At Starlin Family Day Care, we provide a welcoming and nurturing environment for children aged 6 months to 12 years, with care and experiences tailored to their different ages, interests and developmental needs.
Early Learning (6 months to 5 years)
Our early learning experiences combine play-based learning activities. Through creative play, hands-on exploration, stories, music and everyday experiences, children are encouraged to develop curiosity, confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Before-School and After-School Care
We provide a supportive environment for school-aged children before and after the school day. Children can enjoy a relaxed routine, meaningful activities, play and opportunities to connect with others.
Vacation Care: During school holidays, children can enjoy engaging activities, creative experiences, indoor and outdoor play, and opportunities to explore their interests in a caring home environment.
At Starlin, we value every child's individuality and aim to create positive experiences where children feel safe, included and encouraged to grow.

At Starlin Family Day Care, we believe every child deserves to feel safe, respected, valued and supported as they discover the world around them.
Our approach combines play-based learning with the principles of non-violent communication and humanistic parenting. We foster an environment built on empathy, respect, connection and positive communication, where children are encouraged to express their feelings, develop confidence and build meaningful relationships.
We believe children learn best through doing - by exploring, imagining, creating and interacting with the world around them. Every day offers opportunities to develop independence, curiosity, kindness and a genuine joy in learning.
Our Learning Focus Includes:
⭐ Social and Emotional Development - Encouraging emotional awareness, empathy, communication and positive relationships through play and everyday interactions.
⭐ Cognitive and Language Development - Supporting thinking, communication and language skills through reading, music, storytelling and engaging experiences.
⭐ Physical Development - Building coordination, confidence and healthy habits through outdoor play, movement and active exploration.
⭐ Creativity and Imagination - Inspiring self-expression through art, sensory experiences, imaginative play and creative activities.
We recognise that every child is unique and develops at their own pace. By nurturing curiosity, kindness and independence, we aim to support children not only in preparing for school, but in developing the confidence and life skills they need to thrive.
