Stella Bella Children's Centre, Fyshwick

In 2017, we opened the Stella Bella Children’s Centre, an exciting new concept for care and education of young children aged 0-5 years.

Situated in Maryborough Street Fyshwick, our centre is an all inclusive childcare facility offering mainstream childcare rooms, and a specialised respite and occasional care unit for chronically ill (non contagious) babies and children.

Our unique centre offers:

  • Long day care in the mainstream rooms and occasional and respite care in the special care unit.
  • A flexible and family centered approach to childcare encouraging parental input into the unique care requirements for each child.
  • Beautiful, Steiner influenced rooms and gardens to encourage self directed play, learning and adventures in a variety of nature inspired spaces.
  • A holistic approach to care and learning, including the natural and social environment, nutrition and physical health.
  • A multi disciplinary team of staff including early childhood educators and health professionals, with a focus on continual staff skills enhancement.
  • Wholesome, delicious meals and snacks provided by our in house cook, utilizing fresh produce picked from our own gardens.
  • Hospital grade standards in hygiene practices and cross infection prevention.
  • Opportunities for children with complex medical conditions to experience the joys of childhood in a safe, happy and nurturing environment and to provide their caregivers with much needed respite. Each child’s specific care needs will be taken into consideration with a care plan made in consultation with the parents or carers.
  • The opportunity for children with no health issues to benefit from our creative childcare structure and to learn about inclusion and diversity in their community.
  • Assistance in reducing isolation for families with a chronically ill child.
  • Extra care services, and opportunities for all of our children and families to participate in regular family events and to be part of a kind, caring and inclusive community.

Stella Bella Children’s Centre is a registered childcare centre and is bound by the The Education and Care Services National Regulations.

    Merry Christmas to you one and all🎄Our love and gratitude goes out today to everyone in our lovely Stella Bella community. You have helped us to make sure all of the babies and children in our programs had a little bit of extra sparkle this Christmas ⭐️🎅🏼 We were very lucky to receive a visit from the ‘real’ Santa and Mrs Claus at our children’s Christmas party in the park again this year to celebrate the end of a year that’s been extra challenging for all.❤️ All of the babies in the NICU and Special Care Nurseries at Calvary and TCH woke this morning to little filled stockings thanks to donations from the lovely folk at C3 church in Wanniassa. ❤️ Each child in our programs received a hand delivered gift thanks to the delivery elves at Blackshaw Real Estate and those who donated toys to Beyond Grappling Club this year. ❤️ We have given families in need a little hand with a voucher to help with the extra expenses this time of year can bring and provided some accomodation for those far from home with a sick little one this Christmas. ❤️ The amazingly generous Projects Assured team cooked up another giant batch of yummy meals for parents who are caring for babies in hospital over the holidays.Even during this joyous time, there are some families going through the saddest moments with their little ones and we have been able to reach out to them as well and help them to make some precious memories together 🧸We also sent some special cheer in the form of gingerbread houses to brighten Christmas for some of our bereaved families ❤️It’s a very special time of the year and no matter whether you are in hospital or at home, healthy or very unwell, we all want to find some joy in this day. Thank you to each and every one of you who have supported us this Christmas as you have enabled us to provide a bit of that joy to hundreds of families in our community ❤️Even though the gifts are very gratefully received by families, the thought and care behind the giving really does mean so much to the recipients so thank you for helping us to do that. We hope your day has been full of joy and good vibes too! ❤️🎄 ❤️ ... See MoreSee Less

    Generosity is big in this lovely town!Pilates with Dan has been quietly and kindly supporting Stella Bella over many years, with vouchers for our auctions and raffles and with special fundraising classes so we’d like to shout a big THANK YOU to them and their super lovely team. Every little bit goes a very long way with us and we are so grateful for the little and big businesses that think of us, and the families we support, all through the year ❤️• GENEROSITY •With only 4 days to go before our End-of-Year Mat-work class (a couple of tickets are still available!) we'll be spending a couple of days highlighting one of the big reasons WHY we do this class every year. The act of giving to each other. The class is a charity fund raiser for Stella Bella Little Stars Foundation and we're holding it at Companion House Community Hall where funds for hiring the hall go to help new Australians settle in to life here.We also organise a goody bag overflowing with generous gifts from local businesses - there is well over $50 worth of goodies in this year's bag!So tomorrow and Thursday we'll be highlighting these generous peeps - make sure you head over to their social media pages and give them a like. Its free and helps them out too. ... See MoreSee Less

    Would you like to support a local charity this Christmas with just one ‘like’?The lovely folk from Independent have been busy baking their little hearts out and they have come up with six yummy looking masterpieces! They are looking for a winner so whichever photo get the most likes, that team wins and the chosen charity from that team will receive a donation this Christmas.I don’t mean to be biased but actually, before I even saw which team chose Stella Bella, I already loved the little row of houses the most!So click the link below, browse through the photos and pick your favourite and hit ‘like’ on it.Even if it’s not our charity that you pick, we don’t mind at all, each charity that has been chosen by each team is a very special and much needed charity in Canberra and very deserving of a little extra support at this time of year.Thank you kindly to Independent and their clever teams for this Christmas treat ❤️🌲❤️ ...
