My Stars Early Learning

Where every child is known, not numbered.

From the welcoming smile of our educators to the calming, natural environment inside our purpose-built rooms — you'll feel right at home at My Stars. Come and experience a place families fall in love with, inspiring their little ones.

My Stars Early Learning Centres

We're a family-owned early learning centre where children are known, not numbered. When you walk through our doors, you'll see calm, welcoming rooms, educators who genuinely know each child's story, and learning that feels natural, playful and purposeful.

We care for children from 3 months to school age — partnering with families through every stage, from settling those first days to preparing little ones for big school. Two centres, same mother-and-daughter team since 2012.

Discovery, creativity and growth — the everyday at My Stars

Our Philosophy

Childhood is a journey of discovery, creativity and growth.

Every child deserves a place where they are seen, celebrated and empowered to reach their full potential. Our programs are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework 2.0 (EYLF), VEYLDF and MTOP — and shaped daily by play, relationships, routine and intentional teaching.

  • B

    Belonging

    Every child and family is part of our inclusive community.

  • R

    Respect

    We practise mutual respect in all relationships and interactions.

  • I

    Individuality

    We celebrate diversity and the unique potential of each child and our service.

  • G

    Growth

    We foster an environment that promotes curiosity and continuous development.

  • H

    Helpfulness

    We encourage a sustainable mission to help and look after our land.

  • T

    Togetherness

    Building trusting partnerships with families and colleagues is essential to us.

Happy, inquisitive minds develop at My Stars.

Six things we promise every child who walks through our door — the things parents tell us they were looking for, and couldn't quite name, until they found us.

  • Welcoming

    Calm, sun-lit rooms that feel like an extension of home — not a clinical centre.

  • Qualified

    Registered Early Childhood Teachers across our rooms — not only in the kinder program.

  • Experienced

    Family-owned since 2012. Most of our educators have been with us for 4+ years.

  • Learning through play

    Programs guided by EYLF 2.0, VEYLDF and MTOP — play-based, intentional, child-led.

  • Education

    Funded 3-Year-Old and 4-Year-Old Kinder included in our long-day program.

  • Excellence

    Exceeding NQS at our Berwick centre. Zero tolerance for child abuse. Child Safe Standards upheld.

    My son has been attending My Stars (Berwick) since he was just 9 months old, and now at 15 months, he literally walks in without even saying goodbye – as heartbreaking as that may sound to us mums, it's a true testament to the loving and nurturing environment the team has created. From Tenika, Sachi and Kesh in the White Room, to Nuwanthi in the hallway, every single person at My Stars has gone above and beyond to make both my son and I feel welcomed, safe and loved. And of course, Pina and Sim – words can't express how grateful I am for the centre you've built.

    The teachers are attentive yet relaxing enough to give the kids some freedom. Also, attendance options are quite flexible. Our son has been enjoying his time attending the centre. Would recommend.

    Both my children attend My Stars. I would not be able to find a better care for my kids. It's a family owned and loved business where all other Day Cares are run on a franchise basis. The staff and owners are so warm and caring, my daughter still wants to go there everyday after her kindergarten.

    My two children have been attending this amazing childcare for the last 7 years. It has proven to be the most educating, loving, family friendly childcare for my babies to grow. Pina and Sim are incredible! No words can describe the appreciation I have for the care and dedication in helping educate my children.
