What Officer families look for
Officer has some local childcare options but fewer than more established suburbs. Families with infants in particular often find that centres in Berwick — with their longer operating history and more stable educator teams — better suit their needs. My Stars Berwick has operated since 2012 with consistent staffing across all age groups from 3 months to school age.
The drive from Officer to My Stars Berwick takes approximately 13 minutes along the Princes Highway toward Berwick town centre. For families commuting north toward the Monash Freeway, this route is typically on the way.

Why families drive to My Stars
My Stars is owned and run by Pina and Sim — a mother and daughter who started in early childhood because they wanted a centre they would send their own children to. Not a franchise, not a corporate group. The same people who hired the educators and designed the rooms are on the floor every morning.
