OVERVIEW
Our oasis is an extension of your home where children from 6 weeks to formal schooling can be, belong and become. We offer quality education, before and after school and vacation care in a meaningful place where family and community converge.
Come in – you’ll immediately sense the warmth and ease of our home away from home. Our open-door policy helps foster robust family partnerships and a supportive community.
True to our purpose and values, we create opportunities for children to interact and understand the world around them. We listen to, respect, mentor and challenge each child to nurture the curiosity and empathy that champions engaged local, national, international and global citizens.
We do it all here; premium, full-service, early childhood education and experience. Painting, crafts, mastering a yoga pose or building an epic sandcastle – there’s always a new way to learn. Extracurricular experiences like theatre, dance, drama and language harmonise unstructured play. Hosted by qualified, dynamic teachers, these specialist programs allow for experimentation and complement the curriculum.
With state-of-the-art facilities, our highly qualified educators create a co-learning environment where children feel safe to indulge their curiosity, grasp the tools and develop the confidence for lifelong success.
At Oak Tree, we want every child to discover their infinite potential and get a great start in life. Expect excellence.
WHAT WE OFFER
How we can help
As you navigate how early learning fits your family, our care options contract and expand with your needs. More than the sum of our parts, our excellence comes from our offerings, people, and culture. We cover as much as we can so you don’t have to.
Our early learning and childcare provides quality, individually-tailored education and care to children from six weeks to formal schooling. We have specialised infant care facilities including separated outdoor play spaces that enrich play experiences, ensure safety, and meet the specific needs of each age group.
Our seasonally-inspired menus are designed in consultation with Nutrition Australia. Fussy eater? We’ll win them over with freshly cooked three-course meals prepared on-site by our in-house chef using fresh, local market ingredients. Yum.
When it comes to consumables, we use premium quality nappies and wipes to keep sensitive skin happy. And our clean, climate-controlled environment is comfy, so your child can concentrate on having fun.
Our extensive Kindergarten program brings out innate skills, talents, and interests with engaging, ongoing projects, from cooking, science and language, to literacy and numeracy. Extra-curricular programs complement learning: yoga, LOTE-based communication building, growing future green thumbs with gardening and sustainability and fitness fun. Computer-based learning is also incorporated across all ages.
At Oak Tree Academy, we offer before and after school care, supporting homework and/or just having fun. There’s also vacation care, for 6-12 years including programs like cooking, gardening, and social excursions to theme parks, restaurants, movies and mini-golf.
Our award-winning management and leadership team offer a Queensland Government approved kindergarten program delivered by university-qualified early childhood teachers. Let us guide and give your child a beautiful start to their early learning journey.
Not cookie cutter early learning.
OUR DIFFERENCE
Ticking boxes isn’t our thing. We come into your child’s life from six weeks to formal schooling when they’re learning about life and laying down the fabric of their personhood. We take that responsibility seriously.
A warm and caring environment is the foundation of our facility. And because great early education and care is nuanced, flexible and tailored to your child’s needs, our stimulating and responsive environment is engineered to encourage social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.
We actively build strong partnerships with families and the community and create synergy between here and home. We listen and notice the small things so your child feels valued, respected, challenged and understood. When they’re safe and brave in their enquiry, they can become better local, national, international, and global citizens.
As a full-service provider, we mix unstructured play with everything from arts, language and yoga to STEM activities, drama and dance. To extend, complement and contrast our regular classroom activities, we offer internationally-recognised programs like bush kinder.
Under our educator’s kind, playful and patient direction, your child is empowered to achieve anything. These building experiences are the beginnings of autonomy which generates the energy for extended learning.
Play-based learning thrives in our considered, accessible indoor and outdoor environments. Cosy reading nooks and dedicated learning and interacting areas create natural opportunities for growth through curiosity.
Creativity, imagination and exploration live here.
