Welcome to Only About Children Highett

Welcome to Only About Children Highett!

Only About Children Highett is a warm and inviting child care centre where children are cared for by qualified and passionate educators. The safe and home-like environment facilitates play-based learning that is both structured and unstructured.  Children from six weeks to school age are able to attend from 7am to 6:30 pm with all meals and snacks provided.

In the large outdoor play spaces, the children are free to dig in the sandpit, water the plants in the vegetable garden, or ride on the bike track. 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 regular visits to the local primary schools, to prepare the children for their own transition to school.

About the curriculum

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.

The Grow Curriculum is the centre’s unique educational framework and the basis for essential early years learning and development. 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.

Response from the owner 01 Jan 2024

Hi, thank you so much for your amazing review of Only About Children Highett and for being part of the Only About Children family for the past 6 years! Like all other childcare centres we were impacted by Covid but have come out better and stronger thanks to the amazing work of Allana and the great team of Educators at this campus. Thanks once again for sharing your experience. Kind regards Fiona
