I don't have kids that attend this centre but as a mum to a 2yo in full time care, I felt compelled to leave this review. On an interstate business trip, I stayed at The Glen for 4 days with my room overlooking the centre's yard. I could hear kids being dropped off from before 7AM and worked in my room for many hours and not once did I hear an educator raise their voice or a child sound unhappy, let alone cry for extended periods. What I did hear is lots of laughter, songs, activities and playing. I can't speak to the level of care inside the centre but I know that as a parent I'd love to be a fly on the wall of my own son's daycare sometimes and this week I had the pleasure of doing so for other parents.

Get To Know Us

About the Curriculum

About the Curriculum

At Sunkids, we have developed our own play-based curriculum which encompasses an emergent style of learning. This means that we listen to each child’s interests and ideas and tailor the learning experiences to meet their individual needs and interests.

Our Educators incorporate key elements such as literacy, mathematics and science into the children’s play experiences, exposing them to these key educational foundations in the most engaging and exciting way.

Providing children ownership over their learning and environments results in our centres being filled with confident and enthusiastic learners who are proud of who they are and what they are capable of.

Programs

Programs

Our new extra-curricular program, led by qualified and experienced Sunkids Coaches, is available to every child at no additional cost to families. Sessions are held three days a week and feature exciting, ever-changing activities such as sports, movement, music, yoga, meditation, games, and dance.

These programs are thoughtfully tailored to suit all age groups, from Nursery to Kindergarten, extending and enhancing our Sunkids Curriculum.

Health & nutrition

Health & nutrition

Healthy eating is a priority at all Sunkids centres, and it’s no different at Scottsdale. There’s no need to pack a lunchbox, as our on-site chef prepares morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea for the children each day. Plus, we cater for all dietary requirements upon request. Our meals ensure all the little tummies are full with healthy and nutritious food to support their learning and daily activities. There’s also complimentary fruit available in our reception foyers each day.

Our alternating weekly menus change throughout the seasons and are perfect for even the fussiest of eaters. The menus are planned in advance by incorporating nutritional needs, the children’s input and our parent’s suggestions.

Mealtimes are special at Sunkids, as children enjoy social interaction through our alfresco dining piazzas. Children are encouraged to serve themselves and others, interact with each other and enjoy beautiful food and conversation within a relaxed and unrushed environment.

For our babies who are just starting out on solid food, we provide a range of food options suitable to their age, such as pureed fruits and foods, rice puddings, and more.

Been with Sunkids for the past 4/5 years & they’ve been brilliant! My children have thrived and love going to daycare daily. Educators have been amazing since day dot. Always friendly and have had nice conversations with everyone during drop offs and pick ups :)
