Stella Maris Catholic Early Childhood Centre is available to all families seeking Christian-based values for their precious tamariki. We recognise that every child is an individual, therefore each child will be encouraged to develop at their own pace and according to their own capabilities. Each child is unique with God-given potential, and alongside parents we will help discover the child's gifts and develop them.
