Privately-Owned And Philosophy-Based Child Care For Children From 6 Weeks to 5 Years Old
Starfish is committed to providing the best possible environments for your child to learn and develop. Through a mix of indoor and outdoor play, incursions and other experiences, your child will receive the opportunities and nurturing required to reach their full potential.
Each Starfish Centre has between 5 and 7 learning spaces with easy access to outdoor areas. Each room has access to children’s bathrooms, nappy change benches, storeroom and outdoor areas.
Starfish children are provided with fresh and nutritious meals, prepared daily by our qualified chefs in our commercial kitchens. We accommodate children’s allergies and dietary restrictions and all Starfish centres are nut and egg aware.
We believe children are strong, competent, creative and active learners. Each child is treated as a unique individual with a wide range of needs, learning styles, capabilities, ideas, interest and culture.
We strive to provide a play-based curriculum that encourages cognitive development. Learning opportunities we provide include sensory experiences, construction, music and movement, art, and so much more.
Our funded kindergarten program draws on multiple highly-regarded childcare philosophies, combining them with incursions by experts in fields such as physical education, animals, dance, and indigenous culture.
