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.

Reviews for Starfish Early Learning Centre - Blackburn South

Lalit Tahiliani29 days ago

A distinguished experience that truly amazed us. What a journey it has been! Our little boy didn't settle in another centre during 2022 as there were several issues so we moved him. Then in his next ELC he somewhat settled okay but we eventually observed negligible progress. Finally when he made it to Starfish, he settled in and then we began to observe various positives that we hadn't encountered before. Needless to say, with the level of professionalism and expertise of staff combined with their tenderness of approach and personalities, our little one continues to positively experience key social skills which teaches him to build on relationships and interactions - all invaluable things that children will benefit from in their lifetime. Starfish continually drives outcomes with measured success.
