The most caring and compassionate staff I have come across! We moved from another local centre after multiple issues around safety and treatment of our child....and I wish we found Little Stars earlier!! This centre is beautiful with the new updates and renovations, and the educators go above and beyond for our babies!! I cannot fault the centre, management or staff....everyone truely cares deeply about every child and it really shows. On some days our daughter doesnt want to leave because she is having the best time Highly highly recommend this centre 😃

Our purpose-built centre features modern learning spaces, quality resources, and safe indoor and outdoor environments designed to support every stage of your child’s development.
We support families in accessing CCS and funded Kindergarten programs, helping make quality early learning more affordable and accessible.
Our Bush Kinder program allows children to explore nature, build confidence, and develop resilience through hands-on outdoor learning experiences.
Regular incursions and excursions enrich our curriculum, providing engaging real-world learning experiences beyond the classroom.
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.
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.
The guiding principle of our service is that ‘The best interests of the child are paramount’. How do we make that happen? We begin by making the child the centre of our approach by building everything we do on our Centre philosophy.
Our philosophy is to include all children in our Little Stars family and make a positive contribution to their future success by delivering high-quality education and care. We acknowledge that 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.
We recognise the importance of quality early childhood education and care practices and settings and acknowledge this is a priority in providing children with stimulating play experiences and learning environments which will positively enable all children to develop to their full potential.
We plan to stimulate indoor and outdoor environments based on play, children’s strengths and interests that support all aspects of children’s learning and provoke exploration, intrigue and discovery as this promotes opportunities for sustained and collaborative learning.
We work 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.
Families are supported to provide their individual contributions and personal experiences as we recognise that good practice in early childhood education and care incorporates these contributions and experiences to develop inclusive care practices and play environments and build our cultural competence.
We are responsive to children’s needs and initiate positive engagement with their families to develop trust and respect to strengthen collaborative relationships.
We recognise the importance of working in partnership with families and that this enhances better outcomes for their children.
We know that children who develop good eating habits now will have better eating habits when they are older.

When Ferntree Gully Children’s Centre transitioned to Little Stars, I’ll admit I was hesitant. Having worked in the early childhood sector for many years, I’ve seen firsthand how changes in management can sometimes impact the culture, staff morale, and the genuine passion educators bring to their work with children. I can honestly say I have been absolutely blown away by this transition. The educators and staff have handled every change with incredible professionalism, grace, and dedication. Throughout it all, their focus has remained exactly where it should be…on the children and ensuring they felt safe, supported, and cared for every step of the way. Their commitment, warmth, and love for the children shine through every single day. The new management team deserves enormous recognition as well. They have approached this transition with empathy, compassion, and genuine respect for the wonderful existing staff and families. It is clear they value the relationships and community that have already been built, while continuing to create a positive and nurturing environment for everyone involved. As parents, we could not be happier to send our little boy here each day. Knowing he is surrounded by educators who genuinely care for him and a management team that prioritises both children and families brings us so much comfort and confidence. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making us continue to feel like part of the family. Thank you for always keeping our little boy at the centre of everything you do. We are truly grateful for the love, care, and support you provide every day. Choosing an early childhood service is never an easy decision, but the outstanding staff and exceptional management team have eased so much of the stress and worry. We feel incredibly fortunate to be part of the Little Stars community and are eternally grateful for everything you do.
