre so much. Music class, physio activity class, and seasonal events were also great. Staffs speaking Japanese are very helpful for us. Kindy Hub app is very useful. We always look forward to photos and learning reports. Thank you so much.”
