Families joining OAK Early Learning Ripley in Toowoomba can expect an exceptional early childhood experience grounded in care, quality, and community.

With a strong focus on inquiry based learning, our experienced educators will provide rich, engaging programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and school readiness. Families will benefit from a strong sense of connection, open communication, and meaningful partnerships that support each child’s development journey. Like all of our OAK Early Learning services, we are committed to creating a welcoming space where children thrive and families feel confident and supported every step of the way.

When your child comes home every day saying it was the ‘best day ever,’ you know you’ve found something truly special. All the staff at Oak are so incredibly kind, caring, and attentive. The meals are both nutritious and delicious, and the activities are creative and fun every single day. … My child has absolutely thrived since starting here and I’m so grateful to all the staff for helping my child grow. I couldn’t recommend this centre more!

Daycare has been my son’s favorite part of the week, especially since moving up to pre-kindy with the engaging activities the teachers there have provided and the large play space for him to get his energy out. The food and snacks provided have careful planning and lots of love put into them and always give me new ideas for combinations to try out at home

Coming from family daycare I was extremely nervous to send my little one to a centre. After walking through the centre and meeting the staff I knew our Oak centre was the place for us! It’s a great centre, it has a beautiful large outside area for play and the classrooms are also generous in size. I’m so glad I checked them out after going through up to 10 centres locally.
