About us
Only About Children
Only About Children is a purpose-led provider of early years education and childcare with over 20 years’ experience in Australia.
We proudly operate over 80 campuses across Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. This breadth gives us the opportunity to provide high-quality early years education and care to over 8,000 families and employs over 2,000 people, whose skills, experience and passion help us to deliver on our mission to empower every child to reach their full potential.
It’s our unique approach to childcare that gives children the platform they need to thrive. It’s an approach that goes beyond education to encompass the health, development and total wellbeing of every child in our care.
Only About Children is owned by Bright Horizons, a global provider of care solutions for working families, with nearly 40 years of experience. It was founded by former humanitarian workers in the 1980s who saw that quality and accessible childcare was an enormous obstacle for working parents. In response, they established centres to support working families during a time of rising female workforce participation.
Bright Horizons’ and Only About Children’s model is long-term and mission driven. Our focus is on providing great outcomes for children, backed by deep investment in people, programs, and environments.
