About Us

We believe every child is Unique, Special and Precious.

Family-owned since 2012, My Stars is a home-away-from-home for children from 3 months to school age — deliberately not a corporate franchise, but a hands-on, mother-and-daughter-led service prioritising quality, calm and intentional learning.

Our Story

A mother. A daughter. One quiet belief.

My Stars was founded by a mother and daughter who believed early learning should feel like a home, not a system — where every child is seen, supported and celebrated as an individual.

Pina and Sim Rayat — founders of My Stars

Pina & Sim Rayat · Founders

Pina has been working in early childhood since 2008. Her journey began with her own children, inspiring her to create a centre where every child feels nurtured and valued.

Sim joined as 2IC and Educational Leader after qualifying as an early-childhood and primary teacher in 2015. She oversees the curriculum, daily operations and program planning across rooms.

Together, Pina and Sim are actively involved in day-to-day practice — making My Stars more than a childcare service. We’re a community-focused environment where children are supported, encouraged and celebrated.
