- Rise & Shine Kindergarten Haberfield
Rise & Shine Haberfield is a premium early learning centre serving families across Haberfield and the surrounding Inner West. With government subsidies, fees can start from $20 per day, making high-quality childcare in Haberfield more accessible than many families expect.
Most long day care centres in Haberfield offer the essentials. Rise & Shine goes above and beyond.
Our play-based, holistic Shine Advantage™ curriculum is the framework behind everything that happens in our rooms.
Built around five elements Smart Start (including STEM), Fit, Inspired, Unite, and Crew, it’s designed to develop the whole child, not just school readiness skills. We believe learning should be tailored to the individual child’s needs, interests, and stage of development.
For our youngest children, the Care+ infant approach means assigned primary educators, low ratios, and a consistent daily rhythm that builds trust and security from the very first week.
For preschool-aged children, the Orbit STEM Hub brings hands-on science, technology, engineering, and maths into everyday learning, the kind of exploration that makes children excited to learn.
Recognised with the 2025 Teachers’ Guild of NSW Excellence Award, Rise & Shine is the only early learning provider in the state to receive this distinction. It reflects the standard of care and education families experience every single day.
Families choose Rise & Shine Haberfield because everything is taken care of:
Our preschool program in Haberfield runs for children aged 3–6 years and is led by qualified Early Childhood Teachers. The program combines strong literacy and numeracy foundations with the social and emotional development of children, supporting school readiness.
Rise & Shine Kindergarten’s Transition to School Program follows the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and goes above and beyond with a four-week intensive November program, parent information sessions, Kindy+ excursions, and immersive events that build confidence through real-world experiences.
With exclusive access to our industry-first Orbit STEM hub and partnerships with local schools through the Early to Excellence program, we prepare children for future learning by connecting them with school environments, peers, and advanced Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics opportunities.
Eligible 4-year-olds can access NSW Start Strong preschool funding, which stacks with the federal Child Care Subsidy (CCS). Combined, these subsidies mean many Haberfield families pay from as little as $20 per day for a full preschool program.

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™ Program, a research-driven curriculum 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!
