Daystar Early Learning Centre

“Daystar is the kind of place where children are truly seen and supported for who they are. They’re encouraged to express themselves through creative play, guided with genuine care, and surrounded by a culture that celebrates diversity and curiosity. My 3-year-old currently attends Daystar, and my now 5-year-old recently transitioned to primary school after spending wonderful years there. Both of them have thrived — they’re confident, kind, and bright little humans who genuinely love learning. The teachers go above and beyond to make each child feel special and included. You can tell how much heart they put into everything, from daily routines to cultural events. We’re so grateful to be part of the Daystar whānau.”

“We’re truly grateful for the amazing team at Daystar Childcare. Their teamwork and well-structured approach to each child’s learning goals are outstanding. The transformation we’ve seen in our único hijo has been just amazing — from confidence to curiosity and kindness, everything has grown beautifully. You can really feel that every teacher and staff member works together with care and purpose. Highly recommended for any parent looking for a nurturing and goal-driven environment!”

“My daughter attended Daystar for two years, and she absolutely loved it! The teachers are so kind and caring, creating a warm and joyful environment where she always felt comfortable to be herself. The Morning Discoveries sessions were a wonderful way for her to learn more about New Zealand’s culture and environment. She loved singing Māori songs, dancing, and joining cooking activities all of which helped her develop new skills and confidence. She also discovered her passion for caring for younger children. Daystar’s faith based approach had a beautiful impact on her she still prays the way she learned there. The team truly understands the needs of each family and provides incredible support. The centre is always clean, well organised , and has a lovely structure that makes it feel safe and welcoming. She truly misses her friends and teachers. We’re so grateful for all the love, learning, and happy memories she had at Daystar. Highly recommend this amazing centre!”

“Enrolling our daughter into Daystar was the best decision we have made. For the past three years the kaiako have poured love, kindness and wisdom into our child and have enabled her light to shine bright. As parents we felt comfortable knowing our child was left in good hands and we were always kept informed of her progress via photos, learning stories and discovery lessons. Thank you once again Daystar”

“My friend recommended Daystar as their daughter was already attending and they only had positive things to say. This was the best decision my husband and myself made. We’ve tried two other daycares prior to Daystar and the difference is night and day. Daystar has the warmest and loveliest environment that you can ask for. The teachers are full of experience and are all very lovely with the little ones, whether it is ranging from growth and development or assisting with personal tasks (nappy training, nap times, medication etc) they are very supportive and communicative when it comes to doing what’s best for the little ones. We always felt safe leaving our boys in their hands. Both our boys, enjoyed their time greatly and have developed critical skills required for their next stage in schooling. The environment is clean, tidy and comfy with a garden like backyard for outdoor play and exploration. Daystar is also very culturally diverse and reflective of New Zealand culture, providing a wide variety of experiences to different cultural events and learning about their celebrations. Our youngest son will be graduating soon and we will surely miss our time here at the Daystar family as we could always count on the consistent excellent support throughout the years. We highly recommend Daystar if you are looking for quality childcare.”
