Rise Early Learning Camperdown is a privately-owned and operated Early Childhood Education and Care service catering for children from birth to six years. We have used our combined personal and professional experience in the sector to design a service which offers spaces for children, families and Educators to develop trusting relationships, and foster a sense of community. Rise Early Learning are also deeply and dutifully committed to promoting the safety, well-being and inclusion of all children entrusted to our care.

About Rise Early Learning Camperdown

Nestled in the heart of Sydney’s vibrant and eclectic Inner West, Rise Early Learning Camperdown is a purpose-built, all-inclusive early childhood education service that proudly reflects the diversity and creativity of its surrounding community. Our unique space is an award-winning adaptive reuse of a former Inner West warehouse, thoughtfully transformed into an inspiring oasis for young children.

Excitingly, we are currently expanding our Camperdown campus, which is due to open within the coming month/s. This will increase enrolment capacity and create new opportunities for professional growth, leadership, collaboration, and enriched learning environments for both children and Educators.
