About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

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.

Centre philosophy

We kept hearing such positive things about North Star Early Education, and now we completely understand why so many families choose it. There is a real sense of community from the moment you walk in. The educators are warm, professional, and genuinely invested in the children. It feels calm, well run, and welcoming every single day. It is clear why this centre is so highly regarded locally. If you are looking for a place where your child will feel safe, supported, and thrive, this is it.

We absolutely love this centre. As a local healthcare worker, accessibility is incredibly important to me, and this centre makes everything so easy. I can drop off and pick up seamlessly around my hospital shifts, and getting in and out is stress free, which makes a huge difference on busy days. The team are genuinely lovely and very approachable. They always take the time to chat, provide updates, and make you feel welcome. There is a real warmth when you walk through the doors, and it feels like a centre that truly cares about both the children and the families.

I honestly love this centre. Every time I walk in, it just feels warm and welcoming. The educators are always so friendly and approachable, and you can tell they genuinely care about the kids. I really like that it is a smaller, boutique centre. It feels personal and not overwhelming, and the staff are so hands on with the children. You always see them down at the kids’ level, playing, teaching, and really engaging with them. There is such a lovely mix of educators and they all seem genuinely happy to be there. That positive vibe definitely rubs off on the children, because the whole place just feels calm and happy. They also really look after the parents, which makes such a difference. It feels like a little community, not just a childcare centre. We feel very lucky to be part of it.
