Why Choose Us?
So glad you asked! Because we’re so much more than childcare. We’re a place to grow (and learn and make friends and explore the world and become school-ready!). What sets us apart is our curriculum and inclusions, immersed throughout your child’s day, every single day.
At Only About Children We Are More Than Childcare.
Our unique approach to early learning goes beyond education to encompass the health, social development and total wellbeing of every child in our care. We call it the OAC Way.Here's what our families have to say
Sharna and the team at OAC have been so kind and caring to my son and daughter over the many years we have spent there. The centre always feels warm and welcoming, the rooms are so bright and engaging for the children and their individual interests have been supported and explored. The big outdoor area is a plus for active kids and the underground parking is so handy for drop offs when it's raining. If you have a question or an issue, they genuinely listen and try to help. It's so hard to find a place where the vibes feel right and you feel like you trust the team, but we do here :)
Our daughter C. has been thriving here. She started in the babies’ room after we had a difficult experience at another daycare, where she cried all day and struggled to settle. On her very first day here, she walked in with a smile and never looked back—there wasn’t a single tear.
The entire team is so warm, caring, and welcoming. A special thank you to Liz, the director, who has always been incredibly supportive and understanding of our family’s needs. As we don’t have any family in Australia, her kindness and willingness to work with us have meant so much.
It’s such a reassuring feeling to know our daughter is happy, safe, and genuinely excited to go each day. We couldn’t recommend this centre more highly.
A fantastic daycare centre with friendly, caring staff who provide excellent communication and keep families well informed.
The campus is lovely, and the rooftop playground is a favourite with the children. The school readiness program is excellent and does a great job preparing children for school.
The educators are dedicated, supportive, and genuinely care about every child.

We have been involved in OAC for near 4 years now. Our daughter this year is having a wonderful experience at kindy. The diverse learning opportunities, engaging educational programs, and real-life experiences create a nurturing environment for children to thrive. The educators are exceptional, professional, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and wellbeing. We highly recommend this kindy.
Both of our children have attended over the past three years, and the care, kindness and support from the team has been exceptional. The centre is welcoming, well maintained and we've loved seeing the investment in new resources and learning experiences for the children.
Thank you to the entire team for the care and memories you've given our family—we'll always be grateful. Highly recommend.
Honestly theses guys deserve way more then a 5 star 🌟 my little girl and I have been on quite a journey to find the right fit for us. Feeling incredibly grateful to have been so lucky to attend this centre. Management are incredibly switched on and supportive so grateful for Georgia and Erin. In the little time my daughter has attended this centre her development and growth is incredible, biggest gratitude to Sonya, Teresa and Seema. I believe it is every mother’s wish to be able to leave their children in good hands and to know they will be nurtured, love, safe and well taken care of in every aspect.
Forever grateful

We have been at this centre for 10 years and have had 3 kids all go from babies to preschool 2. Liz and her team are amazing and our kids have developed into well rounded, socialised kids with no issues in transitioning to big school.

We have had such a wonderful experience at OAC Elswick St. The educators are amazing — they are caring, attentive, and my son absolutely loves them. It’s so reassuring to see the bond he has built with them.
The Director has also been fantastic. When I first started sending my son to daycare, I was feeling very anxious, and she was incredibly understanding and supportive. I never felt like I was a burden for calling to check in and make sure he was okay, which meant so much to me during that transition.
The centre is always clean, welcoming, and well looked after, and the children always look happy and engaged. We feel very grateful to have found such a wonderful place for our son to learn and grow.
Only About Children Caringbah is such a lovely centre with a warm and welcoming environment. Claire is kind, patient, and genuinely cares about the children. It's clear she always puts their safety and wellbeing first. I would definitely recommend this centre.
My daughter has attended Only About Children for over a year. She is in her first year of kindergarten now. The facilities are great; clean, age appropriate, interactive. The activities are brilliant. The children do art, there’s a sports class, obstacle courses, toys such as animals, sensory, house play, shapes and building. They read stories, learn about different cultures, sing songs and dance. But one of my daughter’s favourite aspects of the care is what she learns. She’s learnt about the body, solar system, dinosaurs, how things grow, choices. And she really is understanding what they’re teaching her through songs, art, puzzles and demonstration because it makes for great bed time conversations where she is keen to explain to me these different aspects of the world.
They helped with toilet training and provide small toilets and teach proper hand cleaning.
Every member of staff from the front door to the kitchen and all the class rooms in between are friendly, calm, kind and genuinely interested in the well being of the children. I’ve had many different conversations about different issues such as my daughter’s speech to touring primary schools and they’ve always had the time to talk and given me great input and advice. Also organising a specialist to observe my daughter as we were a little concerned about her stuttering.
OAC is a beautiful inside and out, safe and caring environment and I recommend their services.
OAC Haberfield has been our daughter’s favourite place to go during the week. With no family or support nearby, the team at OAC are our village. Every educator is so caring and loving with our child and we feel it every day our daughter excitedly puts her shoes on to go to daycare. It truly takes my anxiety away handing my daughter over to such a lovely team of educators and carers.

We are so lucky to have our daughter at OAC Eastern Road. Ariane and her team are like our second family and we are forever grateful for the love, care and support from this wonderful team. Couldn’t recommend them enough!!
We had high expectations, and OAC has comfortably EXCEEDED them.
Our son is absolutely thriving at OAC Little Village. He’s confident, has built great bonds with the staff, and is genuinely excited for drop-off every single morning. Knowing he's in such a positive environment gives us total peace of mind.
The new 2026 leadership team deserves a lot of credit, too. Communication is sharp, the educators are fantastic, and there’s a great community vibe throughout the place.
If you're looking for high-quality early learning on the Coast, Little Village ticks the right boxes.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at OAC Little Village.
As a professional working family in healthcare and engineering, our son spends long days in care, so choosing the right early learning centre was incredibly important to us. Having come from an excellent centre in Brisbane, we had high expectations when we moved to the Sunshine Coast in early 2025.
OAC Little Village has met and now exceeds those expectations. Since joining the centre, our son has absolutely thrived. He is engaged, confident and genuinely excited to go each day, and it has been wonderful to watch him develop such positive relationships with the educators and other children.
We've been especially impressed by the positive direction of the centre under its new leadership in 2026. The communication with families is excellent, the educators are warm, caring and genuinely invested in each child's wellbeing and development, and there is a real sense of community throughout the centre.
Knowing our son is spending his days in such a nurturing, engaging environment gives us enormous peace of mind. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found OAC Little Village and would highly recommend it to any family looking for a high-quality early learning centre.
Saw my friends daughter (Ashmita's daughter). The improvement in her behaviour is impressive. She has learned so much. Looks like all the staff in her school really friendly and believe in hands on learning. Definetly recommend Only About Children to everyone...

She can crawl , rolls and even she eat puree and she play a lot with me. Its such a great achievement.Highly recommended🙂
We’ve had a great experience with Only About Children. The staff are so friendly and caring, and the communication has always been really good. We love getting updates about Agustín’s day and seeing everything he’s learning.
Since starting, Agustín has become so much more confident, independent and social, and it’s been amazing to watch him learn new things. It’s clear that the educators genuinely care about the kids.
Thanks to the whole team for looking after him so well. We definitely recommend Only About Children!
We have found the crew at OAC Elsternwick to be welcoming, dedicated and nurturing of our toddler.
OAC consistently demonstrates genuine efforts to optimise the care experience...
Thank you OAC Elsternwick
Both my children have had a fantastic experience here. I highly recommend this centre and believe they are a great team of educators and teachers. I’ve had dealings with both the regional manager and the campus director and both are fantastic.
Very happy
