Where love is the essence of everything we do.
Sunrise Kindergarten is a non profit children’s centre which provides a range of carefully planned play-based programs to meet the needs of children in the 3 to 5 age group. The educational philosophy of Sunrise recognises the importance of learning respect and love for all. It is called Neo-Humanism. Neo-Humanism expands the underlying spirit of humanism, which is love for fellow beings to encompass love of all the creation as well as a realisation of the interconnectedness of all aspects within it.
Our Vision at Sunrise Preschool and Long Day Care
We develop the feeling of love and connectedness from early childhood through our academic, physical and spiritual education within a supportive and caring learning environment.
The Circle of love
Is the circle that brings us together with the idea of love through songs, story telling, dances, meditation, visualisations and yoga. Our children love morning circles, this is the time they connect with each other with an open heart to receive and give love to their friends and educators.
At Sunrise, keeping children & staff safe, happy and respected is at the heart of everything we do.
We’re committed to creating a space where every child and family feels secure, included and valued for who they are. This means making sure all children — including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children, children from different cultural backgrounds, children with a disability, and children from diverse families — feel seen, heard and supported.
We are one of the oldest preschools in North Fitzroy operating since 1993 and in Thornbury since 2016.

Testimonials
Thank you for all of your kindness, patience and unwavering commitment to Hugo’s care over the past 2 years. Your love and dedication has meant the world to us. We can’t thank you enough for the help and guidance you have given Hugo (and us!) through these years of big emotions and uncharted territory! We are sad to say goodbye now, but look forward to seeing you again when Mimi begins her Sunrise journey.
Sunrise is a really special place and community. Both of our kids have blossomed in their time at Sunrise. There is a feeling of warmth and calm there and the kids are sohappy. The educators are incredible, many have been there for a really long time so they are very knowledgeable and expert with the individual kids and their needs. There is a lot of music and making which our kids loved. We love the philosophy based around love and respect for all things, and that the kids are learning meditation and yoga so young. The daily walks also encourage the kids to feel part of the community and keep them curious and engaged. It’s a very happy place!
