We have both our kids at Only About Children in Glebe and really love the centre. The educators and staff are lovely and our children are really happy there. We really like the outdoor space and feel the children get a lot from being able to be outside so much.
OAC Glebe is a wonderful centre that has taken great care of our kids. There is a great set of educators and staff, our kids love the facilities and food, and the other kids and parents are also a great bunch.
Our family has been with OAC since 2019, and now our daughter is part of the OAC family. The continuity and stability of the educators is outstanding many of the same caring staff who guided our son until he started school in 2023 are still there today. OAC provides a safe, nurturing, and enriching environment where children quickly feel comfortable and thrive. We also appreciate their support during COVID-19 with the Grow at Home program, as well as their celebration of diversity through multicultural festivals. OAC truly lives up to its name—Only About Children!
We’ve had such a positive experience at OAC Melb Central and would truly recommend anyone interested to (at the very least) come for a tour!
In addition to being located at such a convenient and central mall, the educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely care for the children. Our daughter settled in so quick when she joined last year and it gave us confidence and a peace of mind that she feels safe and happy.
In the last few months, as she progressed from toddler to pre-school rooms, her educators were so committed to help and teach her navigate social situations as well as standing up for herself. As a parent, it is incredibly heartwarming to observe our daughter’s confidence bloom as she enters this next phase.
Negar, Katie, Precious, Xinyu and team, we are so thankful and grateful for your support and for being a part of our village.
The indoor playground is spacious and always clean, providing a safe and fun space for the kids to play & learn. The teachers are fantastic—attentive and always keep us well-informed about our child’s progress. Very happy with the care and environment at this center!
Thank you so much to Mary she went above and beyond to assist me through the enrolment process, Mary and the educators are so warm and welcoming and took such excellent care with my little one. Highly recommend!
Growing Young Minds. Designed for each child’s unique developmental age.
Nursery (0-2 years)
A safe, nurturing place for your little one. The first two years of life is a time of rapid growth and development, where every moment matters. At Only About Children, we’re here to provide all the care and support your little one needs during this phase, establishing a strong foundation.
Toddler (2-3 years)
Toddlerhood is an incredible time of exploration and discovery, as toddlers gain an increasing sense of self and an understanding of the world around them - they are full of curiosity and eager to develop their independence. We support toddlers and encourage this growth and development.
Preschool & Kindergarten (3-5 years)
The years before school are a time of rapid growth for children’s minds, their emotional and physical development and their understanding of the world. The preschool and kinder years from 3 – 5 are a great time to lay down a love of learning as well as the developmental skills required to thrive.
