Yelim Venson

Hi, my name is Yelim Venson and I am the Director of Sandcastles Chatswood 2.

I have been part of the service here at Sandcastles Chatswood 2 since the first day of service in April 2014. I am very proud of our service and have a deep love and passion for every aspect of what happens here each day.

I was fortunate enough to find my career passion early on and completed my University degree at Macquarie University. Since completing my Bachelor of arts majoring in Early Childhood Studies, I now have over 9-year experience working in early childhood services. I was a face to face classroom teacher for 5 years and have now been a Director for over 4 years. It is still my greatest pleasure to get back into the classroom and immerse myself in the experiences with the children.

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.

I am very pleased to let you know that our team here at Sandcastles Chatswood 2 have mostly been here since we opened. We are a committed team with family-oriented culture who share our philosophy for education and passion for learning.

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.

We look forward to welcoming you to our centre so please feel free to contact us for more information.

Reviews and Testimonials

“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!”

“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

“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!”

“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.

“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.”
