A decade of kindergarten experience speaks volumes about a deep understanding of early childhood development. In those formative years, having seasoned professionals who understand not just the educational basics but also the emotional and social aspects of young children is invaluable.
Qualified Kindergarten Teachers
Our kindergarten teachers have obtained their bachelor’s degree in early childhood education and lead an educational program that draws from a range of different philosophies and is approved by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
The Three Teachers
Our Kindergarten embraces the Reggio Emilia philosophy, recognising parents, educators, and the environment as partners in a child’s learning journey. Families and staff collaborate to support each child’s growth, with educators refining their practice through dedicated planning.
Why Choose a Starfish Kindergarten?
Selecting a Starfish kindergarten offers children an engaging, respectful, and enriching environment that celebrates curiosity and nurtures a lifelong love for learning. This approach aligns with children’s natural development and curiosity, setting a strong foundation for their future learning experiences.
I’ve been taking my daughter to Starfish in Clayton for about 2 years. This Childcare Centre is more like a home to the children. All educators and staff are professional, caring and kind and love kids like their own.

“Our role is to create a space where children, unburdened by the distractions of screens, can discover themselves deeply and fully. In a world free from digital noise, they climb their own mountains, developing a stronger sense of self and a curiosity that knows no bounds."
