SunRise Kids, Brisbane's Childcare Centre of Choice since 2008
SunRise Kids has been supporting Brisbane families for over 18 years, a locally owned group of five early learning centres where qualified educators, a warm community, and play-based programs help every child thrive.
A childcare centre that feels like home
SunRise Kids began with our first centre at Mt Gravatt, founded by a Brisbane family who believed early education centres should feel warm, personal, and deeply connected to the communities they serve.
Today, five centres across Greater Brisbane and Ipswich continue that same vision: a place where your child is known by name, where educators invest in relationships, and where every family feels supported from the very first visit.
Open Monday to Friday, our centres offer flexible sessions designed around real family life, welcoming children from 6 weeks through to 5 years of age.
Personalised care, real connections
We believe childcare should feel as familiar as home. That’s why our caring educators take the time to get to know every child, building strong relationships that make all the difference.
With play-based learning, nature-inspired spaces, and engaging programs, SunRise Kids is a place where children feel valued, supported, and ready to explore the world around them.
Why families choose
SunRise Kids
Qualified, caring educators
Our educators are qualified and genuinely invested in the children they care for. All our early childhood teachers are Bachelor-qualified, and many of our team have been with us for 5+ years. Your child will see familiar, trusted faces every day.
Award-winning care
Our Ipswich centre was recognised with a Local Childcare Business Award in 2025, reflecting the standard of care families experience every day.

From trauma-informed care and inclusion practices to behaviour guidance training and environment planning, our team is continuously learning so your child always benefits from best-practice care.
Programs that support your child's development
Guided by the Early Years Learning Framework, our programs also draw on Reggio Emilia and the Curiosity Approach, play-based, purposeful, and built around how children actually learn.
Government-approved Kindergarten program
Our kindergarten program is government-approved and delivered by qualified teachers and educators, giving your child the best start before school.
Child Care Subsidy accepted
We’re CCS-approved, helping make quality early learning accessible for eligible families.

Meet our team of caring educators
At SunRise Kids, our educators aren’t just qualified, they’re genuinely passionate about creating a nurturing, supportive space where children feel valued and understood.
You'll always know how your child's day is going
At SunRise Kids, communication is a core part of the care we provide. Families receive daily updates through the Storypark and Xplor Playground apps — updates and notes from educators, delivered straight to your phone.
And because we believe real relationships matter more than any app, our educators take the time to connect with families personally through check-in calls, updates at drop-off and pick-up, and honest conversations about how your child is going.
Your child's safety is our highest priority
Every decision we make at SunRise Kids, from how we staff our rooms to how we train our team, comes back to one thing: making sure your child is safe, supervised, and genuinely cared for.
We maintain strict educator-to-child ratios across all age groups, so every child receives the attention and supervision they deserve throughout the day.
At least one First Aid and CPR-certified educator is on site at all times, and every member of our team completes face-to-face child protection training each year. All educators and students also hold current Child Safety Training as required.
Because when you drop your child off with us, you deserve to feel completely at ease.
