About Us
About Piccole Stelle Childcare
“Piccole Stelle” means “Little Stars” in Italian—and we believe every little star deserves the opportunity to shine.
Piccole Stelle Childcare is a licensed In-Home Multi-Age Childcare located in Mission, BC. We care for children from birth to five years old in a warm, welcoming and nurturing home environment.
Our program combines the comfort and personal attention of home-based care with meaningful, play-based learning experiences. Children are encouraged to explore, create, communicate, develop friendships and build confidence at their own pace.
We strive to create a positive environment where children feel secure, respected and excited to learn.
Meet Your Educator
Hi, I’m Pooja!
I am the owner and educator at Piccole Stelle Childcare and a qualified Early Childhood Educator.
Working with young children is something I genuinely value and enjoy. I believe every child has a unique personality, way of learning and pace of development. My role is to understand and support those individual qualities while providing a caring environment where children can feel comfortable being themselves.
My goal is to help every child feel safe, confident, valued and happy. Through play, exploration and everyday experiences, I support children as they develop new skills, express their ideas and become more independent.
I speak English, Punjabi, Hindi and Italian. This multilingual background helps me communicate with families from different cultures and create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcomed. I look forward to meeting your family and welcoming your little star to Piccole Stelle Childcare!
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide safe, nurturing, and engaging home-based childcare where every child feels welcomed, valued, and supported.
Through play-based learning, caring relationships, and meaningful everyday experiences, we encourage children to build confidence, independence, creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Our Childcare Philosophy
We believe children learn best when they feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore. Play is at the heart of our program, helping children develop communication, creativity, problem-solving, and an understanding of the world around them.
Activities are thoughtfully planned around each child’s age, interests, abilities, and developmental needs, allowing them to learn at their own pace through gentle guidance, encouragement, and meaningful experiences.

Learning Through Play
We use hands-on activities and open-ended play to encourage creativity, curiosity, communication and problem-solving.
