Free Incursions & Excursions!
Incursions, excursions, nappies . . . why do early learning centres charge for these? Shouldn't it all be part of the experience and included in fees? Wouldn't budgeting be easier if you knew exactly what your childcare was going to cost? We think so, which is why Raising Stars Early Learning Centre now includes all these 'extras' as part of our standard fees.

What the parents say
What the parents say
We are very happy with Raising Stars! Before enrolling my daughter here, I visited four other centers, and Raising Stars was by far the best. From the moment you arrive, you get good vibes—there’s a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The teachers are wonderful and genuinely care about the kids. My daughter is always happy and safe throughout the day. I highly recommend Raising Stars to any parent looking for a nurturing and caring environment for their child.

If anyone is looking for daycare, go to Raising Star!! Staff, educators are fantastic. They offer tons of daily sensory activities and events. Parents can access to child’s activity through the app: pictures, food, sleep, nappy changes. My son has learned so much at the centre. The facilities are great, too. All indoors, but play area is huge, no worry about getting wet in rainy days. Parking is in the basement, again rain proof. Thank you so much, ladies. You guys are the best!! 🙂

Its never easy choosing a day care for your child but am glad my partner did all the hard yards and found Raising Stars. Throughout the last 3 years the team have demonstrated this by providing a high level of care in a warm and homey environment. It was a pleasure to drop off and pick up our child, having the peace mind whilst being at work. Again thanks to the team at Raising Stars thanks for supporting our child, he will never forget countless memorable moments at Raising Stars.

I don’t personally have a child at this centre or know of anyone who does, but I couldn’t help but share such a cute experience i witnessed today! On my way to work I could hear upbeat music coming from somewhere as I got closer I realised it was coming from the childcare centre, as I walked past I witnessed the children and educators having an absolute blast just dancing and vibing along to music. As a former childcare worker myself it was beautiful to see such amazing interactions as an outsider Read more

I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the entire team at Raising Stars for the incredible care and attention they’ve given Aleks. A special thank you to Ms. Eva and Dyah for always making sure Aleks is happy, engaged, and involved at the centre. Their warmth and dedication are truly appreciated. I’d also like to thank the chef for patiently encouraging Aleks to eat, knowing how picky he can be. Lastly, a big thank you to Sir Josh, who Aleks calls his friend, and to Ms. Gift, who is such a wonderful director. Your support and leadership mean a lot to us.
