Early childhood education centre in the heart of Ipswich

For over ten years, families in Ipswich have trusted us to provide early education that feels like an extension of home. As a family-owned centre, we take pride in creating a place where parents feel supported and children feel genuinely cared for.

Every day is filled with play, laughter, and learning. Our educators know the importance of those little moments — the first friendships, the curious questions, the proud smiles when a child learns something new. It’s these connections that make our early learning centre a welcoming part of the local community.

A nurturing environment to begin their early learning journey

At SunRise Kids Ipswich, we see early education as the beginning of so much more. Children aged 6 weeks to 5 years are encouraged to try new things, make friends, and discover their independence in a safe and supportive space.

Our team takes the time to know every child, celebrating their personalities and helping them grow in confidence. With engaging activities and a strong focus on essential life skills, we prepare little learners not just for school, but for the everyday adventures that lie ahead.

Building strong foundations for school and beyond

The first five years are when so much learning takes place. Children are developing language, imagination and social skills at a pace that shapes how they see the world.

At SunRise Kids Ipswich, the Early Years Learning Framework guides how we support each child’s progress. From exploring nature to practising early numeracy and literacy through play, every activity helps build skills that will carry them into school age with a strong sense of readiness.

Most of all, these years are about sparking curiosity and joy in learning. When children feel encouraged to explore, ask questions and try new things, they grow with a love of discovery that stays with them for life.

Supporting your child's learning journey every step of the way

At SunRise Kids Ipswich, we provide age-specific programs tailored to each stage of early childhood development. Our play-based approach ensures that learning is always fun, engaging, and meaningful.

Nursery

6 weeks to 15 months
In the nursery, we create a calm and caring space where your baby feels secure and loved. Our educators follow your child’s routine, giving them comfort and gentle support through songs, sensory play, cuddles and quiet time. These first experiences help babies feel safe and ready to explore the world around them.

Toddlers

15 months - 2.5 years
Every day is an adventure for toddlers, and our environment is designed to keep up with their energy and curiosity. Children are encouraged to climb, build, create and explore in ways that feel exciting and natural to them. From messy play and music to group activities and outdoor discovery, they enjoy experiences that match their growing interests and personalities.

Pre-Kindy

2.5 years - 3 years
As little ones grow and their curiosity expands, our Pre-Kindy room offers a space to explore new ideas, make friends, and learn through play. Educators guide them with patience and care, ensuring activities are both educational and exciting, while supporting the framework of the National Quality Standard.

Kindergarten

3 years - 5 years
Our Kindergarten program balances fun and learning to prepare children for their move into school age. Led by qualified teachers, and guided by the government approved Kindergarten Program, children explore new ideas through hands-on activities and group learning.

Words from our parents

We have been part of the sunrise community for just over 12 months. The staff the environment and the attention to detail are just outstanding nothing is to hard and communication is on point. Both my boys are excited to go every day and they cant wait to see what they will learn or do

The programs are outstanding with a huge variety on offer boy boys have build up confidence and friendships being part of this community.

“The team at Sunrise Kids have also been so accommodating and considerate to me as a parent going through some health issues. We are very grateful for the quality of care. Highly recommend!"

We couldn't be happier with the care our son is receiving at Sunrise Kippa. The staff are attentive, kind, and have helped our little one grow in so many ways, he is always happy to be dropped off and has made many great friends, both educators and his peers.

" We love sending our son to Sunrise Kids in Kippa-Ring. As first-time parents, we were very selective in choosing the right daycare, looking for a place that felt personal, welcoming, and truly focused on the children. From day one, the staff have been incredibly warm and caring, always greeting us and knowing our son by name. What truly stands out is how they listen and cater to each child’s interests. Our son loves animals and Old MacDonald, and to our delight, his teacher created a barn from boxes with farm animals and finger puppets just for him. This thoughtful gesture meant the world to him and to us as parents. Sunrise Kids is a nurturing, friendly, and genuine environment where we feel completely confident that our son is safe, happy, and well cared for. We are grateful to have found such a wonderful daycare for our child. Thanks"

"Sunrise Kids Kippa-Ring has been an absolute blessing for our family! The care, kindness, and dedication of the staff have made all the difference in our daughter's growth over the past three years. We've watched her flourish in a nurturing, fun, and enriching environment that truly feels like a second home. The team at Sunrise Kids Kippa-Ring goes above and beyond, ensuring each child feels valued, supported, and excited to learn every day. We couldn’t be happier with our experience—highly recommend!"
