Welcome to Only About Children Hornsby

Welcome to Only About Children Hornsby!

At Only About Children Hornsby, we believe that our holistic approach to childcare gives every child the best opportunity to reach their full potential. Our quality early learning programs are innovative, with a focus on health, wellbeing and education. 

Our purpose-built Campus is intimate and homely. We are conveniently located at 90 Balmoral Street, just a short walk from Waitara Public School and Hornsby Hospital. With onsite parking available, families can enjoy a smooth drop off and pick up each time they visit. We are uniquely situated between a number of fantastic local reserves, parks and playgrounds with plenty to offer the whole family. Hornsby Station is a 16-minute walk in one direction and Waitara Station is a 14-minute walk in the other. We have bus stops nearby that connect to the wider area in both directions.  

With a naturally shaded, dedicated outdoor play area – featuring bike tracks and a slide – children enjoy the space to create, explore and lead their own play. Our two age-based indoor spaces have been designed specifically to encourage children’s learning and growth through a focus on safety and natural elements. We love to connect with our local area and community through excursions and activities that feed into children’s interests and learning. At our Hornsby childcare centre these include regular trips to local parks and our nearby Only About Children Wahroonga Campus. 

When your child is enrolled at Only About Children childcare Hornsby, they are included in our Health Program, offering specialist screening and support in Nutrition, Vision, Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology. Each day your child will enjoy nourishing and freshly prepared, seasonal, meals designed by a qualified Dietitian. 

At our Hornsby early learning centre you will find a team of qualified and passionate Educators ready to help your child feel stimulated, safe, nurtured and happy. Our educational curriculum, known as Oac Grow, specifically supports the development of growing minds in Nursery and Preschool aged children. We cover numeracy and literacy, technology, creative expression, exploration and sustainability. Every day, your child will take part in a range of experiences exclusive to Only About Children. Our teaching is delivered in a fun, inclusive environment. Our ‘Active’ program helps children learn gross motor skills and improve their strength, endurance, flexibility, balance and coordination. 

Our play-based curriculum allows us to deliver considered teaching in dynamic small group learning environments where we regularly monitor children’s challenges, successes and skills.

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 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 and is designed by the in-house Education and Health Specialists and tailored for toddler and preschool. 

The curriculum has a focus on left brain logic and right brain creativity and encompasses the social development, health & wellbeing of every child. 

  • 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.
