My daughter chose OAC Hornsby herself after we toured 4 centers in Hornsby area. It was a wise decision. The educators there are very nice and patient. Their daily activities are fun and educational. Another standout quality of this center is the genuine affection the educators have for the children. The bonds they form with the little ones create extended family atmosphere - the exact reason my daughter chose them.

My son gets high quality caring and education in OAC Hornsby! He really learned a lot in this centre. Educaters and his friends are all kind and helpful! The centre provides a huge numbers of well maintained toys and creative activities. Everyday sharing news activity is great, it's really important for children to build confidence and enhance language skills. And the centre did a great job in cultivating children's hygiene habits.👍🏻

OAC Hornsby was the best decision we made for our son. They have provided him with an environment that’s not only full of love and care but full of enriching learning experiences. The teachers put in a lot of effort to ensure that your child is ready for school, has sensory learning activities each day, and also learn with nature. Their learning program is the best and the regular updates you get on your child progress and how his day was is just brilliant. My son has learnt so much at here that I can’t recommend them enough.
