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.

We are new to this center after many years at another local center and i can tell you its a breath of fresh air. The care and dedication has blown me away. They have so many activities daily and really put thought, effort and structure into the kids days. The xplor app is always full of great details and photos about the kids days, and you actually get messages about how your child's day was when you pick them up. This center is culture rich and full of exciting inclusions with music and sport. Moving centers is daunting but my kids took like ducks to water with a easy transition and wonderful staff who genuinely have your childs interests in mind. On top of wonderful rooms, they have several animals and have plant / food growing programs. This center is one to definitely tour as the center management team have been brilliant from the get go. The team, although many, all know my children by name and interact with them. Clear communication and care. I am so pleased I changed my kids because this place is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing my children thrive as they already have in such a short period.

Highly recommend little stars Pakenham, our son has not been looked after by many people but the girls in nursery room 2 have been so patient with him and he is now thriving and having so much fun he has only been attending for 1 month and from a little boy who refused to eat or play in the first week he is now absolutely loving it. Thank you Maddi, Sarah and the whole Nursery 2 room Staff for making this transition for him and myself so easy and stress free.

Absolutely love little stars Pakenham and how they care for my children. Had my oldest attend for 2 years now she’s in primary school and now have my youngest who’s 1 attend. Thought I’d struggle with settling her in but within a couple days she was absolutely excited to get in the car and head to daycare. If you’re in Pakenham or surrounding areas I highly recommend Little Stars Pakenham, the educators truly do have your little ones best interest at heart! Thank you to the team at little stars Pakenham x
