About Us
Our lovingly refurbished villa has been a cherished home for many little ones since 1981, providing a nurturing environment as they prepare for school and the wonders of the world.
Today, DayStar operates as a non-profit organization, guided by a board and an incorporated society dedicated to focusing on our children, our center, and our community.
The DayStar board consists of committed, community-minded members from Eden Community Church. They strive to uphold the legacy established by previous generations to support and serve local whānau, particularly tamariki.
With a diverse range of skills and interests, the board collaborates closely with the DayStar team, ensuring a wonderful environment for the tamariki. Additionally, the board is committed to assisting DayStar families during times of difficulty or need. Their motivation is to see DayStar thrive so that funds can be available to donate to other charities and organizations that positively impact local whānau and tamariki.
