State Government Approved Programs
North Star collaborates with FinlandWay®, a renowned curriculum provider from Finland, to deliver all of our educational frameworks. This partnership allows your child the opportunity of being exposed to Finland’s globally acclaimed early education system, which is firmly grounded in university-supported research.
Distinguishing itself from nearly all other childcare centres in Australia, North Star offers an intricate daily learning curriculum meticulously crafted by authentic education scientists and early childhood experts. This curriculum remains consistently updated with the most recent research findings. Through a play-based approach, your child’s educational journey becomes a joyful and natural experience.
Our daily plans cover progressive, age-specific learning targets from six weeks to six years of age. We follow and implement the Learning Outcomes, Practices and Principles of the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) alongside the 5 Learning Areas of the FinlandWay Education Model – The World of Languages, Exploration and the Environment, Art and Creative Expression, Physical and Mental Wellbeing and Social Skills. This supports comprehensive development, learning goals and well-being in all elements of a child’s early learning journey. See below to see the additional learning your child will encounter.
Individual Learning Portfolios
North Star’s curriculum is tailored to each child’s unique development pace, with individual learning portfolios documenting progress and goals. These portfolios are reviewed regularly with families, ensuring that each child’s needs are met in line with our bespoke curriculum, including for those with special educational requirements.
Daily Highlights
Parents can stay connected to their child’s day through the StoryPark app, which shares daily highlights, photos, reflections, and updates. This platform allows direct communication with educators, creating a transparent and interactive connection between home and centre.
Supporting Your Child’s Progress
Every seven weeks, parents receive a comprehensive report with observations, recommendations, and support strategies tailored to each child. Educators use these reports to adjust classroom plans and communicate insights during parents’ evenings, fostering collaborative support for every child’s growth.
Well-being Program
North Star offers a well-being program for children, parents, and staff, providing regular evening lectures on essential topics like sleep training, multilingual family dynamics, and First Aid for children. These sessions aim to support the entire community in creating a healthy, balanced environment.
Weekly Reflections
At the end of each week, your child’s key educator reflects on their learning journey, preparing a summary to share with you. This provides valuable insight into your child’s experiences and ways to support their development at home, helping you stay actively involved in their early education.
We are firm believers in holistic learning, where every child should have the freedom to learn and flourish within a nurturing and stimulating environment. This environment not only supports their unique traits and interests but also fosters the self-assurance necessary for their future development and success.
North Star’s team comprises highly qualified and compassionate professionals dedicated to nurturing and educating the next generation. Each staff member brings experience and credentials in early childhood education, further strengthened by rigorous, continuous training in the FinlandWay® teaching philosophy, developed by the University of Helsinki’s Senior Lecturers.
Staff undergo thorough interviews, complete Paediatric First Aid training, and participate in a comprehensive onboarding process that supports their growth and career development. With FinlandWay®'s globally respected approach, North Star ensures a positive, forward-thinking work environment, focusing on the well-being of both the team and the children they care for.

North Star Bellfield is such an incredible little gem of a centre. Even as a third time mum, it is always nerve racking when your child begins their experience in care and although my youngest is only very young, she has been welcomed and cared for so graciously by educators. It is so reassuring to know that she is being so well planned and cared for throughout the day. I am so appreciative of the warmth and care my child receives, as well as the overall wonderful facilities, resources and programs that she is involved in. Thank you North star Bellfield for providing such a great service!

Amazing childcare with a heart! The Finland style of education means my daughter is nurtured as an individual in a calm, beautiful environment. As a first-time mum, the constant updates and communicative staff have made the transition so easy. My little girl is always so quick to embrace her genuinely lovely carers, which has been such a huge relief. They have been so determined and consistent in helping her settle in and aligning with her daytime nap routine. From the healthy food and high-quality toys, clean rooms & thoughtfully designed spaces, to the parent community events (and the coffee machine for parents on the go!), they truly think of everything. My daughter is thriving here and I couldn't recommend North Star more highly! She just did a little excited squeal when I dropped her off this morning, and thats pretty reassuring from a 10 month old!
