Our 5 year old son has attended OAC for the last two years. We couldn’t be happier. The educators my son has had over this time have been great. Led by an amazing director in Liz. She is always so warm with my son and has really made our time at OAC a great one. Thank you to all the staff at OAC for everything you do for our kids.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at OAC Caringbah! The educators are warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth and happiness. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and designed to stimulate learning and play. Good care truly starts at the top, represented by Liz’s wonderful leadership. She, along with the educators in our kids' rooms, have been exemplary, setting a high standard for care and support. Highly recommended for anyone looking for exceptional childcare!

My family has been a part of the community since 2018 when our first started attending at 11 months old ans our youngest is still attending. I toured a few centres initially and the one was by far the freshest and cleanest and there are always new resources arriving. The staff are friendly, caring and empathetic and take care of the kids as if they are their own. The pre-school program has allowed the kids to develop so many life skills and has introduced the concept of smart boards, show and tell, numeracy, literacy, social skills and more. My kids tell me the chefs are also the best and the food is very tasty. They also participate in many cultural activities.I highly reccommend the centre!

I cannot speak highly enough of Only About Children's educators and management. Our 19-month-old has been attending this beautiful, modern centre since he was just 6 months old, and we are incredibly grateful for the fun, educational, and nurturing environment that the team provides. Our child's happy disposition is a testament to the exceptional care he receives. From the moment we enrolled, we felt confident that our child was in good hands. The staff are warm, approachable, and genuinely invested in the children's wellbeing. The facilities are top-notch, with an impressive range of resources and activities that cater to a variety of interests and learning styles. Overall, we have been extremely impressed with Only About Children and would highly recommend it to any parents looking for an outstanding childcare provider. Thank you to the entire team for all that you do!

Our daughter loves the educators so much at LLS that she talks about them on weekends, its very cute and show's how much influence they have on her life.The outdoor play area is fab with its numerous activities for young and old kids, and is big enough to be able to have different aged kids in different areas at the same time.We love picking up our daughter from LLS knowing she's had a wonderful day!

Couldn't be more happy with the patience, love and care the teachers have for my little one. As a mum who works full time there is nothing better than knowing you drop your little one off and pick them up with the biggest smile every day.

My son has attended for 2 years now and absolutely adores all the staff, his new friends and all the great activities the school does. He rarely wants to leave when I pick him up which is the best sign a parent can ask for. I have recommended the school to other friends who have sent their children and have all been really happy there too.
