👶 Nursery(Koala Room): 6 weeks - 12 months

A nurturing environment where experiences are crafted to extend children's interests and abilities. Outdoor play is cherished throughout the year, and flexible routines accommodate individual needs. 

Our nurturing space fosters a strong sense of belonging, ensuring every child feels cherished. 

Outdoor play is a must, and our Koala Rooms have a special outdoor area, lush and shaded, offering endless opportunities for exploration and fun throughout the year. 

We understand that every child follows their unique routine, and we collaborate closely with families to meet their individual needs. Clear communication with families is a top priority, respecting their valuable insights and knowledge.

In our Kangaroo Room, we are proud to offer a stimulating and engaging Kindergarten program designed to equip 4 to 6-year-olds with the skills they need for a successful lifelong learning journey. Our approach is based on play, as we believe that children learn best when they are having fun and actively exploring the world around them.

Through our play-based approach, children are encouraged to investigate and explore, developing essential problem-solving and creative thinking skills that will serve them well throughout their lives. We foster positive social interactions and encourage lateral thinking, giving children the tools they need to succeed in school and beyond.

At our Kindergarten, we recognise the importance of preparing children for the transition to prep, and we are dedicated to helping them develop the confidence, autonomy, and self-esteem they need to thrive. Our programs are supported by a range of exciting incursion and excursion activities that take place throughout the year, providing children with a well-rounded and enriching educational experience.

At Little Stars Early Education Centre, we foster a culture of integrity, trust, and compassion among our educators. Thoughtful and reflective, they prioritize their well-being to deliver their best to children and families. They exemplify respect, honesty, and harmony in all interactions.

Our educators celebrate diversity, nurturing positive self-esteem in every child. Through play, children experience joy, self-expression, and unleash their creativity. It empowers them to make decisions and fosters confidence and a positive self-image. 

Play is not just fun, but a vital learning tool, allowing children to explore, investigate, and develop in an enjoyable way. It empowers them with a sense of control and understanding of the world around them. At Little Stars, play is the key to happy and confident children ready to embrace their journey of growth! 

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 :)
