Welcome to Only About Children St Leonards!

Only About Children St Leonards is a warm and inviting child care centre conveniently located on the Pacific Highway. Children are cared for by qualified and passionate educators, in a safe and home-like environment that facilitates play-based learning that is both structured and unstructured.  Children from six weeks to school age are cared for from 7:00 am to 6:30 pm in this bright and airy centre, with all meals and snacks provided.

In the large outdoor play spaces, the children are free to dig in the sandpit, ride around the bike track, or play in the cubby house. Inside, the light-filled spaces use natural materials to encourage play and interaction with friends. Educators enjoy taking the children out in the local community for excursions and community activities that build on the children’s interests. This includes visits to the local shops, cafe and the Gore Hill Oval.

Only About Children consider themselves much more than just child care. They are a place for children to grow, learn, make friends, explore the world and become school-ready. The children are exposed to a vast array of programs and inclusions as part of the daily fee.

It includes core practices and programs that children are immersed in daily, through a balance of structured and unstructured play-based learning. It is guided by the Australian Early Years Learning Framework. Spanning nursery, toddler, preschool and school readiness ages.

The 4 key areas of the curriculum are:

  • Left Brain Logic – Literacy & Language, Exploration & STEM (Science, Tech, Engineering & Math) and Sustainability
  • Right Brain Creativity – Music, Dramatic Play and Art
  • Health and Wellbeing – Physical Activity and Nutrition
  • Social Development, Trust, Respect & Relationships and Resilience & Mindfulness

To support the Grow Curriculum, the centre also has relationships with local schools to help with the transition to school, including school readiness workshops for families.
