We understand the importance of early childhood education and the impact it has on a child's future. That's why we have designed our programs to be age-appropriate, engaging, and tailored to meet the unique needs and interests of each child. From our infants and toddlers to our preschoolers, every child receives individualized attention and support to ensure their holistic development.
Our curriculum is designed to foster a love for learning by incorporating play-based and inquiry-based approaches. Through hands-on experiences, children are encouraged to explore their natural curiosity, develop problem-solving skills, and build a strong foundation for future learning.
At Starfish Early Learning Centre, we also prioritize the well-being and health of our children. We provide nutritious meals and snacks that are prepared on-site, ensuring that our little ones receive the fuel they need to grow and thrive. Our outdoor play areas are designed to promote physical activity and a connection with nature, allowing children to engage in active play and develop their gross motor skills.
Parents are an integral part of our community, and we value open communication and collaboration. We provide regular updates on your child's progress and offer opportunities for parent-teacher meetings to discuss your child's development and address any concerns.
Choosing the right early learning centre for your child is an important decision, and at Starfish Early Learning Centre - Blackburn, we strive to create an environment where your child can flourish. Join us on this exciting journey of discovery and growth by enrolling your child today.

Reviews
"James has been attending Starfish Early Learning Centre for 3 years now and during this time I have watched him grow emotionally, academically and as an individual who is now confident within himself and looking forward to starting school next year. I put this down to the innovative and engaging programs, quality educators and wonderful centre leadership by Cathy who is always there to greet us with a ready smile and winning attitude each and every day as we step through the door. Starfish will always have a special place in my heart for giving James the start I wanted to prepare him for school and early life in general. Well done to the team at Starfish for playing such an instrumental part in helping to shape his early years in such a positive and engaging way."
"Our child has been with starfish for almost a year now and I have to say that our experience at starfish is very pleasant. The educators are caring, accommodating to our child's needs and most of all they maintain a good communication with parents. Strongly recommend this centre."
"Our son jumped into Cathy's arms on our initial walk through and just like that he had chosen where he wanted to be. We have been so happy with the love and care that every Educator has shown our son but especially those that work in the Guppies room. I cannot recommend highly enough."
"This centre is fantastic. Both our children attend here with our eldest wrapping up at the end of the year and our youngest still with a few more years before he also starts school. We've never had the need to look elsewhere and loved the care and sense of community from the first day we started. The educators are all lovely and so caring and our children love them so much. The centre is run well, we highly recommend!!"
"My daughter joined Starfish when she was 6 weeks old. Being a first time mum and new to child care I was very apprehensive cautious about centres. I viewed over ten centres but none of them came close to Starfish. Tonii and the team were so helpful and I felt that the level of service and detail was excellent - they were an integral part of me being able to return to work full time and maintain my career without ever having to worry about the level of care and education my daughter was receiving. After one of their sites was sold we remained on however it became apparent very quickly that the new management were a far cry from the high level of professionalism we had become accustomed to - within 9 months we returned to Starfish, willing to travel a bit out of our way to ensure education, cleanliness, care and attention to detail weren't compromised. The communication from educators is clear and positive, and offeted daily. Any issue is raised swiftly, with regular feedback and updates on our child offered (they offer funny anecdotes and observations, not just updates when there is an incident) and it is always timely, never days later or without context/relevance. Management give regular and informative communication and are always pro-active. A strong sense of community is encouraged, with fundraising and charity days supported as well as cultural diversity explored and promoted. My daughter graduated Kinder this week and the Starfish team have played a massive role in shaping her character and emotional well-being, and her intelligence. We are sad to leave this chapter of our lives behind and will miss the roles the members of the team have played in our lives over the past five years. They have moved from being service providers to a second family. The team are second to none and I couldn't recommend the centres more highly."
