FAQs
We are committed to providing opportunities of play for children to explore, investigate, discover, hypothesise, make connections, imagine, create and grow. We will endeavour to create an environment that will provoke learning and allow for possibilities. Our numerous Melbourne Early Learning Centres offer your child a safe and dynamic environment where they can explore, investigate, connect, imagine, create and grow. Starfish Early Learning Centres provide quality and stimulating education and care for children aged six-weeks to kindergarten.
Our Early Learning Centres
Starfish Early Learning Centres are purpose built and architecturally designed to enhance the natural play spaces available. Our facilities consist of 6 different rooms: 2 nurseries, 2 toddlers and 2 kindergarten rooms (3 & 4 year old funded kindergarten). Each room is equipped with furniture that is fit for purpose, age appropriate and designed to enhance and promote a child’s learning experience.
Our Early-Learning Curriculum
We believe that all children are unique individuals who are coming from families with different cultural backgrounds, behaviours, views and levels of developmental needs. We strive to provide a curriculum that provides each child with multiple learning opportunities through play-based learning such as sensory experiences, construction, music and movement, art expressions, projects and many more.

The Victorian Government provides funding to support children to access a kindergarten program in the year before they start school. The funding is a contribution toward meeting the cost of the kindergarten program and are based on the number of children enrolled in the program at the Starfish Early Learning Centre. Each child is only eligible to attend only one funded kindergarten for a single year.
Our kindergarten teachers are Bachelor Qualified in Early Childhood Education, as approved by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
Kindergarten attendance is not compulsory.
Your child is eligible for a funded year of kindergarten if they are 4 by 30 April of that year. The Victorian government provides funding for all eligible children to access a kindergarten program in the year before school entry.
Places are limited to the room capacity of each centre, so please contact your respective Centre Director for availability.
