Services
Play-Based Learning
Our play-based approach helps children develop essential skills through hands-on exploration. Qualified educators design age-appropriate activities that build social confidence, physical coordination, and cognitive abilities in natural, engaging environments. Programs incorporate music, movement, and STEM elements to spark curiosity and creativity.
Kindergarten Education
Queensland government-approved kindergarten programs prepare children for primary school with structured curricula focusing on literacy, numeracy, and social skills. Bachelor-qualified teachers create flexible routines that balance learning with emotional support, ensuring smooth transitions to formal education while maintaining joyful discovery.
Nature-Inspired Play
Designed environments encourage exploration and creativity through natural elements. Outdoor areas feature age-specific play equipment, gardens, and sensory spaces that promote physical development and environmental awareness. These stimulating settings help children build motor skills while connecting with nature in safe, supervised environments.
Cultural Programs
Inclusive programs celebrate cultural diversity through themed activities and community events. Educators incorporate multicultural elements into daily learning, helping children appreciate differences from an early age. This approach fosters respect, broadens perspectives, and creates welcoming environments for families from all backgrounds.
Family Partnerships
We prioritise open communication and family collaboration through regular updates and involvement opportunities. Parents receive detailed insights into their child's progress through Storypark digital platforms and face-to-face meetings. Centre events encourage family participation, strengthening community bonds and supporting holistic child development through shared experiences.

My son Axel has been attending this childcare for over a year. It has been the best day care so far. The facility is good and clean. My child has experienced numerous activities. The staff are very attentive and helpful. Each staff member is amazing they are top stars. Thank you to each staff member (Jessee) and for taking great care of our son.

I came to sunrise kids from another big centre, I found sunrise to be much more warming and inviting for my daughter. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. I highly recommend this centre to all my family and friends.

Horrible centre, on first entry looks great but as you walk through its horrible! Appalling looking rooms filled with out dated toys and equipment, needs serious work and the cost of the fees is laughable, so many more better centres in the area, you would be stupid to pay for it let alone leave your child there bored for 8 hours. Youd think for the fees the owners would show a lot more pride in there centre, shows the lack of care. In response to owner- who I am is irrelevant, the facts are Ive been through your centre and Id be more concerned about your centre and the way you present

Lovely centre and friendly staff! We have had our kids attend since 2017 and have had nothing but positive experiences! Although there are different rooms/teachers for each age group, every teacher knows my kids names and always greets them with a smile and cuddle! one of my girls has now started Prep she is always greeted and when she comes to pick ups too! My daughter has grown and learnt so much since attending and is always happy when I pick her up!! If we ever need an extra day the centre is very accommodating! Would recommend to family and friends
