Story

This remote majestic setting makes us unique in being able to provide our children with teaching and learning experiences linked to a strong community and family spirit.
Our service exists to offer high quality teaching and inspiring learning experiences to Fiordland’s tamariki and whanau.
We believe in challenging and extending children’s personal and physical boundaries through strategies of thinking and reasoning.
Children are given the opportunity to participate in activities regardless of gender, age, ethnicity or background.
We acknowledge and respect our bi-cultural heritage and incorporate Te Reo and Tikanga Máori into our everyday practise.

Southern Stars Early Learning Centre is a non-profit organisation run by a
volunteer Management Committee who are committed to ensuring the
Community’s early learning requirements are met.
This Centre is fully licensed by the Ministry of Education.
