Campus Overview

Only About Children Williamstown has two dedicated outdoor yards where children have plenty of space for creating, exploring and directing their own play. You’ll find a team of qualified and passionate Educators at our Williamstown early learning centre, ready to provide a safe, stimulating, happy and nurturing space for your child. Our children enjoy a bike track, a large fort with a slide, a swing, sandpits, vegetable patch and composting space. We have an abundance of trees, for both shade and fruit growing! 

Our four age-based indoor spaces are specifically designed to encourage children to learn and grow with a focus on safety and natural elements. We enjoy getting out into our local community through planned excursions and community activities that build on our educational curriculum and the children’s interests. At our Williamstown early learning and Kindergarten centre these include reciprocal visits with Grade 4 students from Williamstown North Primary School, train trips to local areas and Library visits. 

With a team of qualified and passionate Educators, your child will find an early learning environment where they feel safe, nurtured, stimulated and happy. Our educational curriculum – Grow – gives Nursery, Toddler and Kindergarten children the best opportunity to develop their growing minds during their early years. It includes

  • Left Brain Logic – Literacy & Language, Exploration & STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering & Math) and Sustainability
  • Right Brain Creativity – Music, Dramatic Play and Art
  • Health and Wellbeing – Physical Activity and Nutrition
  • Social Development – Trust, Respect & Relationship and Resilience & Mindfulness

With an innovative play-based curriculum we stand out by delivering intentional teaching in dynamic small group learning environments where children’s successes, skills and challenges are monitored on an ongoing basis.
