Campus Overview
Only About Children Geebung is a warm and inviting childcare centre, with dedicated outdoor play areas – including hedged garden zones, outdoor art studio, and digging patch, as well as picnic areas – where children have plenty of space to explore, create, and lead their own play. Our three well-equipped cottage rooms are designed to encourage children to learn and grow, at their age and stage of development, in a secure ‘home away from home’ environment. 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 Only About Children Childcare Geebung, these include trips to our local school and organised shows onsite.
Families at our Geebung campus enjoy –

Only About Children Geebung, we offer More Than Childcare. Our unique approach to early years learning goes beyond education to encompass the health, social development and wellbeing of every child in our care. We call it The OAC Way.
Our innovative play-based Grow Curriculum gives Nursery, Toddler and Preschool 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

- Health and Wellbeing – Physical Activity and Nutrition
- Social Development – Trust, Respect & Relationship and Resilience & Mindfulness
Our Grow curriculum is delivered via intentional teaching in dynamic small group learning environments where children’s successes, skills and challenges are monitored on an ongoing basis.
OAC Flexi (occasional care) is available at our Geebung Campus. This option is for families wishing to utilise occasional or back up childcare at short notice. OAC Flexi is available in 2 sessions, full day or part day and is available for children aged 12 weeks – 5 years old.
