“As the Centre Director of Oz Education Gunnedah, my top priority is on the safety, wellbeing, and happiness of every child.

Our STEM program introduces children to science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through hands-on, play-based learning. By encouraging curiosity, problem-solving, and creative thinking, children explore how things work in a fun and engaging way. These early experiences help build confidence, critical thinking skills, and a strong foundation for lifelong learning.

Alongside guided activities, children are encouraged to experiment, ask questions, and learn through discovery. Whether they are building simple structures, exploring patterns, or engaging with age-appropriate technology, our STEM experiences are designed to spark interest and develop real-world thinking skills in a supportive and engaging environment.

Choosing the right early learning centre is an important decision. At Oz Education Early Learning Centres, we’re proud to partner with families to create a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for every child.

From our caring educators to our enriching learning programs, families trust us to support their children during the most important early years of development.

At Oz Education, nothing is more important than the happiness, safety and wellbeing of your child.

The Government has introduced the 3 Day Guarantee, which provides all CCS eligible families with a minimum of 72 subsidised hours per fortnight, no matter your work, study or training hours.

Oz Education Early Learning Centres offer flexible hours – 9, 10, 11 or full day long daycare sessions to help minimise your out-of-pocket expenses for childcare and save further. If your family is entitled to a maximum subsidy of 95%, your fees could start from as little as $12 a day, depending on the centre.

Oz Education centres in New South Wales are approved for the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) and participate in the NSW Start Strong program.

This ensures high‑quality early learning is accessible for more families. We’re here to support families and provide the best care and learning for every child.
