Well-rounded, kind and curious learners
We aim to develop well-rounded, socially responsible, lifelong learners in every child, through hands-on learning and play.
We are more than a daycare. Trained Aunties lead planned, purposeful play and learning with stimulating materials and modern teaching practice. Children leave us with the confidence and skills to keep succeeding, and with good character built on sound moral values.

Grandma Lynda
Never too late to learn.
After retiring as CEO of Hollard Insurance, Lynda went back to the classroom herself, first earning a diploma with distinction, then a first-class Bachelor of Education in Early Grade in April 2026. Her own love of learning is the example she sets for every child.
Home Away From Home
Proactive, resourceful and full of love.
Our Aunties know every child by name and by personality. Their enthusiasm is the heart of Early Starters, and it is why so many families describe us as a home away from home.
Come and see us in action
The best way to get to know Early Starters is to visit. Call or WhatsApp us to arrange a tour of the school and meet the Aunties.
