Meet the team

At Little Stars, every child’s journey is overseen by accredited, friendly, caring and attentive educators who put the children’s interests front and centre.

The team works collaboratively to provide tailored care and learning for children, and actively work to provide a safe, secure, warm and homelike environment where children can thrive.

Team members stay abreast of new development in childcare, and communicate openly with families, to ensure every child feels accepted and valued.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Little Stars recognises that parents are the first and continuing carers and educators of their children. The centre aims to function as an extended family, providing a secure and trusted environment. Educators actively build quality relationships with families, to achieve the best possible outcome for children.

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.

 

About the curriculum

About the curriculum

Contemporary research has made explicit the connection between the quality of relationships in children’s early years and their future positive cognitive and social development. 

Little Stars works in partnership with children, families, and the community to develop and plan a curriculum that supports a child’s sense of belonging, being and becoming. 

Designed in line with the Early Years Learning Framework, the curriculum has a strong emphasis on play-based learning, delivered in a sensory and stimulating environment that enables all children to develop towards their full potential.

The centre recognises the importance of communication and language, and embraces early literacy and numeracy. The curriculum also includes a range of activities including art, music, sport and dancing, that encourage mindfulness, creativity and individuality.

We’ve been at little stars for two years now and have had a wonderful experience. The kinder program is fantastic, and we’ve seen tremendous growth in our son during his time here. There is a great variety of meals, endless activities and toys, and plenty to keep the children engaged even on wet weather days. Communication is excellent, and the staff are always accommodating when we need to add extra days at short notice. Highly recommend!

Here is what you may face right after enrolling. Ratios are never 4:1. I made multiple surprise visits to my child’s room and personally observed children being left alone and unattended. Staff are very smiley and welcoming when parents are present, but the environment changes completely when you are not around. Children are left to play on tablets—yes, they do use tablets, despite claiming they do not. With up to eight children and only one overwhelmed staff member, the only option seems to be keeping children occupied with screens. God forbid your child is involved in an incident—unless you witness it yourself, no one will tell you. In many cases, staff are not even aware that an incident has occurred. Dealing with operations management is an entirely different experience compared to the warm and friendly approach shown during enrolment. It feels like stepping into a completely different world. Do your child a favour and stay away.
