Only About Children Waitara

Great dedicated staff. Recently been bought out (was a little Learning School) hence bringing thru price rises.

I dont think there is any other child centre that feels more like a family then this one. The wonderful staff at OAC have loved and helped raised my babies since 2013 and continue to nurture and educate them. Nothing is a drama for this team of professional educators, led by the amazing Ashlee. They are supportive, informative and always looking for new ways to exceed expectations of their families. I could not recommend a childcare more highly then the team at OAC Waitara. OAC Waitara = Family.

Our daughter first started at the center at the beginning of this year and after a bad experience with another center -I was hesitant to keep my child in care. However before to long I was completely impressed with this amazing centre and beautiful educators that are passionate, caring and love working with children. Now both my 3 year old and 6 month old attend. I absolutely love the philosophy and how the educational curriculum is created based on the children's interests and ideas. Only about children Waitara have not only begun preparing my child for school but have set her up to excel in all aspect of learning. During weekends all she talks about it wanting to go back on Monday and be with her friends and teachers. With my son, the have calm and assured me in putting my baby into care so young and been exceptionally nurturing during this transition. The Center Manager Ashlee is always there to answer any question promptly and in detail. I have finally found a center that makes you feel like you are more than just income or a number. I highly recommend this service to all families that are looking for care for their children.

Thank you to all the educators (past and present) and the current Centre Manager, Ashlee. They made our son feels loved, accepted and feels like the centre was a home away from home. They also made us, as parents, feel secure, knowing that we left our child in such a loving and caring environment. Our son was encouraged to grow as an individual and was taught with love and respect. Ashlee and the other educators were always on hand to address any of our concerns. Ashlee also made the transition to big school a lot easier by answering our many questions. Thank you again to all the educators and Ashlee. I highly recommend OAC Waitara to any families!

My daughter was bullied when she was there. I sent both my kids to OAC Waitara late 2019. We have withdrawn both kids in March 2020 due to the escalating COVID 19 situation. It has been brought to my attention that my daughter was called “pig” by another child, hurt by that kid during story section and scared by that kid. It is May now and she hasn’t been to the childcare for a while however she’s still talking about this and worried being bullied by that kid in the Childcare. This has obviously affected her psychologically and had a negative impact on her mental health. I am not sure what bullying policy/procedure is in place regarding monitoring and managing bullying behaviour but I certainly am concerned about this. Not saying that we are paying relatively more money comparing to other places.

My daughter has been attending the Little Learning for the past 2 1/2 almost 3 years now and it was the best decision I have ever made. She has grown and learnt more than I could of ever expected her to learn while attending daycare at this centre. I believe the staff deserve awards for everything they do day in day out. I have never ever had one issue with this centre and if I have questions or concerns Ashlee & Clare are always there to help with out any questions asked, and the best is it always comes with a beautiful smile.If you are looking for a centre around this area I highly recommend taking the time to pop into this centre as I know you'll feel as comfortable as I did when I was looking for the perfect daycare for my little princess.The Little Learning School in whole have always been extremely helpful.

My son has attended Oac waitara since he was 9 months old and has loved every day he is there. The educators genuinely care about the kids and family (even sent me activities for bub during lockdown!) and are creative in the way they educate and ensure kids have fun. I would recommend this childcare to everyone! Thank you so much for taking great care of my son.

Quite satisfied with this centre. Educators set a welcoming, warm and caring atmosphere. Educators' knowledge, understanding and communication skills are amazing. They have ample experience in taking care of children. Also, communication with families is in time and informative. My child attends this centre and soon settled in, and I could see his big smile. I do feel I have support in my life. Highly recommended!

Highly recommend! All educators are so kind, very professional and so understanding, communication is excellent keep me at ease , I got updates through the day. The place is cleaned by proper cleaners, toys are washed everyday, food are amazing, milk are also provided from them. Sleeping room is good size and quiet. This is the place that I feel completely safe to leave my son here in your care.

Beautiful small centre. Teachers at preschool are caring and easy to talk. Centre Director Jenny always there if I need any help or questions. Safe environment for my child ❤️
