My son is now off to school and I am so glad that he got to go to Rising Stars. At Rising Stars he made lots of meaningful friendships, was free to learn through play and had incredible support from the educators. The staff are so lovey and the energy in the centre is really positive. If you have a busy bee of a child then this is the perfect place as there’s tonnes of room to run and play in, regardless of the weather. The facilities are safe and there is lots of parking, there is also a van that can pick up and drop off your kids. I personally never used the van services but think it’s great for those who need it. Definitely recommend Rising Stars!

My 2-year old son Raphael enjoyed going to Rising Stars Pre-school everyday. He was excited to be picked up the Rising Stars van in the morning and have a day full of fun in the sports centre. We would highly recommend Rising Stars Pre-school as they are not just affordable (free 20 hrs ECE for children 2 yrs and up), they also promote active play to enhance learning. The kaiako are also very approachable and friendly.

Our family has spent 6 years within Rising Stars with 3 of our children. We have absolutely loved the care, guidance and sporting experience our children have acquired during their time attending. The great facilities, including the sports court and outdoor area have provided our children with a safe space to create life lasting memories and skills. The staff are friendly and approachable and our girls in particular have created strong relationships with both the staff and other children that attend. It’s bittersweet to us that our time and Rising Stars have come to an end for now, and we will miss seeing everyone’s happy faces every day! Our family couldn’t recommend Rising Stars enough, we have so much appreciation for everyone within the Rising stars staff and hope the very best for everyone. We will be back when our next baby turns two!
