Get To Know Us

Centre philosophy

Centre philosophy

In Raising Stars, we committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment that acknowledges and celebrates the cultural heritage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and we are dedicated to embedding Aboriginal perspectives into our daily practices and educational programs.

We believe that children learn through play, to become confident and involved learners. We believe that the children’s early years are the most significant for their development.

We believe for children to develop to their full potential they need to feel they belong by feeling loved, nurtured and cared for and feeling accepted for who they are.

We believe that Educators need to work in partnership with families as they are their primary educators to provide professional and high-quality care and education for young children.

We believe in the significance of children’s many belongings; first through their relationship and learning with families, which are their first and most important educators. All educators within the centre need to work together to help the children to develop to their full potential.

We believe that children’s learning is meaningful here now and as a foundation for their lives in the future.

We believe children should be happy, active and involved learners.

The early learning centre must provide an environment that is warm, secure, challenging, stimulating and caring to promote children’s independence, agency, learning growth, development, individuality, creativity, building on self-esteem and confidence.

We believe all children are unique individuals and therefore should all be treated with respect and equality.

We believe in encouraging the children’s respect and appreciation for the outdoor environment and living and non-living things.

We believe in providing programs that reflect on the children’s interests and incorporate intentional teaching practices with a child-centred approach.

We believe that all children should be given equally opportunities regardless of their gender, ability, culture or economical background.

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

Our curriculum is designed to incorporate a STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach, providing a well-rounded educational experience for the children. In addition to this, we offer weekly Chinese language classes and physical activities, such as children's yoga, to support both cognitive and physical development.

We also celebrate major holidays from various cultures throughout the year, helping children learn about and appreciate diversity. Each week features a different theme, such as "Ocean Creatures Week" or "Dental Health Week," to keep the learning dynamic and engaging. These themed weeks allow the children to explore various topics in depth, making their learning experience both educational and fun.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

We maintain communication with parents through regular updates on the Xplor app, where we provide real-time information on the child’s meals, diaper changes, and any minor incidents. Every day, we share a detailed report called 'Our Day,' which describes the activities of the day and includes photos for the parents. Additionally, during drop-off and pick-up times, we can have brief conversations about the child’s day. If there are any significant concerns, we will arrange a meeting with the parents for more in-depth discussions.

I can’t say enough good things about this childcare! My baby recently started attending one day a week (after going to another daycare three days a week), and the difference is like night and day. From the very first day, I noticed how happy she was—smiling, giggling, and genuinely enjoying her time there. Even when she had a runny nose, we picked her up completely clean—no dirt or mess around her face, which shows how attentive and caring the staff are. What amazed me most is that she doesn’t even want to leave at pickup—she wants to stay and keep playing, and even tries to get me to play with her there! I drive 30 minutes each way just to bring her here, and it’s 100% worth it. This is truly a special place, and I’m so grateful we found it. Highly recommend to any parent looking for high-quality childcare with heart. ❤️

Such a lovely childcare which deserves all the praises. All the educators are so caring and enjoying spending time with children. My son was having a lot of good time there, he’s learning a lot of new skills everyday. Special thanks to Candy, the most reliable person to leave your baby with.
