I have worked at OAC Macquarie Park for the entirety of my early education career! The centre is not just a place of work but feels like "home" for many of us staff. We all share such diverse experience and knowledge which we love to impart on all the children. It has been such a pleasure to support & watch so many children grow from our nursery rooms through to toddler and then to wish them well as they graduate preschool! I couldn't dream of a better workplace.

Only About Children had provided me with the opportunity to progress from a traineeship to Diploma and eventually completing my degree in Early Childhood Teaching. The organisation as a whole is very supportive of professional development, providing employees with an abundance of training and resources.

Senior Operations Manager, Victoria
Working at our centre is a heartwarming experience filled with special moments. Each morning, I'm greeted with big welcome hugs from some of the children, which never fails to brighten my day and set a positive tone for our time together. It's a beautiful reminder of the genuine connections we share with the children and the trust they have in us as educators.

"I’m an Educator, not a babysitter."
One of the greatest insults for parents, teachers and early childhood educators is to suggest early learning is merely ‘babysitting’.

“When you get quality services and quality organisations delivering a higher standard of care that sits outside of basic childcare, then people start to develop a new respect for it. Having engaged, passionate and well-educated educators who love what they do, that’s what’s necessary to continue to lift the profile."
