Star Educare - your first thought. " Wow", what a name. Your child is a star and your star's education is cared for. Ain't it lovely to send your little star to a daycare that actually cares for your child’s education. If this is your thought, then why make a second choice - Star Educare is the place for your child - a beautiful second home. The first impression of the daycare is its hygienic environment. When I first visited this daycare, I ensured to be satisfied with hygiene. With my observation, I found the rooms were tidy, kid's bottles, changing room, sleeping room, play area was neat and clean. The most beautiful thing I love till now is that the kids are also kept clean, and you would not find a child with any unhygienic appearance. Both the exterior and interior of the daycare is clean and well maintained. This gave me that feeling - Yes, it's the right place with the right cleanliness that I need for my child. The Centre Manager and teachers are professionally qualified, proactive, informative, health pro and are super friendly. Whenever I approach them, that welcoming feeling is always present. I would love to say that we should appreciate the arduous work the teachers do - they are like second moms to your child for the love, warmth, and safety a child needs. They ensure your child has healthy meals, plays and sleeps on time. Teachers become your child's nurse when they are bit down or slightly unwell and when it comes to giving the best education to your child, they come into play as teachers. I must say the teachers at Star Educare are truly inspiring and play a vital role in the everyday upbringing of your little star. Star Educare is a diverse daycare which welcomes people from all cultures and at the same time hosting diverse cultural activities/ functions to culturally motivate and flourish your child. I have witnessed a variety of functions such as Christmas, Holi, Waitangi Day, Easter, Eid, Baisakhi, ANZAC day and yet to see more. It is beautiful to see the kids dress up, the creative art/ decorations been done on each event and not forgetting the most important cultural aspect, that is, treating with delicious refreshments. I have been sending my son to this daycare since he was 9 months and his almost 15 months plus now. Within these months, I have observed immense confidence, growth, and development in him. He is more social, can speak more words, relate to things taught in school, such as colouring activities and songs to name a few. He can do more gestures to what he had been doing. I have even observed a lot of independence on eating habits, he knows table manners, where to throw rubbish and impressive to see he has learnt to put hands on his mouth when coughing. Each morning, my son gets so excited to go to school, that he wakes on time and is prepared to leave for school prior to me. I must applause the teachers and Star Educare for the love, care, support, and enrichment given to my child. With these words, I wish the teachers and Star Educare abundance of success and I will highly recommend this daycare to any parent - Choose Star Educare for the best of your little star's education care.

Leaving our baby at childcare for the first time when Pahi was just 9 months old was one of the most emotional and difficult decisions for us as parents. Like many anxious parents, we were worried and unsure in the beginning. But from the very first day, the love, patience, and reassurance shown by the teachers gave us comfort and trust that our child was in safe hands. Over time, this centre became more than just a childcare for us — it became a second home for Pahi and a place where we felt truly supported as parents. The warmth, care, and genuine attention the team gives each child is something we will always be grateful for. We also deeply appreciate the wonderful events and activities organised for families, which made us feel included and connected as part of a caring community. Thank you for nurturing Pahi with so much kindness and love during such an important stage of life. Your support meant everything to us. With heartfelt gratitude, Dheeraj, Apoorva, and Pahi

Our family is so grateful to you and the Star Educare Team for making every occasion so special . Your efforts are highly commendable whether it is decorations, activities with kids, preparing food (Azleen's food is yummiest) , serving food, buying tokens of love , making cards and what not. So amazing to see the passion of the Star Educare team, their dedication and readiness to act upon every little feedback they receive. I have never experienced such homely centre before where your children are treated with so much love and affection and cared for. Parents too are made feel valued. Can't express how amazed we were today to see your preparations. Hats off to you🙏❤️👏👏👏👏
