Our Vision.
Education of the Heart, Mind And Body.
Since 2004, Sunkids has been driven by a singular vision: to positively shape the next generation and beyond through our play-based curriculum. We believe that a child’s early years are crucial, laying the foundation for future success.
To us, every child is a precious trust, and as a family-owned Early Learning provider, we emphasize nurturing relationships, cultivating trust, and sharing aspirations.
Children: A Precious Trust
We work hard to be worthy of the trust families have shown by placing their child into our care. We strive to provide all children with the very best to maximise their early education.
Parents: The First Educators
We honour the rights of parents as the first and foremost educators of their children. We develop strong relationships with our parents and work together in the development of their child.
Early Childhood Professionals: The Role of The Educator
Our Educators are fully supported in providing the very best for children entrusted to their care. Our Educators act as facilitators to capitalise on teachable moments as they arise naturally through day-to-day situations.
Curriculum: A Child-Centered Framework
Our emergent curriculum responds to, expands and builds upon the ideas and interests of the children. The children are at the centre of all decisions, and planning to provide them with the very best learning opportunities.
Physical Environment: The Third Teacher
Our centres are a place of inspiration and imagination that fosters learning in a creative, aesthetic and orderly ambience. We will provide safe and secure environments that allow children to learn, play and explore.
Relationships & Respectful Interactions: All There Is
We value the importance of having and demonstrating respectful relationships with the communities around us. These relationships we build between children, parents, and society.
