As a parent at Sunshine Kindy for around 3 years I can say that this place is truly a hidden gem of Chester Hill. The small class sizes, nurturing and positive staff stand out. His teacher's individualised focus on my son’s development has been invaluable in preparing my son for school and caring for him in his toddler years. All the teachers genuinely care for the wellbeing of my son and are always there to provide support or have an honest chat about how he is going, they feel like family not childcare staff and my husband and I have 100% trust and faith in them. The teachers also share photos and descriptions of all daily activities frequently throughout the day.
My son's teachers support helped me pinpoint areas of development so that I could focus on these at home while they also supported his specific skills.
The play-based educational approach at Sunshine Kindy helped my son develop a natural curiosity in learning about the world and paved the pathway for successful literacy and numeracy skills. Using their massive outdoor play space, Sunshine Kindy runs lots of fun real-world based learning experiences such as chicken egg hatching and sustainable farming practices. My son is always excited to talk about these projects at home and go to preschool to see them.
Another quality Sunshine Kindy nurtured in my son his empathy. My son is always eager to help and share with others. With a consistent approach and a positive environment my son has learnt the importance of caring for others around him. He is now fully prepared for the next chapter in his life as a future Kindergarten student. As a high school teacher, I would say that the care at Sunshine Kindy is unmatched and has helped our busy working family support our son in every way possible.

Dear Tayabba,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous reflection. Reading your words genuinely moved us.
To earn your trust as a parent is something we never take lightly, but to receive this feedback from you as a high school teacher, with your deep understanding of education, child development, and the long-term impact of early foundations, makes it even more meaningful. Your professional insight and high standards give real weight to everything you’ve shared, and we are deeply grateful.
Watching your "A" grow over the years, socially, emotionally, and in confidence, has been a privilege for our team. The empathy, curiosity, and love of learning you describe are qualities we intentionally nurture, and it means the world to us to know those values are shining through at home as well.
What you wrote about our educators feeling like family truly captures the heart of Sunshine Kindy. Relationships, trust, and open and honest communication sit at the centre of everything we do, and your words affirm that this approach truly matters.
We also deeply value the partnership you described between home and kindy. Supporting families to understand their child’s development and work collaboratively toward shared goals is something we believe makes all the difference, and your experience reflects that beautifully.
As "A" steps confidently into his next chapter, please know how proud we are of him, and how thankful we are to have been part of his journey.
Families like yours are exactly why Sunshine Kindy exists.
With sincere gratitude,
Alf
