Our son has been attending Rise Early Learning in Abbotsford for little over 4 months now and he has learnt so much already. All the educators know him well - whether they be with him throughout his days there or not. They genuinely have an interest in our son’s happiness and well being. It feels as though we are dropping him off with family that enjoy his little giggles and milestones as much as we do. We truly appreciate everything the team and educators do for our son Connor. We love the little boy he is growing to become and are so thankful we have the team to help shape our little human.

My daughter attended Rise Learning Abbotsford from March to June 2025, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. From the very first week, she formed a strong bond with her educators, every morning when she saw them, she would light up with the biggest smile. It was clear they genuinely cared for her and provided a nurturing, supportive environment. The facilities are excellent, clean, and well-equipped, and the communication with staff was always easy and reassuring. I had no issues whatsoever during our time there , only peace of mind knowing she was in safe, loving hands. Sadly, we are relocating to Melbourne for work, and leaving Rise has been one of the hardest parts of this transition. We will truly miss the team and hope to find another childcare that meets the same high standards. Thank you to everyone at Rise for giving my daughter such a positive and loving start.

Don’t send your kids here.

Lovely educators and management. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Highly recommend Rise.

My daughter loves attending Rise Early Learning in Abbotsford. We have been part of this early learning centre from the first day it opened in September 2020 and love the care that the educators show towards the children. The smaller boutique feel and nice open spaces create an enriching environment for young children to grow, play and develop.

DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE When you’re reading the reviews for this centre, be sure to pay attention to the date they were published as most of them predate Rise taking over the daycare (March 2024). My daughter attended this centre for 3.5 years before we decided we had no choice but to remove her and our 2 year-old son for their own safety. We became concerned with the high staff turnover / burnout and it got to the point that we rarely recognised more than one educator in the room, if that. There was no continuity of care and this lack of proper supervision in the Pre-school room led to incidents where my daughter was bitten on the face, had chairs thrown at her, her water bottle emptied on her head, and had a bucket thrown at her head. Only one of these incidents was reported to us by Rise. Other incidents of violent behaviour by the children in my daughter’s class include children being dragged around the classroom by their hair, multiple smashed windows, kicking, biting, strangling, and using objects as missiles towards other children. My wife arrived once at the centre to find one boy throwing human faeces at another child. On another occasion a disruptive child had been locked in a bathroom for his and the other children’s protection. The “Family Support Manager” was the most senior employee we were able to contact and she was dismissive to the point of rudeness. My wife first contacted her to voice concerns over the safety of the children, and she was reassured the centre would “implement further behavioural strategies”, “take appropriate measures”, and other buzzword filled nonsense. Despite this warning, two significantly violent incidents occurred over the next few weeks. The centre changed hands twice during our children’s attendance but Rise management were by far the most inconsiderate – almost disdainful – toward any concerns we raised. We withdrew our children within 5 months of our daughter starting school because we were desperate to get her and her brother out of that environment. I’d give them 0 stars if I could.

My children have been going to rise now for over a year and we have been really happy with the service. Both my kids love the teachers and the large open space for imaginative play.

A beautiful centre with lovely, caring educators. My daughter has been attending for 2 years and is very happy.

We love Rise Early Learning Abbotsford! A fantastic centre with caring Educators. Highly recommend!
