The focus of the Nursery Program is to provide warmth, love, and security. Educators work closely with families to make sure that little ones receive the care and support they need to thrive, giving you total peace of mind.

The Nursery Program includes key activities that help babies develop their:

• Physical strength and hand-eye coordination
• Senses
• Spatial orientation
• Understanding of different sights and sounds
• Social and emotional interaction skills

At Little Stars, every child’s journey is overseen by accredited, friendly, caring and attentive educators who put the children’s interests front and centre.

The team works collaboratively to provide tailored care and learning for children, and actively work to provide a safe, secure, warm and homelike environment where children can thrive.

Team members stay abreast of new development in childcare, and communicate openly with families, to ensure every child feels accepted and valued.

Little Stars recognises that parents are the first and continuing carers and educators of their children. The centre aims to function as an extended family, providing a secure and trusted environment. Educators actively build quality relationships with families, to achieve the best possible outcome for children.

Families are welcome to speak with educators at any time, and are encouraged to share information on a child's interests, culture and personal experiences. This is then used to help provide tailored experiences, and to develop inclusive care practices and play environments.

The centre has clear and easy to follow parent and guardian information. It also provides updates through the year on child activities and centre events.

Contemporary research has made explicit the connection between the quality of relationships in children’s early years and their future positive cognitive and social development. 

Little Stars works in partnership with children, families, and the community to develop and plan a curriculum that supports a child’s sense of belonging, being and becoming. 

Designed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, the curriculum has a strong emphasis on play-based learning, delivered in a sensory and stimulating environment that enables all children to develop towards their full potential.

The centre recognises the importance of communication and language, and embraces early literacy and numeracy. The curriculum also includes a range of activities including art, music, sport and dancing, that encourage mindfulness, creativity and individuality.
