Here's what our families have to say
I had a great experience at this Early Learning Centre OAC Alexandria! The educators are all so warm, friendly, and caring towards the children, making everyone feel welcome, safe, and comfortable. The Campus Director ‘Chioma Onyedika’ is also super kind, dedicated, approachable and supportive. The centre itself is clean, creative, and thoughtfully set up for children to learn and have fun. I highly recommend this lovely place for children！
This centre is absolutely amazing. My daughter in the start was struggling to settle but with the help of all the educators my daughter quickly settled down. She has become more independent and enjoys her time at OAC and making new friends. Special thanks to saba, muzuki, salma and albi. My daughter absolutely adores them especially saba.
Croydon Park child care has been amazing from start to finish. Mary (the Director) and Dimi (the Assistant Director) truly understood my child’s needs and went above and beyond to support her development. I would give this centre a five-star rating—it's absolutely incredible!
The way they engage with the children is heartwarming and professional. Every staff member shows genuine care. A special thank you to Aleks and Rim in the Nursery Room for helping shape my daughter’s growth, from her gross motor skills to her overall development.
The transition to the Toddlers Room was so smooth—thank you Miss Rouba and Stuart for making her feel so comfortable and confident.
Even the cook deserves special praise! When you walk in, it feels like you're in Italy—the food smells delicious and is prepared with love.
The incursions are amazing too! My daughter especially looks forward to her weekly park visits and loves the swings. It’s become one of the main reasons she’s so excited to go to school.
Finally, thank you Miss Ashnita for taking the time during our tour, understanding my daughter’s needs, and ticking every box I had on my checklist.
Thank you again to the whole team at Croydon Park OAC—your care and dedication mean so much to our family!
Great center
Positive work dynamics! Go OAC Torquay!
Only About Children Cammeray is great! When returning from maternity leave they made it super easy to enrol my little one quickly without fuss. I didn’t have to wait for a place, which took a lot of stress out of getting the return to work schedule sorted in time to head back to the office. They sent me photos and called ever couple of hours during the day on my little one’s first day. Very impressed with their organisation.
The educators are fantastic and have a clear affection for the children. I love all the activities they don’t and get involved within. I can also always see what my son is up to on Storypark
Our children have loved attending Geebung campus. The teachers are lovely and super fun. They have a very welcoming attitude.
This is an awesome place, all the staff are welcoming and supportive, and all the children are loved and also engaging in activities. 10000stars recommend!
Our 3 year old has been with OAC for a year now, and we love the educator team and their approach. While the class sizes are a little larger than we like, the centre as a whole is relatively small, so it feels like a big home for the kids with ability to connect the younger and older classes. The team has gone above and beyond to support our son with his development, including around toileting, and he's thrived with them.
We have been attending this centre for a little over 3 years ( recommend by family members ) and have had so many great experiences from front reception team, to teachers and making friends through other parents from our child’s same class.
Our daughter always comes home happy and well fed. The chef is amazing and caters well to allergies. Learning is hands on and the room activities are coinages on a regular basis keeping kids engaged. The teachers are invested into making learning and activities fun. Highly recommended!
They provide great care to my daughter. I had lots of concern prior starting her to childcare but they were able to reassure every issue and continue to make sure that Isla is well taken care of while mum and dad are working. Communication has been great too, I love seeing the daily updates and photo that they send, also the updates they tell you on pick ups. This is a big adjustment not just for Isla but for the whole family and it has been a great experience so far. Would recommend! :)
