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.

Sunkids Eight Mile Plains has truly become a second home for our family. As an Early Childhood Professional with years of experience as both perspectives as an Educator and a Mother, I have had the opportunity to see and work with several Early Childhood centers. However, Sunkids stands out as a place that goes above and beyond. From the very beginning, Sunkids has been an incredible support to our family, providing a nurturing and caring environment that my children thrive in. It’s clear that the staff and management team are passionate about their roles and truly invested in the well-being of the children they care for. They are not only educators but also a supportive network that makes a lasting impact on our lives. My children absolutely love coming to kindy every day—they eagerly look forward to their time there, knowing they are in a place where they feel safe, loved, and valued. It’s been wonderful to watch them grow and develop in such a positive environment. What truly sets Sunkids apart is the dedication of the staff and management. They are not just there to teach—they form deep connections with the children, offering personalised care and guidance. The professionalism, commitment, and care they provide are beyond what I could have hoped for. I am forever grateful for the positive influence and support that Sunkids has provided to our family. It’s a place where children are nurtured, families are supported, and education is delivered with heart. I would highly recommend Sunkids Eight Mile Plains to any family looking for a truly exceptional early childhood education experience. Read more

Over the past few months, my child has been bitten by another child on more than four separate occasions. Each time, I have received minimal information about how the incidents were handled, and it seems that the appropriate steps are not being taken to ensure my child's safety. Since the change in management, I have noticed a significant decline in the level of care and responsibility exhibited by the staff. There has been a lack of clear communication, and the overall handling of such incidents has been careless. As a parent, I am deeply concerned about the well-being of my child in this environment.
