Our Philosophy
Little Stars Early Education Centre was formed on the lands of the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation. We acknowledge Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of this country and their connection to the land, water and community in which we operate. We pay our respect to them, their cultures and customs both past and present.
Educators work with integrity and trust, with children, families and each other. Educators are thoughtful and reflective, taking the time for themselves to recharge so their work practices are at their full potential. We recognise that educators are role models for the children and that they learn from us as examples. Educators demonstrate appropriate behaviour and communication, they are respectful, honest and work in a harmonious and calm manner.
All children will have an equal opportunity to learn and will be respected and not discriminated against no matter what gender, age, ability, economic status, family structure, ethnicity, lifestyle, religion, culture or language. We will educate children about differences between children, families and communities and help to promote positive self-esteem in all children. We will ensure families with additional needs are included and will offer any support, guidance and assistance needed. Little Stars Early Education Centre, We value the importance of play because it is through play that children have fun, enjoy themselves and are able to express and let their creative side out. Play is important as it allows children to make decisions in a world dominated by adults which results in a happy and confident child that has a positive self-image of oneself. Play is a way that children are able to learn and investigate the world and also further their development in a fun way, this provides the child with a sense of power.

After touring 7 different childcare centres I almost gave up my search until I came across Little Stars. The layout with the newly renovated facilities are perfect for my active toddler. From day one they have always strived to accommodate any requirements I've requested and has provided me with great support to my family on this new endeavour. A big thank you to all the staff from management, chef and educators for doing a wonderful job operating a centre that ticks all the boxes. Well done to the team for also creating an educational yet 'family feel' environment for our children, its certainly a refreshing approach that stands out from the rest.
Newly renovated centre with approachable and friendly educators. Highly recommend this centre if you truly want to feel at home and apart of a family. Will continually recommend to people I know :)
Little Stars has really transformed since the renovation, beautiful, inviting and safe space for young kids to thrive and develop. The staff are always caring and attentive to the kids, especially to my son who loves going there everyday! Thankyou to the kind and friendly staff Miriam and Ghiwa and the lovely educators Aparna who's always supportive and informing how my son is. Couldn't be happier with the centre!
Little stars has improved a lot in its educational environment and changed every single furniture and space to give children a better place to spend their growth and achieve their future goals.

The staff here are very caring and professional , your kids will be in very good hands and feel belonging this family
Well done Little Stars, keep bright
We feel incredibly lucky to have found such an exceptional childcare center for our daughter. From the very first day, we knew she was in caring and capable hands. We couldn't be happier with the quality of care our little one receives. The nurturing environment, dedicated educators, and well-thought-out programs have made a significant impact on our daughter's development.
The staff and educators at little stars are such wonderful people. They are so compassionate and caring towards all the children and they are extremely sufficient in keeping parents up to date with their children’s development. I highly recommend Little Stars.

Our child is so excited and happy to go to daycare here. Every educator takes their roles with a care and commitment that blows us away. The incursions and excursions bring so much joy to learning. Bush Kinder, community access, safety and health education, emergency services education, the list is endless and it is such invaluable information to teach from early ages. A beautiful and inclusive centre where parents are welcome to express and share their concerns and thoughts, and are encouraged to ask questions. With hosted family and open days for parent to mingle and connect, and parent and educator meeting to discuss developmental needs. Truly an incredible centre and one we are so glad we have found.

Little Stars has been such an incredible place for my daughter. I would highly recommend. They have excellent communication, particularly around informing on incidents. The educators have a genuine care for the kids. My daughter has loved going, she never cries going in and openly extends her arms to go to them every day. They always have fun activities planned and support their growth and next steps. They have the feel of a caring family owned establishment compared to a more clinical feel. In terms of educators, Jemma, Pretty, Bianca and Marianna have been particularly amazing to my daughter and we can't be more appreciative. Read more

First of all, I would like to say thank you for all your hard work in making this place a wonderful learning centre. My children started attending Little Stars since they were one. It was a good start until I noticed that it's not the same since many staff left and I spotted a random man in the centre. However, I was deciding whether to leave Little Stars at that time during the abnormalities. I am happy that I made the choice to stay under the new management t by the Ayad family. It has been. A great improvement seeing renovations of the whole centre, investment in learning materials and amazing curriculum. Now my children are 4 years old and they just love going to Little Stars. They get excited to go see their friends and educators. All educators including those who left and currently work at Little Stars have been amazing and truly caring. I do look forward to seeing new exciting and fun learning experiences that Little Stars and staff offer to the children. Keep up the good work guys! Ampira Read more

The educators and staff at Little stars have been warm and welcoming from day one. I toured a few child care centres before coming here and I immediately felt the difference. I felt reassured leaving my son in the care of the wonderful staff in the wombat room. Bianca’s caring nature is amazing, she is a true gem and cares so much for all the children. My son has an amazing time each week and I’m amazed at all the activities he does each time. Read more
