Family Services at OWfC
Family grouping
In 1995, our belief in the value of family grouping was put to the ultimate test when we made the transition from age grouping to mixed age grouping. Now, ten years and much valuable experience later, we are still singing the praises and providing childcare in a family grouping environment. Click here to read more
3 Year Old Kindergarten
Our flexible programs will provide you with a range of care and education options for your family, that will happily include siblings and easily accommodate your individual needs. One World's 3 year old program provides the opportunity for your child to socialise with an extended group of peers, and to participate in an educational program which will enhance learning and overall development.

Kindergarten program
As your preschool child progresses towards school age, he or she will require more challenge in experience and more complexity in relationships to prepare for the transition to school, and a lifetime of learning. The most important indication that children are ready for school can be observed in their social skills. At school, children need to be confident enough to solve their own conflicts, ask questions of adults that they don't know, work independently as well as co-operatively with others, and make new friends.

Green Team
Susan, Cathy and Tania - OWFC Green team committee
Last year One World for Children developed a ‘Green Team’. One World for Children have always been environmentally conscious, with the new legislation in regards to the carbon emissions and the water restrictions gripping the country, we developed our ‘Green Team’ to make what we do more advanced and effective.

Virtual Tour
 With ample carparking, and close to public transport, we are ideally located in Thompsons Road North Geelong.
The Children's Centre is a purpose-built Centre comprising of four Family Group playrooms Ballah, Alkina, Rajah and Allunga, each licensed for twenty children ranging in age from birth to six years, and a sessional Kindergarten for both three and four year olds.
As you take the tour through the Centre, you will notice the care and attention to detail in the setting of the room and play areas. Our programs place an emphasis on creating environments for children that invite play and learning. Look for evidence of this as you wander through the playrooms. You will see that One World takes great pride in creating a homely and relaxing setting for your child.
Oh, and by-the-way, don’t forget to visit our beautiful garden playground! It’s well worth seeing. You can imagine what fun it is to play in! Take a peek.. at our virtual tour!

This was a huge success, and so, we have decided to continue with this program again in 2008. Each month completed nomination forms nominating either individuals or teams, will be received. We will review the month's nominations and announce the 3 winners of the “Outstanding Team Member” for the month, as well as the team awarded with “Outstanding Teamwork” for the quarter.
