Meet the team
At Rise & Shine we are proud to have many of the best educators in the sector.
So what makes a great educator?
- they’re attentive, warm and caring towards children
- they’re passionate, excited and love their job
- they’re professional in the way they communicate, their attitude, commitment and presentation
- they’re qualified and experienced: they know what they are doing and they do it well
- they’re friendly and approachable.
Our crew members are all of the above and more: caring, educating and guiding your child’s development to transform them into confident and successful adults. We know that consistency is important to you and your child, so we focus on keeping our educators happy because we know if they’re happy, then they’ll stay with us for many years to come. That’s why CREW is a really important element of our Shine Advantage curriculum.

The centre is clean and tidy. Rita does an amazing job to keep everything running smoothly. Everything they do from the small things to the big things are what makes this place so special. Every time I arrived I would be greeted by every educator. Every educator knew my daughter by name. They were great at communication. Always had photos and a story at the end of every day. My daughter developed some really special connections with her educators and other toddlers, I always felt confident leaving her in their care. It was so hard to leave but we moved so we had to, and I don't think I could find a centre that compares. We will miss you guys!! Read more
