Stella Bella Children's Centre 7 Maryborough Street, Fyshwick, Australian Capital Territory 2609

Welcome to Stella Bella Children's Centre, a unique and nurturing establishment located at Fyshwick, Maryborough Street, 7 in Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and school, we are dedicated to providing a safe and happy environment for children to learn, play, and grow.

At Stella Bella Children's Centre, we follow the philosophies of Rudolph Steiner to guide our care model. Our early childhood approach focuses on creating a nurturing atmosphere that involves natural play materials, vegetable gardens, and even chickens for the children to care for and collect eggs for baking. Through activities such as cooking, painting, gardening, and using tools, young children are encouraged to explore their environment, learn sharing and cooperation, and develop social skills. We believe in giving children the time to enjoy their childhood and build a strong foundation before formal academic learning begins.

We offer mainstream rooms as well as occasional and respite care in our special care unit. Our institution upholds hospital-grade standards in hygiene practices and cross-infection prevention to ensure the well-being of all children in our care.

At Stella Bella Children's Centre, we value parental input and encourage parents to actively participate in their child's unique care requirements. We work closely with parents and carers to create individualized care plans that cater to each child's specific needs.

Our Steiner influenced rooms and gardens are designed to inspire self-directed play, learning, and adventures in a variety of nature-inspired spaces. We believe in promoting inclusion and diversity, and children without health issues can also benefit from our creative childcare structure while learning about the importance of inclusivity in their community.

We understand the challenges faced by families with a chronically ill child and strive to reduce their isolation by providing assistance and support. Our dedicated team consists of early childhood educators and health professionals who continuously enhance their skills to ensure the best care for all children.

At Stella Bella Children's Centre, we believe in building a kind, caring, and inclusive community. We provide opportunities for all our children and families to participate in regular family events, fostering a sense of belonging and togetherness.

Our in-house cook prepares wholesome and delicious meals and snacks, utilizing fresh produce picked from our own gardens. We prioritize the nutritional needs of our children, ensuring they receive balanced and nourishing meals.

You can make a difference by donating to Stella Bella Children's Centre. Your support allows us to continue providing a safe and nurturing environment for children and offering assistance to families in need.

Lastly, we would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the land on which we conduct our business: The Aboriginal and Torres Strait nations of Australia. We recognize and honor the Elders, both past and present, as the traditional custodians of knowledge for this place.

Join us at Stella Bella Children's Centre and experience the joys of childhood in a safe, happy, and nurturing environment.
