Acacia Ridge YMCA Family Day Care commenced operations in March 1983. As Family Day Care participants are both children and adults we held two events to mark the establishment of YMCA Family Day Care here at Acacia Ridge 25 years ago.  Both events were very successful and enjoyed by all.

Our first event was a Playgroup Fair held on Thursday 13 March in the playground area at Acacia Ridge YMCA. The children really had fun at the special playgroup – getting their faces painted, seeing the farm animals, listening and dancing to African music, hitting the piñata and eating sausages and a YMCA cake. It was pleasing to see parents taking time off work to come along. Staff and carers had a good laugh at the “Then and Now” photo exhibition.
