RNS Child Care Ballarat has two beautiful outdoor environments which include a vegetable garden, ferns, tan bark, grassed area and natural materials.

At RNS we believe that the environment needs to be safe, secure, comfortable and encouraging to foster children’s trust, self-esteem, self-worth and their sense of belonging. We also understand how important families are to child’s growth and development. We encourage family involvement, collaborate with families to ensure we are meeting the needs of each individual child and family at our service.

At our child care center Rise n Shine Ballarat, we offer educational programs which reflect the diverse cultural, interests and abilities of our children and families. We believe that children learn best though play and we have high expectations for every child. In conjunction with the children’s play, our educators believe in respectful relationships and responsive engagement. This assists the children in achieving success and working towards becoming citizens of our community.

Our educators at Rise n Shine Early Learning Centre Ballarat understand how hard it is for parents and families to leave their child in care. That’s why it is important to us to establish and maintain positive relationships with educators, children and families and we value the necessity of open, trusting and honest communication between all parties involved.
