About Little Stars Educare

Little Stars Educare is a licensed early childhood centre in Enderley, Hamilton, caring for tamariki from 0 to 6 years — from the very first months right through to the year they head off to school. We’ve been part of the local community since 2019, and in that time we’ve built our reputation on one simple thing: giving children a warm, safe place to learn and play while their parents get on with their day knowing they’re in good hands.

Who we are

Our programme follows Te Whāriki, New Zealand's early childhood curriculum, with a strong focus on play-based learning. Children learn by doing—building, painting, climbing, asking questions, making friends, and figuring things out for themselves. We weave te reo Māori and tikanga into everyday routines because a bicultural foundation is part of growing up in Aotearoa. Each child has a primary teacher who tracks their progress, shares regular updates with whānau, and makes sure transitions feel steady rather than jarring.
