About Only About children

We believe children have a right to a choice when it comes to their learning, so at Only About Children (OAC) the basis of our curriculum is child-led play-based learning. This is embedded into our daily practice with programs such as Active, Drama, Language, Music & Sustainability. Our programs are not `bolted on' - they are embedded into everything that we do.
