We’ve developed our own unique curriculum to ensure your child learns & develops holistically; it’s called the Shine Advantage™ program. We know learning letters and numbers is important, but it’s only one small part of how they will grow and develop as a person. Our curriculum consists of five key elements:
Smart Start 
Inspired 
Unite 
Fit 
Crew We are happy and honoured to share some of the many testimonials from the hundreds of happy parents of children enrolled at Rise & Shine Kindergarten.
We are incredibly fortunate that Zoe is able to attend Rise & Shine. From the moment she enters the door I have a sense of security knowing she is being looked after by such friendly, nurturing, caring educators. The genuine affection and enthusiasm the staff show the children at the centre truly makes Rise and Shine a child’s “home away from home”. The cleanliness and educational facilities are amazing and are moving in line with today’s technology.
We would like to thank the staff at Rise and Shine Kindergarten for their professionalism. Even though my daughter has just started in the Centre, she fell in love with the place the moment she stepped in. We know that our daughter is well taken care of in the Centre. Each day she comes home with a new story to tell us and you can see the excitement in her eyes. We would highly recommend Rise & Shine Kindergarten and we know our daughter definitely enjoys her days there!
