WELCOME TO ONLY EARLY LEARNING CENTRE
Where Relationships Empower Learning
At Only Early Learning Centre, we provide nurturing, high-quality Education and Care programs for children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, fostering their development through positive, respectful relationships. With two services in Rouse Hill and Norwest, we are committed to partnering with families and the community to ensure every child thrives in an environment that values connection and emotional well-being.
Our approach is guided by attachment theory practices and the Circle of Security model, promoting positive emotional intelligence, self-regulation, and co-regulation. Our Educators are dedicated to continuous professional development, ensuring they are well-equipped to create meaningful, responsive interactions with each child.
Children at Only Early Learning Centre engage in developmentally appropriate programs across five learning rooms, each tailored to the unique needs of their age group. Prior to enrolment or transitioning, our Educators work closely with families to identify the most suitable learning environment for their child. Beyond the classroom, our generous outdoor spaces provide further opportunities for exploration and growth.
We are open from 6:30am to 6:30pm, Monday to Friday, operating year-round with closures only on Public Holidays and the days between Christmas and New Year’s.
At Only Early Learning Centre, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of effective education and care. We are proud to be a locally owned and operated service, deeply embedded in our community, where every family is a valued partner in their child’s learning journey.
In the Nursery, we provide a nurturing, secure environment where our youngest children can experience a strong sense of belonging. We focus on fostering emotional security, allowing each child to experience the joy of being present in the moment. Through responsive and gentle care, we cultivate their natural curiosity and help build the confidence they need to explore the world around them, laying the foundation for lifelong learning.
In the Discoverers room, we support our little ones as they begin their journey toward independence. Through a balance of guided exploration and child-led play, we provide rich opportunities for learning and discovery. Our educators tailor experiences to nurture their developing skills, while fostering a strong sense of security and confidence, encouraging each child to embrace new challenges and experiences.
Our Explorers are active, inquisitive, and constantly on the move! In this room, we create a dynamic environment that respects each child’s individual interests, family experiences, and cultural background. Our program is thoughtfully designed to offer experiences that stimulate their natural curiosity while supporting their physical, emotional, and cognitive development. We believe in the power of play as a pathway to learning.
In the Inventors room, we inspire children to develop their confidence and creativity. Our Educators create an environment that empowers each child to proudly say, "I can do it!" By unlocking their potential, we nurture their problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and ability to collaborate with others. We encourage them to take ownership of their learning journey, building a strong sense of achievement and self-worth.
In the Investigators room, we prepare children for the next step in their educational journey. Our innovative Transition to school program, aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework, supports the holistic development of each child. We continuously reflect on best practices and research new approaches to ensure that each child is equipped with the skills, confidence, and enthusiasm for lifelong learning as they transition into formal schooling.

We provide comprehensive Educational Programs inclusive of Transition to School preparation and a large emphasis on Emotional recognition and self regulation. We believe in a holistic approach inclusive of family and community involvement. The Centre philosophy is strongly based around attachment theory and we incorporate self-regulation & emotional intelligence building into its daily curriculums. Educators take on a play-based approach with strong emphasis on intentional teaching strategies to help the growth and individual development of all the Children across the Service. Our journey began in 2016 when we opened our first centre Only ELC Norwest and since then we have continued to provide high quality care and education into our Norwest service. Most recently Only ELC Norwest won the most outstanding Early Childhood Centre Award in 2020. In 2021, we opened a brand new purposed built centre opened at Rouse Hill to continue our success story. And we believe there will be more to come in the near future.
