Sunrise is an interesting, secure and enjoyable place in which to learn and grow

Teaching & Learning

Sunrise strives to promote the total growth and development of each child and endeavours to create a suitable environment for this purpose.

The environment is warm, loving, stimulating and in keeping with our philosophical ideals. All interactions with the children and decisions affecting their well being are based on knowledge of early childhood theories and practices.

The Centre maintains a safe, healthy learning environment. The physical space, materials and routines are arranged in a way that creates an interesting, secure and enjoyable place in which to learn and grow.

The program allows children to choose from various activities, which provide them with excellent opportunities to gain greater self-mastery of themselves and their environment and to develop physical and mental competence, social skills and spiritual outlook.

The educational philosophy of Sunrise Kindergarten recognises the importance of learning respect and love for all. It is called Neo-Humanism (NH). The philosophy of Neo-Humanism expands the underlying spirit of humanism or love for fellow beings to encompass love for animals, plants and the inanimate. The word Neo means ‘ever new’. In this spirit, a NH teacher keeps an open perspective, free of dogma or limiting views.
