My child has been attending the centre for over four months now and I'm so happy to have found a place with such caring and thoughtful educators. They have provided frequent updates on my child's growth journey and is really invested in their development.The facilities are clean and the outdoor area is reasonably spacious. The educators spend a lot of time setting up the rooms in the morning to offer engaging activities for the kids and the outdoor mud kitchen provides endless opportunities for entertainment.The only downside to the centre is that lunch is not provided (morning tea, afternoon tea, and snacks are provided) but I've grown accustomed to packing lunches now, usually just with leftovers. I find it a small price to pay for my child to attend a centre where I know he will be well taken care of.I am also grateful for educators who go the extra mile to make life easier for me as a parent. There have been times where I have had difficult drop offs and pick ups and the educators do not hesistate to provide me with assistance.I highly recommend OAC Eastern Road for any parent who are looking to place their child in a good-quality ELC.

My daughter started at OAC back in 2020 after we moved into the area, she settled almost instantly, my son has been attending since he was 18 months old, he is now 4 and he absolutely loves Renee and the team. It’s like a second home and a second family for us, all the educators are so warm, caring and compassionate. The activities and curriculum are amazing, my daughter still insists on coming into pickup so she can see all her old teachers. I can’t speak highly enough of OAC Eastern Rd, Renee and all the staff. We are so incredibly happy with the care both our kids have and are receiving.

My four children have each attended Oac North Wahroonga, over the past 15 years. The teachers are dedicated and have such a heart for the kids, their wellbeing and their development. All of my kids have loved it here and I would not hesitate to recommend.

Our family, having previously experienced Montessori preschools, can confidently say that OAC surpasses our very high expectations. The attention to detail in preparing the rooms and planning activities is evident. The teachers are exceptional – caring, patient, and genuinely invested in the children's well-being. They even noticed our son's stutter early on and promptly arranged for an in-house speech consultant to provide initial screening and recommendations. This level of attentiveness speaks volumes about their commitment to each child's development. OAC goes beyond mere childcare, it fosters an environment where children thrive socially and academically. With an excellent team and honestly the most passionate campus director we’ve ever met, OAC feels like a second home for our son. We highly recommend it to parents seeking outstanding childcare.

Absolutely beautiful childcare with wonderful staff. Our daughter has truly flourished under the care, support and guidance of the dedicated centre staff. The education curriculum is outstanding and well-rounded. The centre provides regular and detailed communication. Would highly recommend the centre to any family!

Phenomenal childcare center. They see each child for their individual character and strengths. Focusing on each kid’s best qualities builds their confidence and capabilities, it validates who they are exactly as they come. They let my kid explore her curiosities and get stuck into messy play (so I don’t have to do it at home!) and be her best self. Seeing my kid thrive at this center has been beautiful and relieving and awesome. Feels like she is genuinely liked by her teachers, which is the best introduction we can give her to school. We love it here.
