We’ve created a holistic, play-based early-learning curriculum designed to support your child’s whole development academically, socially, emotionally, and creatively. Known across the sector for our award-winning STEM program, we lead the way in innovative early childhood education.
Our approach is called the Shine Advantage™ curriculum, a research-driven program that goes beyond teaching letters and numbers. While early literacy and numeracy are essential, true school readiness is built through problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence.
The Shine Advantage™ Program is structured around five core learning elements, ensuring every child develops the skills, confidence, and curiosity they need to thrive in school and beyond.

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!
