Starfish Early Learning Centre - Clayton South Centre overview
Welcome to our center, where we place high value on respecting and valuing all families, educators, and children. At our center, we aim to create an environment that promotes Belonging, Being, and Becoming. One unique feature of our Clayton location is the spaciousness provided by rooms spread out over two storeys. This allows for ample space for play and quiet time, ensuring that children have a comfortable and engaging learning environment. In our Clayton South center, we focus on 'Growing Up Green,' as children have the opportunity to work alongside our educators to grow their own vegetables. This hands-on experience teaches them responsibility and fosters respect for the environment, instilling valuable life skills.
Our Clayton South center also boasts a premium playground that is sure to captivate your child's imagination. Designed to be safe, stimulating, and spacious, it offers plenty of room for play and exploration. With large, shady trees, the playground remains cool even on warmer days. At our center, we believe in giving children the freedom to explore, discover, make connections, and grow.
Our conveniently located center serves families from Heatherton, Oakleigh South, Mulgrave, and Moorabbin. Our qualified team is ready to support children aged from six weeks to kindergarten, providing a nurturing and educational environment for their early years. Come and join us at our center, where your child can thrive, learn, and develop in a caring and inclusive setting.

Centre Reviews

After researching and touring nearly 10 childcare centres in the area, I chose Starfish ELC in Clayton South—and three years on, I’m still incredibly happy with that decision. What stood out from the start was their genuine, family-based mindset. The educators treat my two toddlers with the same care and warmth they would give their own children. Many of the staff have been with the centre for years, which speaks volumes about the culture and stability here. That consistency has made a real difference in helping my kids feel safe, nurtured, and excited to go each day. The management team is equally impressive—approachable, accommodating, and always open to feedback or discussion. I truly feel like we’re part of a community, not just clients. I couldn’t recommend Starfish more highly to any parent looking for a centre where children are not just cared for, but genuinely loved. Read more
