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

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.
Ongoing professional development
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.
Play-based learning & engaging programs
Children learn best when they’re having fun. That’s why SunRise Kids centres focus on play-based learning, where kids explore, experiment, and develop essential skills in a natural, hands-on way.
