Some things are genuinely hard to find in a childcare centre: a team that stays, an approach that goes beyond the basics, and a curriculum built around the whole child.
Our leadership team supporting Dundas childcare centre has been with Rise & Shine Kindergarten for years, which means they know families’ needs and the Rise & Shine Kindergarten operations and care approach. For babies and younger toddlers, our Care+ infant approach prioritises consistent caregivers, low ratios, and secure attachment from day one. It gives little ones the confidence to explore, and parents the peace of mind that their child is known and looked after.
Across every room, learning is shaped by the Shine Advantage™ curriculum – our own framework built around five elements: Smart Start (including STEM), Fit, Inspired, Unite, and Crew.
Families searching for quality childcare in Dundas or even childcare in Rydalmere often tell us the difference at Rise & Shine comes down to the details. We’ve thought through every part of the day.

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!
Our Transition to School Program takes the nerves out of starting Kindergarten.
In the lead-up to school, children build the independence, communication, and emotional readiness that teachers notice on day one.
The program is a natural fit for children heading to Dundas Public School, Telopea Public School, and families within the James Ruse Agricultural High School catchment zone.
The extras at Rise & Shine Dundas aren’t really extras – they’re part of the daily experience:
The Child Care Subsidy is a federal government payment that reduces out-of-pocket childcare costs.
How much you receive depends on your combined family income, the hours of activity each parent does per week (work, study, or volunteering), and your child’s care type and age.
Most families who use approved childcare qualify – it’s worth checking even if you’re not sure.
For 4-year-olds (and some eligible 3-year-olds), NSW Start Strong provides additional state government funding that sits on top of CCS. When both are applied together, families at our childcare centre in Dundas Valley can pay from as little as $20 per day.
