Why choose Oac?
Why choose Oac?
There are so many factors that come into play
when choosing your child’s early learning provider.
It’s one of the most important decisions you’ll make,
as we now know how critical the first six years are
to a child’s development.
From 0-6, a child’s brain develops more than at any
other time in their life! Every experience, every sight,
sound, touch, smell and taste, stimulates their brain
and lays down a lifelong foundation for learning,
health and behaviour.

The Oac Mission
The Oac Vision
To encourage every child to reach
his or her full potential.
To be the world’s leading early
years learning provider.
Oac Mission Vision

10 11Only About Children
“The Oac Way is more than a philosophy,
it’s an approach to childcare based
on the latest educational thinking and
developmental research, harnessing the
many advances at our fingertips in the
21st century. The Oac Way is our way
of ensuring all children reach their full
potential in life.”
The Oac Way
A new approach in educational and developmental thinking
Only About Children came into the childcare sector
with a vision to change things and not simply to accept
the traditional status quo. We wanted to make things
better, to move things forward. We felt that when it came
to children, they deserved more. And when we looked
around us, we saw old fashioned facilities, old fashioned
teaching methods and old fashioned ideas.
So we changed that. Only About Children is dedicated
to delivering inspired, world class early years education.
To achieve this, we’ve developed an early learning model
designed to encourage every child to reach their full
potential in life.
We call it the Oac Way.
It’s a unique, 21st century approach to childcare and gives
children the platform they need to thrive. It’s an approach
that goes beyond education to encompass the health and
total wellbeing of every child in our care, offering exclusive
services in these areas.
The Oac Way has 3 key areas which work together,
holistically, to achieve outstanding results for children
– people, products and partnerships.
People
Our Educators are our greatest strength and work with us
because they desire a career in early childhood education,
not just a job. They’re passionate about teaching and giving
children the attention, care and support they need.
Products Services
Oac has created innovative custom environments for
children to safely play and learn. Together with our Oac
Grow curriculum, Oac Health services, Oac Nutrition and
Oac Active programs, we’ve created a world-leading offering
designed to give children the best possible preparation for life.
Partnerships with parents community
Strong partnerships with families and communities are key
to the Oac Way. We believe in the proverb, ‘it takes a village
to raise a child’ and through active, two way relationships
with families via Oac CONNECT and our dedicated Customer
Relations Team, it means we can understand and meet every
child and family’s unique needs more fully. We also recognise
and value the community by being actively involved.
The Oac Way

Qualified, professional, respectful, caring… we look for
these traits and more in our people. We don’t think that’s
too much to ask for. After all, the care and guidance of
your children is so important.
We seek out passionate people who are looking for a
career, not simply a job. This means you’ll see more focus,
experience, commitment and energy being shown to your
children. Within every Oac campus are degree qualified
early childhood Teachers.
Attracting and retaining high quality Educators is a key part
of the Oac Way because building long lasting relationships
with your child and family are vital. To do this, we inspire,
reward and support our team in a range of ways. Firstly, we
invest in their future by providing an expanded professional
practice program, to increase their knowledge of our
educational curriculum, Oac Grow, and childhood health
and development program, Oac Health.
We also offer a cutting edge leadership development program
and study assistance to ensure continual learning and
upskilling. We encourage activities that increase team
cohesion to help create an engaging work environment.
Our campuses also work together, sharing best practice
and resources to enhance our knowledge.
We celebrate people’s achievements too, whether it’s with a
thank you note, a reward dinner or a peer recognition award
– it’s about inspiring our team members.
Having fulfilled, happy Educators and support staff at Oac
with access to the latest resources, infrastructure, training
courses and programs delivers enormous benefits to your
child’s early learning experiences.
With the right people in place, the next step is to meet your
family, and to build an ongoing relationship with you and
your child. This starts at your orientation visit and continues
each and every day your child attends their Oac campus.
Oac People

childhood education sector.”

Oac Education
We want children at Oac to be stimulated and given the
best opportunity possible to develop their growing minds.
Oac Grow is our unique educational curriculum that forms
the basis for essential early education and development.
This curriculum has been developed so that every child has
the opportunity to embark on a wonderful early learning
journey and achieve his or her potential through the nursery
years, toddler years and preschool.
Oac Grow is an innovative play-based
curriculum that differs to other early
education programs by delivering
intentional teaching in dynamic small
group learning environments where
children’s successes, skills and challenges
are monitored on an ongoing basis.
Oac Grow calls on international best practice and is guided
by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework.
Educators use Oac Grow to support each child by identifying
their unique strengths, emerging skills and challenges at each
stage in their early childhood journey.
Using evidence-based learning outcomes and in partnership
with families (who are of course, a child’s first teacher), Oac’s
passionate team of Educators delivers the most effective early
childhood education program to all children.
In short, your child will thrive with our Oac Grow curriculum.
Curriculum principles include:
• Language, literacy and communication
• Physical development, health and wellbeing
• Numeracy and problem solving
• Creative Arts
• Science and technology
• Social competency
• Sustainability and caring for our planet
These principles are delivered through a combination of
structured and spontaneous play-based learning opportunities
that consider each child’s strengths, interests and next steps.
“Through Oac Grow, we address all
areas of your child’s development
– physical, cognitive, emotional and
social. The program offers experiences
that are appropriate to every child’s
unique stage of development, therefore
promoting positive learning outcomes
for all children.”
Oac Education
Our inspired educational curriculum – Oac Grow

A child’s thirst for knowledge and stimulation at this
stage of life is phenomenal, so within our Oac Grow
curriculum, we incorporate a range of experiences
that enrich your child’s learning.
These include:
• Music classes
• Second language classes
• Technology integration
Igniting a passion for music
Children love exploring music through song, dance, play,
movement and active listening, so we include weekly music
sessions in our Oac Grow curriculum. Research shows that
music enhances a child’s learning capacity, and assists with
early motor skill development, group dynamics, socialisation,
rhythm and speech.
A love of language
Your child’s brain is primed for language learning during
the first few years of life. Oac Grow offers a fun, weekly play-
based program introducing your little ones to French, Spanish
and Italian in an exciting way. C’est magnifique.
High tech, high fun
Today’s children are living with a range of devices in
their everyday lives. Research shows that intentional and
developmentally appropriate use of technology can support
and enhance learning and development. We integrate
technology such as iPads purposefully and appropriately
to support the learning experiences at Oac.

Oac Health
Supporting your child’s development
As part of the Oac Way, we offer a holistic approach to
your child’s development, which means we encompass
not just the education, but the physical health and
emotional wellbeing of every child in our care.
Oac screenings identified possible
impairments – 16% visual, 21% hearing,
13% speech (2014/2015 screenings)
This innovative program offers allied health specialist
support in areas such as Occupational Therapy, Speech
Pathology, Hearing and Vision. Comprehensive advice and
recommendations are provided, which helps support quality
educational outcomes for all children.
These exclusive Oac Health services are all included
as part of your daily fee.
Occupational Therapy
OT enhances a child’s performance in everyday, age
appropriate experiences. A child’s ‘occupation’ includes
playing, learning, socialising and the role of being a child.
Oac Occupational Therapists can assist children with:
• Achieving developmental milestones
• Participating in everyday activities including mealtimes,
toileting and dressing
• Enhancing sensory processing skills for learning
and development, including sensory sensitivities and
motor planning
• Developing age appropriate fine and gross motor skills
• Developing play skills and forming secure relationships
with peers and adults
• A medical or developmental diagnosis that impacts on
their development and skill acquisition
Speech Pathology
Our Speech Pathologists support children to develop age
appropriate speech sounds and increase their understanding
and use of language. Our speech and language offering
includes screening, by request, for all children from 2 years.
We offer support in:
• Early language development
• Speech sound delays/disorders
• Language delays/disorders
• Stuttering
• Feeding/swallowing disorders
Oac Health offers allied health
specialist support in Occupational
Therapy, Speech Pathology,
Hearing and Vision.
Oac Health

Sometimes children require additional support with their
health and development. You might want to check your
child’s hearing levels or determine if a vision problem
exists. You may be curious about the development of
speech and language skills.
Hearing
Throughout a child’s life, factors can arise that may impact
their ability to hear. For example, a cold or ear infection may
come and go but leave a residual blockage in the middle ear
resulting in a mild or even moderate hearing loss. Although
often temporary, such a hearing loss can remain undetected
for several months.
In that time your child hears the world differently. Speech
will be softer, and the important cues in speech may be
unperceivable to them. This can directly impact a child’s
ability to develop speech and language skills simply because
they cannot hear it normally. It can also have a significant
impact on their ability to interact, enjoy and learn from the
world around them.
The aim of the hearing and balance screening performed
throughout Oac campuses is to identify hearing levels, the
health of the ear drum and middle ear system as well as
identify children with hearing loss or Otitis Media
(‘Glue Ear’ or middle ear infection).
We currently screen children once between the ages of
3 and 5 and this determines if your child’s hearing threshold
is within a normal range. Recommendations will then be
made if hearing concerns are identified.
Vision
One in four children have a vision problem which may affect
their ability to concentrate and understand in the classroom,
so it’s important to get your child’s vision checked before
they start school.
While most vision screens look only at how clearly a child
can see at distance, we work with specialists to provide
a more comprehensive suite of vision tests which includes
assessments of:
• Anterior eye health
• Visual acuity
• Eye movements
• Binocular vision (two eyes working together as a team)
Our Oac Vision Specialists currently screen all 2 and 4 year
old children, and results are provided to each family via the
Campus Director.
Oac Health

Oac Nutrition
Helping little minds and bodies grow
We passionately believe that good nutrition plays a vital
role in children’s physical and mental development in early
childhood. Research supports the fact that it is directly
linked to all aspects of their growth and development.
At Oac, we started with the simple premise, that children
aren’t small adults, so their nutrition needs are different.
Rapid growth means energy needs for their size are high.
To meet energy and nutrition requirements for growth and
development, children benefit from having a wide variety
of foods from the five food groups.
Children require a variety of nutrient-dense foods such as
fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, meat, fish and adequate
calories in order to grow and develop properly.
The best possible nutritional start to life
Most children form lifelong eating patterns by the time they
reach school age, so it’s a huge responsibility for Oac to guide
children towards sound food habits which will help them to
maintain good health in the long term.
Providing children with the right nutrition will ensure they learn
at an early age what is necessary for good health. This will help
to set them up for a life of proper eating, giving them the best
possible nutritional start to life.
At Oac, we have engaged an accredited and renowned
Nutritionist, to create mindful and nutritious menus for all
campuses, as well as provide holistic health advice to Oac
Educators, children and their families.
The Oac Nutrition program includes a 4 week rotating
seasonal menu that meets children’s needs, taking into account
nutritional and energy requirements as well as cultural and
health needs.
Each Oac campus has their own cook who works in a modern
on-site state of the art kitchen to freshly prepare daily all of the
children’s delicious meals.
As part of the Oac Nutrition program, we offer nutritional advice
for children and families throughout the year via seminars and
talks. Plus any parent can ask to know more about nutrition for
their children and what our program includes at any time.

The Oac Way is about ensuring the holistic wellbeing
of the children in our care. So we’ve developed Oac
Active as part of our weekly offering, because physical
confidence is important to a child’s self-esteem and
capacity for development.
We’re very proud of this exclusive program. Oac Active
is designed by a qualified Sports Science Physiologist
in consultation with the Oac Health Team to help
children learn important gross motor skills. Gross Motor
Development is a fundamental base skill to many areas
of learning.
This program also leads to improvements in strength,
endurance, flexibility, balance and co-ordination in
a fun, inclusive environment.
Oac Active introduces children to the
concepts of:
• Wellbeing
• Developing confidence in their own bodies
and improving self esteem
• Improving gross motor skills
• Enjoying physical activity
The program involves two weekly sessions over the course
of 30 weeks. With each session, there are ways to make
the session easier or harder to ensure that all children can
participate and most importantly, they’re having fun.

The Oac Campus
An environment that lets your child thrive
At Oac, our values are communicated through our
environment, so with our purpose-built campuses,
we aim to dazzle children’s senses, invite curiosity and
discovery, and teach children to respect and appreciate
the space around them.
Our learning environments are purposely designed to support
our curriculum as well as provide for children’s individual
learning styles, strengths and interests. Children learn readily
from their environments, developing key skills such as self
regulation, autonomy and independence.
Our focus is to bring natural elements into our campuses
and we place great emphasis on the design and resourcing
of our classrooms.
The safety of your child is paramount. We use keypad
security access, safety gates, shaded play areas and well
maintained buildings and resources to provide a safe
environment for your child.
Rooms have been designed specifically to meet the
development of the children in each age group. The age
ranges offer flexibility so we can transition children
based on both their age and developmental stage. Generally,
children in our classrooms stay with their friends in their
room for the entire year, forming close bonds and friendships.
Our campuses encourage Educators, families and children
to engage in innovative practices and appreciate the
wonder of the natural world while protecting the planet for
future generations.
Oac Educators make sustainable practices a part of the daily
routine. Sustainability through interactive learning elements
might include a vegetable and herb garden, compost or worm
farm systems. Other regular sustainable practices include:
• Recycling
• Gardening
• Water conservation
• Making natural choices for play materials
• Exploring the natural world

Nursery (0–2 years)
Cuddles, comfort and discovery
From birth, babies are primed and ready
to soak up all the wonders life can offer.
Every day is a brave new frontier and
another opportunity to learn. Whether
it’s moving, communicating or exploring
their surroundings, their world is full
of awe. What a privilege it is for us at
Oac to help your child with this most
important journey.
We aim to make the transition between
home and Oac as seamless as possible.
Your child will have his or her own special
Educator, or primary caregiver, who will
be responsible for his or her care, activities
and will support your child in feeling safe
and secure in their new environment. Our
Educators work closely with you to find out
about your home routine, your child’s sleep
and feeding patterns. We’re also in constant
communication as your child’s needs change.
To support this critical and exciting stage of
a baby’s development, we aim to provide a
peaceful environment that is physically safe,
cognitively challenging and emotionally
nurturing through the sensitive observations
of our caring and qualified Educators.
Things we value dearly in our Nursery
rooms are one on one time and small group
play. We take time to establish genuine
respectful relationships with your child
through cuddles, conversation and special
quiet time together.
A thoughtfully set up environment, where
an infant feels secure and at ease, supports
self-initiated play without the need to be
entertained or stimulated.
Physical and cognitive skills, confidence
and self-esteem are built as the infant
explores in their own way. Adults can
support this by being present, peaceful,
empathetic and responsive.
On a practical note, we provide a sleeping
nursery, cot linen, nappies, Avent bottles,
formula of choice, cow’s milk, soy milk
and wholesome meals that change as your
child’s eating habits change.
Of course, you can visit your child for
cuddles during the day or to breastfeed
– our open door policy means you are
welcome at any time.
Oac Nursery

Toddlers (2–3 years)
Curious, busy and finding their way
What an incredible stage of development
toddlerhood is. This curious, busy and
energetic group of children are keen
to take on challenges and develop
their physical skills, sometimes at
an astonishing rate. Our passionate
Educators happily support them on this
journey, guiding them and helping them
form bonds and trust outside the home.
Toddlers start to develop their
independence at this age. As well as
encouraging this important transition,
we offer guidance on how to share,
communicate with other children,
and to participate in group activities.
Your child’s transition from being
dependent to independent is strongly
supported in areas such as toilet training,
independence at meal times and following
their Educator’s directions.
Our Educators happily answer all the
“why” questions and provide quality
learning experiences that reflect your child’s
current interests and gain feedback about
your child, as change happens quickly.
“Earlier is not better.
All children accomplish
milestones in their own
way, in their own time”
– Magda Gerber
Family input is highly valued and family
members are involved in our program.
Families are encouraged to join us for
social events, to read stories to the children,
share holiday stories and help with cooking
experiences. Our Toddler rooms are a great
stepping stone to the preschool environment.
Oac Toddlers

Preschool/Kindergarten (3–6 years)
The best possible preparation for school and life
Preschool is a time when your child’s
world grows exponentially… through
new influences, exposure to a broader
range of people and ideas, and a
greater perspective of the world
around them. It’s exciting watching
them expand their horizons. Moreover,
today’s preschooler lives in a rapidly
transforming environment where
technological developments are
altering the skills that they need
to acquire.
They now require additional capabilities
that prepare them not only for school, but
for life. Critical thinking, problem solving
and creativity are now seen as essential
learning dispositions and the new basis
for 21st century learning.
Oac Grow Preschool/
Kindergarten
Our innovative preschool program is
based on the most current research,
and offers a comprehensive curriculum
for 3 to 6 year olds that ensures the best
possible preparation for school and life.
The program is integrated across the day
and led by university degree qualified
Teachers. It’s a play-based program, with
children participating in regular small
group activities.
A typical preschool day is broken up into
specific sessions of structured teacher-
led learning as well as opportunities
for children to initiate their own play.
Educational learning is planned from
daily observations, children’s individual
interests and families’ input. Through
choice, challenge and practice, they will
continue to develop independent life
skills, and grow in self-confidence and
self-identity.
In many ways, Oac Grow Preschool is
preparing your child for a future that we
don’t yet know, and for jobs that are yet
to be created.
School Readiness Program
As part of our preschool offering, we
ensure that all children are prepared for
a positive transition to school. Children
are supported in developing letter and
number recognition, science and maths
concepts, technology skills and social
competence in their year prior to school.
We collaborate with local schools and
assist families to feel ready and informed
when their child enrols at school.
Oac Preschool/Kindergarten

At Oac, we pride ourselves on fostering and
sustaining respectful and pro-active partnerships
with our families. We believe it makes a tremendous
difference to how well a child flourishes, knowing
they are in a nurturing circle of families, Educators
and community members.
In this fast paced world and with so many busy working
families, we provide an environment that replicates a
“village” dynamic. We care about getting to know your
family and celebrate what makes you unique. We promote
family involvement within our campuses through our open
door policy, family events and participation in our programs.
Campuses hold regular social events where you’ll meet other
families and enjoy celebrations with your children. Events
include morning and afternoon teas, art exhibitions, BBQs
and other important calendar events.
Oac recognises the importance of valuing not only our
families, but also the community as a whole. We feel a
sense of belonging to our local community.
We encourage our team to participate passionately with
the community around them, either through excursions
or incursions with members of the local community.
“As well as People and Products, the
third unique strength of the Oac Way
is Partnerships… partnerships with
families, and partnerships with local
communities.”

Waitlisting… the first step of the journey
If you like the sound of the Oac Way, and you’d like your
child’s early learning experience to be with us, we’d be
thrilled to have you join us.
It’s never too early to put your child on the Oac waitlist.
At any time you can visit our website and register your
child’s details. You can enter your target start date,
your preferred days and register for up to three campuses.
Once on our waitlist, you will receive regular updates
from our Customer Relations Team with information about
availability, booking tours, open days and other relevant
campus information. You can call any time if you need to
update your application or change any details. We recommend
you waitlist your child as early as possible to gain a position
when you need it.
When a vacancy becomes available at a campus, we contact
our waitlisted families who have matching preferences to
offer them an enrolment as a priority.
Tour our campus and meet the team
We encourage families to come for a campus tour, meet our
Educators and ask us any questions they like. It’s the perfect
way to showcase our learning environments, talk about
the Oac Way in more detail and reassure you that your
child will always be in safe hands with us.
Campus locations

Request an Enrolment Pack
Why not phone our team on T: 02 8968 1500 and request
an Enrolment Pack for your child?
Alternatively, visit oac.edu.au.
We look forward to hearing from you, and sincerely hope
we can help make your child’s early learning experience
a magical and fulfilling one.
