About Starfish Early Learning Centre - Blackburn South

At The Starfish Centre, we prioritize the values of Belonging, Being, and Becoming for our diverse community of families, educators, and children. Since its establishment in 2009, our centre has developed a strong reputation with experienced educators and a rich history. We are proud to have multiple generations of families contribute to our culture, creating a nurturing and inclusive environment.

One of the unique aspects of our centre is the Veggie Patch Virtues program. Children at our Blackburn South location have the opportunity to work alongside our educators, participating in the maintenance and care of our thriving veggie patch. This program teaches children important values like responsibility and instills in them a respect for the environment. Located amidst the scenic beauty of nature reserves, our centre offers regular walking excursions for children to explore and connect with the natural world. These excursions provide valuable opportunities for outdoor learning and help promote an appreciation for the environment.

At The Starfish Centre, we strive to create an environment that fosters a sense of belonging, encourages individual growth, and nurtures a love for nature. We welcome families from all backgrounds and are dedicated to providing exceptional care and education for every child in our community.

Nigel Tauro7 days ago

Fantastic place, our daughter has been here for 2 years now, in 2 different rooms (1-2y and 2-3y). For both rooms/years, the staff were fantastic. They have a very good balance between caring and teaching. They have exhibitions every now and then for parents to see what kids have been doing. They also have very detailed daily and weekly updates, with specifics about your child. Staff are always available to chat and discuss your child, and are very supportive of your child’s individual journey. Daughter loves it and looks forward to going there. Centre leadership is fantastic, led by Cathy. It’s a strong community feel, where everyone knows each other. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would.
