My Stars serves families across the Casey region — Clyde North, Officer, Harkaway and beyond

The outer growth corridor of Melbourne's south-east — Clyde North, Officer, Officer South, Harkaway, Beaconsfield and Pakenham — has some of Australia's fastest population growth. Young families are the dominant demographic, and quality childcare is in genuinely high demand. My Stars Berwick is located at the northern end of this corridor, making it an accessible option for families whose commute takes them northward — and a quality alternative for those who simply want the best available care for their children.

Clyde North families

Clyde North is one of Melbourne's fastest-growing suburbs and has a rapidly expanding young family population. The drive from Clyde North to Berwick typically takes 20–30 minutes, usually via Monash Freeway or Clyde Road into the Berwick town centre. For many Clyde North families, the commute to work runs through or past Berwick — making My Stars a genuinely convenient drop-off point rather than a detour. Families choosing My Stars from Clyde North consistently cite the quality of the program, educator consistency and chef-made meals as the deciding factors.

Officer and Officer South

Officer and Officer South are mid-corridor suburbs that sit approximately 15–20 minutes from Berwick via the Princes Highway. The officer corridor has seen significant housing development in recent years, with many young families making it their first home. Local childcare supply has grown but the quality of available options varies — families who research NQS ratings carefully often end up enquiring at My Stars Berwick as a result.

Harkaway and Beaconsfield

Harkaway and Beaconsfield are both immediately adjacent to Berwick — many families from these areas consider My Stars as effectively their local centre. The semi-rural character of Harkaway in particular attracts families who value quality and stability over convenience, and our family-owned, long-established culture tends to resonate. Beaconsfield families often find My Stars Berwick the most accessible quality option when factoring in the morning commute route.

Pakenham and Emerald

Pakenham families considering My Stars Berwick are typically doing so for the quality differential — the commute (20–30 minutes via Princes Highway) is longer, but for families who prioritise a quality NQS-rated centre with chef meals, consistent educators and daily OWNA updates, the journey becomes part of the routine. Emerald families occasionally enquire too, particularly for kinder-age children in the Orange Room where the Free Kinder program can make the economics work very favourably.

What the Casey corridor families tell us

After years of welcoming families from across the Casey LGA, the consistent theme we hear is this: the families who drive a little further for My Stars are glad they did. The quality of the program, the consistency of the educators, the fact that their child is genuinely known — these things matter more than drive time once children are settled. It usually takes one tour for families from Officer, Clyde North or Harkaway to understand why the extra minutes are worth it.
