If you’re a local family commuting from Ryde, Rhodes, or live in the surrounding suburbs, Rise & Shine Kindergarten Haberfield is one early learning centre worth a visit! Conveniently located with parking right out front, this vibrant, family-owned centre has built a reputation as a leader in STEM education in the early years – and after our visit, we can see why.

Purpose-built spaces for every age

This beautiful, 94-place centre caters to children aged 6 weeks to 6 years, with separate nursery, toddler, and preschool rooms designed to meet the developmental needs of each age group. Each room features age-appropriate resources and its own outdoor space, giving children the freedom to play and explore in a way that suits their stage of growth.

Families love the Care+ approach in the nursery and toddler rooms, where every child receives an individualised care plan and a dedicated crew member who understands their unique routines, comforts, and learning style. It’s a warm, personalised approach that helps children feel safe and supported from day one.

Excellent value and generous subsidies

Rise & Shine Kindergarten Haberfield is also a standout when it comes to affordability. With CCS (Child Care Subsidy)and the Start Strong funding of $2,174 per child, some families are paying as little as $20 per day. For a fully inclusive service with such high standards, this represents outstanding value.

Long-standing staff you can trust

One of the things that stood out to us was the team. The educators here are experienced, dedicated, and many have been with Rise & Shine for over 7–8 years across their centres. They know how to make children feel seen, safe, and supported – and that kind of continuity makes a big difference.
