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.
Here's what our families have to say
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Only About Children Rhodes. Both of our girls absolutely love it here—the staff are caring, attentive, and foster a nurturing, positive, and professional learning environment.
The strong relationships built between educators and children, especially during the early settling-in period, have been incredibly supportive and made a real difference for our girls.
It’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown and learned since starting. We feel very lucky to be part of this community. Thank you to the wonderful team at OAC Rhodes!
We have had at least one of our children here for the past 4 years and can only speak highly of the warmth and care that has been provided. We are very happy and feel comfortable and confident with the care and education being provided.
Wonderful childcare centre. Both my boys attend (my eldest for nearly 4 years now, as a baby right through to his last year of preschool) and are thriving. Importantly, the continuity of care is exceptional - very low staff turnover and all the senior staff are so experienced and have taken the time to really get to know and care for our children personally. Both kids happily toddle into daycare each morning with zero tears, because they genuinely love going. Would highly recommend.
We may have only been at OAC for two weeks but every second has been fantastic!
Our son had a really hard time at his last centre and just was not enjoying it at all, since we have come to OAC he has just gotten better and better! We couldn’t have asked for a better environment and more dedicated team of educators.
Thank you to Jaide, Jessica and Zahra especially, they are amazing educators and have made our family feel so at home. All concerns I’ve raised (ie. his eating habits) have been met with understanding and respect, and they have gone above and beyond to make sure there is always a second option for our son.
I want to thank Kirsten as well. She has been incredible and always so thorough with her handovers which I appreciate so much. We’re just super happy with how positive our son is right now
I’d like to thank Em as well, from the very first time we came through the door, Em was so happy and welcoming! We told her our names once and she hasn’t forgotten since. She always says hello to my son and puts a smile on his face the minute he walks in. And it’s just so reassuring and lovely to know that is so passionate in taking into account not only my sons eating habits, but every child’s! Amazing!
We would also like to thank you Lacy. It has felt like our family was meant to be at OAC. Everyone has been so welcoming and you have been so supportive of what our needs are. So thank you all so much!
I’m so incredibly thankful to the Only About Children Elsternwick educators, chef’s, current leadership team who have been the most amazing support for my son and our family. After moving here from another child care centre where my child had difficulties settling in, the educators went above and beyond to listen to their requirements, make adjustments and provide them the love and care that allowed them to settle in and thrive almost immediately. The recent leadership team have been amazing ensuring we have an incredibly empowered and stable group of educators who really love our kids, with the best facilities for our children to learn, develop and grow and also a fun and supportive community for the parents, including delicious cooking classes too! Highly recommend
Great staff, amazing with the kids. My little man Harry’s love going to school which makes life easier
Only About Children (OAC) Little Village Early Learning Centre based in Buderim is not only an aesthetically pleasing facility, it’s enriched with highly educated, skilled and knowledgeable early learning educators and is founded on the child-centred learning approach.
Over the past year, we have seen the centres education team stablished through permanent staff appointments and studio allocations. Furthermore, we have seen an improvement in communications on safety, quality and general updates across the facility, and a strong feeling of inclusiveness and trust built through family and centre staff partnerships, as well as community.
From quality management, a focus on occupational health and safety, catering, considered education and up to date furnishing and learning tools, we feel confident and assured as parents that our child is safe, well looked after, is genuinely having fun and is continuously learning when they attend OAC.
We have seen a remarkable and positive shift in the learning and education program deployed within the last six months. We have seen our child go from strength to strength developmentally and become a strong and resilient child. Our child enjoys the incursion and themed week opportunities. This is a credit to Emma, Rebecca and the OAC team.
We’ve had such a good experience with OAC Elsternwick. The educators are caring and attentive, and our son comes home excited to tell us about what he’s been doing. It’s clear he feels happy and supported there, and we really value the updates the staff share with us.
OAC Elsternwick is fantastic. Everyone there is so attentive, the meals are always fresh and well thought out, and our little one loves all th activities.
Couldn’t be happier with the care and facilities at OAC Elsternwick. All the staff go above and beyond and our little one always has such a great time. Highly recommend.
Many thanks to the educators and staff for their hard work, dedication and attentiveness to support our son, and our family, through his first child care experience. Their communication, willingness to work with us, and overall approach has been impressive and reassuring, and is greatly appreciated.
OAC is great! My son has a wonderful time there. Every day, he comes home telling me all about how much fun he had and the great activities he did.
