PROSPECTUS
1,000,000 COMMON SHARES
SUNRISE PRESCHOOLS, INC.
The securities offered hereby are 1,000,000 Common Shares, $.01 par
value (the "Common Shares"), to be issued upon the exercise of the outstanding
redeemable common stock purchase warrants (the "Warrants") of the Company. The
Warrants were initially issued in 1987 in connection with an offering of units
(the "Units"). Each Unit consisted of one Common Share and one Warrant.
Each Warrant is exercisable at any time prior to September 11, 1995 to
purchase one Common Share for $5.00, subject to adjustment in certain events,
such as mergers, reorganizations or stock splits, to prevent dilution. The
Company may redeem the Warrants at a price of $.05 each provided that the
average closing bid for the Common Shares shall have been $5.75 or more for any
20 consecutive trading day period ending within 30 days prior to the giving of
the notice of redemption. The Warrants were to initially expire on September 11,
1989; however, the Company has extended the Warrant expiration date on five
occasions since the initial issuance of the Warrants. All expenses in connection
with the registration of the Common Shares will be borne by the Company. See
"Risk Factors" and "Plan of Distribution."
The Common Shares and the Warrants are quoted on the National Daily
Quotation Service ("Pink Sheets") published by the National Quotation Bureau,
Inc. Quotations are also available through the "Electronic Bulletin Board"
recently instituted by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. On
April 10, 1995, the closing prices of the Common Shares and the Warrants, as
reported on the Electronic Bulletin Board, were $1.18 and $0.13, respectively.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the detailed information and consolidated financial statements, including the
notes thereto, incorporated by reference in this Prospectus. Each prospective
investor is urged to read this Prospectus in its entirety, and particularly the
information set forth in "Risk Factors."
THE COMPANY
The Company was organized under Delaware law in May 1987, and
currently operates 21 preschools in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area and
six preschools in Hawaii.
The Company is a successor to Venture Educational Programs, Inc.,
an Arizona corporation, formed in 1980, and Sunrise Preschools, Inc., an Arizona
corporation, formed in 1985. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary,
Sunrise Preschools Hawaii, Inc., formed in fiscal 1990.
During fiscal 1993 and 1994, the Company expanded its child care support
services by opening 12 additional sites (eight in 1993 and four in 1994) through
cooperative efforts with various outside agencies. These ventures required a
minimal capital investment by the Company while expanding its licensed capacity
by approximately 420 children. Management is continuing to pursue relatively low
risk, low cost programs in an effort to improve cash flow and profitability.
Effective February 1, 1994, the Company's Hawaii operations were assumed
by a Hawaii nonprofit corporation, Preschool Services, Inc. (PSI). The purpose
of this action is to enable PSI to participate in numerous grants and fundings
available to nonprofit child care entities operating in the State of Hawaii. In
exchange for a fee, the Company will provide PSI with management,
administration, educational programs and operation of PSI's preschools.
The Company has its principal office at 9128 E. San Salvador, Suite
200, Scottsdale, Arizona 85258 (telephone 602/860-1611).

RISK FACTORS
An investment in the securities offered hereby involves a high degree
of risk. Prospective investors should give careful consideration, among other
things, to the following factors in analyzing this offering:
No Assurance of Continued Profitable Operations. For the fiscal years
ended July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993, the Company had net income of $880,649
($0.34 per share) and $113,719 ($0.03 per share), respectively. Operating income
for the fiscal years ended July 30, 1994 and July 31, 1993 was $477,640 and
$177,490, respectively. The improvements in net income and operating income for
the 1994 fiscal year as compared to the 1993 fiscal year is primarily
attributable to (1) better margins; (2) strong enrollments; (3) the recognition
of a deferred tax asset of $475,358 in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes; and (4)
the formation of Preschool Services, Inc. (PSI), a nonprofit corporation for the
Company's Hawaiian operations. Although the Company had profitable operations
its last two fiscal years, there can be no assurance that the Company will, in
the future, remain profitable.
Competition. The child care industry is highly competitive. In addition
to competition from national chains, the Company competes with local, community
and church-affiliated or other nonprofit child care centers, individually owned
proprietary child care centers, licensed child care homes, in-home individual
child care providers, public schools and businesses that provide child care for
their employees. A number of the Company's competitors have substantially
greater resources than the Company.
Adverse Publicity. Some providers of child care have received negative
publicity concerning alleged child abuse, inadequate supervision and on-site
accidents. Although the Company has not been the subject of any adverse
publicity, any such publicity, whether accurate or not, could result in
decreased enrollment and have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Insurance. Recently the Company and other operators of child care
centers have experienced greater difficulty in obtaining liability insurance at
reasonable rates. Although the Company maintains liability insurance, there can
be no assurance such insurance will continue to be available to the Company in
the future or that increased premiums for such insurance will not require the
Company to increase the cost of providing child care services. If insurance is
not available to the Company, or if amounts of coverage are not adequate, the
Company may be materially and adversely affected.
Expansion Plans. The Company's initial growth was achieved primarily
through developing and constructing its own facilities. The Company's long-term
growth will most likely come from build-to-suit opportunities, where child care
facilities can be developed as an amenity to an overall project, and partnership
and managed child care programs that provide relatively low risk expansion
opportunities. The Company will also continue to evaluate opportunities related
to employer-owned centers and developer-assisted programs as they arise. If the
Company were to pursue more aggressive expansion, additional outside financing
would be required. There can be no assurance that identification and acquisition
of sites and construction of preschools, can be achieved on a cost-effective
basis or that appropriate construction or permanent financing can be obtained.
Construction of centers is subject to risk of delays and cost overruns, and such
occurrences could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
Government Regulation. Child care centers must comply with various
state and local statutes and regulations. Centers receive periodic inspection by
state licensing agencies to review adherence to child care standards, including,
among other things, appropriate staffing, cleanliness and safety. The
4
Company has not experienced any difficulty in complying with various legal
requirements. Additional regulation or changes in existing regulation might
impose additional compliance costs on the Company, which could have an adverse
effect on the Company.
Dependence Upon Key Personnel. The success of the Company will be
largely dependent upon the efforts and abilities of James R. Evans, president,
Barbara Owens, executive vice president, and other executive officers. The
Company has entered into employment agreements with Mr. Evans and Ms. Owens;
however, the loss of such individuals could have a material adverse effect on
the Company. The Company is attempting to acquire, but does not currently
maintain key man life insurance on Mr. Evans. In addition, the Company's success
is also dependent upon its ability to hire additional qualified personnel, and
there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to hire or retain the
necessary personnel.
Charter and Bylaw Provisions. Among other matters, certain provisions
of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws limit or eliminate
director liability for certain actions, permit issuance of preferred stock
without shareholder approval and require approval of greater than 50% of the
shares eligible to vote on certain matters. These and other provisions could,
under certain circumstances, prevent redress by stockholders for certain actions
taken by the directors and management and make it more difficult for an outsider
to obtain control of the Company.
No Dividends. The Company has not paid any dividends on its Common
Shares since its inception, and it is not anticipated that any dividends will be
paid in the foreseeable future. There are currently issued and outstanding
500,000 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock"). Each share of Preferred Stock has a $1.00 liquidation
preference, carries a $.10 per share annual cumulative dividend and is
convertible into one Common Share. Cumulative dividends on the Preferred Stock,
as of July 30, 1994, were $215,833. The payment of the such dividends is at the
discretion of the Company's Board of Directors; provided that such dividends
must be paid prior to the payment of dividends (except dividends payable in
Common Shares) on any other class of the Company's capital stock or the
repurchase by the Company of any of its capital stock. The payment of such
cumulative dividends could adversely affect the Company's liquidity; however, as
of the date hereof, the Company has not determined when such cumulative
dividends will be declared or paid.
Shares Eligible for Future Sale. As of April 10, 1995, the Company had
issued and outstanding 2,935,894 Common Shares and 500,000 shares of its
Preferred Stock (each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible into one
Common Share). An additional 198,589 Common Shares are issuable upon exercise of
outstanding options to purchase Common Shares. Such shares, subject to certain
limitations, may be available in the future for resale in the open market
pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as amended or
pursuant to registration of such shares under the Securities Act. The foregoing
resales, if any, may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Common
Shares.
Outstanding Options; Potential Dilution and Adverse Impact on
Additional Financing; Recent Exercise of Warrants. As of April 10, 1995, the
Company had granted and/or sold outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of
198,589 Common Shares, at a weighted average exercise price of $1.46 per share.
To the extent that the outstanding options are exercised, dilution to the
interests of the Company's stockholders may occur. For the life of such options,
the holders will have the opportunity to profit from a rise in the price of the
underlying securities. The existence of such options may adversely affect the
terms on which the Company can obtain additional financing, and the holders of
such options can be expected to exercise them at a time when the Company would,
in all likelihood, be able to obtain additional capital by an offering of its
unissued capital stock on terms more favorable to the Company than those
provided by such options. On April 6, 1995, the holders of warrants to
5
purchase an aggregate of 500,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per
share, exercised such warrants. Such shares are registered on a Form S-3 and may
be sold in accordance with the applicable federal and state securities laws.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Rights Agreement. The Company has adopted a
Preferred Shares Rights Agreement, dated as of February 10, 1995 (the "Rights
Agreement"). The Rights Agreement provides for the type of plan commonly called
a "poison pill." The Rights Agreement is intended to prevent abusive hostile
takeover attempts. However, the Rights Agreement could have the effect of
deterring or preventing an acquisition of the Company even if a majority of the
Company's stockholders would be in favor of such acquisition, and could also
have the effect of making it more difficult for a person or group to gain
control of the Company or to change existing management.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming that all of the Warrants are exercised, the net proceeds to
the Company are estimated to be approximately $5,000,000. The proceeds will be
allocated to the Company's working capital for its operations.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The Common Shares are issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The
terms of the Warrants provide that the per share exercise price shall be $5.00
per share. The subsequent sale of the Common Shares received upon the exercise
of the Warrants will be determined by the holders of recipient of such Common
Shares and may be based on market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at
prices relating to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Upon notification to the Company by the holders of the Warrants of such
holders' intent to exercise their Warrants, the Company shall issue to such
holders' the Common Shares subject to the Warrants so exercised upon the receipt
of the applicable exercise price. The Common Shares may then be sold from time
to time to purchasers directly, either in privately negotiated transactions or
through the facilities of the Electronic Bulletin Board or otherwise, by the
holders thereof. Alternatively, the holders of the Common Shares may from time
to time sell the Common Shares through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may
receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or
commissions from such holders and/or the purchasers of the Common Shares for
whom they may act as agent. The holders of the Common Shares and any
underwriter, dealer or agent that participates in the distribution of the Common
Shares may be deemed to be underwriters, and any profit on the sale of the
Common Shares by them and any discounts, commissions or concessions received by
any such underwriters, dealers or agents might be deemed to be underwriting
discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Alternatively, the holder of the Common Shares issued upon the exercise
of the Warrants may from time to time effect sales of the Common Shares in one
or more transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or
otherwise, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices relating
to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. It is anticipated
that broker-dealers participating in such sales of Common Shares will receive
the usual and customary selling commissions.
The Company will pay substantially all of the expenses incident to the
registration of the Common Shares offered hereby. The Company will not pay any
expenses incident to the offering and sale of the
6
Common Shares to the public, including, but not limited to, commissions and
discounts of underwriters, dealers or agents.

SUPPLEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 28, 1995 TO PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 28, 1995
1,000,000 COMMON SHARES
SUNRISE PRESCHOOLS, INC.
The second paragraph on the front cover page of the Prospectus dated
April 28, 1995 is amended and replaced in its entirety as follows:
Each Warrant was originally exercisable for one Common Share at a price
of $5.00 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. On
September 21, 1995, the Company announced that it had extended the expiration
date of the Warrants through November 6, 1995 (the "Warrant Expiration Date")
and reduced the exercise price of each exercisable warrant to $1.00 for the
period remaining prior to the Warrant Expiration Date. As conditions to
extension of the Warrant and reduction of the exercise price, the Company has
provided that each holder of Warrants may exercise only one of each sixteen
Warrants held, and that the Warrants will be non-transferable for their
remaining term. Exercises of the Warrants into less than whole share increments
will not be accepted. The exercise of the Warrants in accordance with the terms
described above is also subject to effective registration of the underlying
shares or an available exemption from registration in the state of such holder's
residence. Holders of Warrants electing to exercise their Warrants prior to the
Warrant Expiration Date may revoke such election, so long as notice of such
revocation is received by the Company on or prior to the Warrant Expiration
Date. All Warrants exercised and not revoked on or prior to the Warrant
Expiration Date will be accepted by the Company and the Common Shares issuable
upon the exercise of such Warrants will be delivered to the respective holders
of Warrants as soon as practicable after the Warrant Expiration Date. Assuming
all of the eligible Warrants are exercised, the proceeds to the Company are
estimated to be approximately $62,500, prior to expenses associated with the
registration of the Common Shares and the extension and reduction of the
exercise price of the Warrants. The proceeds will be allocated to the Company's
working capital for general corporate purposes.
To the extent that any statement in this Prospectus Supplement
conflicts with a statement contained in the Prospectus, the statement in this
Prospectus Supplement shall control.

MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK AND WARRANTS
Trading activity with respect to the Company's Common Stock has been
limited and the volume of transactions should not of itself be deemed to
constitute an "established public trading market." A public trading market
having the characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the
existence of market makers as well as the presence of willing buyers and
sellers, which are circumstances over which the Company does not have control.
The Common Stock is quoted in the National Daily Quotation Service
("Pink Sheets") published daily by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. under
the symbol SUNR. Quotations are also available for the Common Stock through
the Electronic Bulletin Board operated by the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. under the symbol 3SUNR. The following table sets forth
the high and low bid prices for the Common Stock based on closing transactions
during each specified period as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.,
which prices reflect inter-dealer prices without retail mark- up, mark-down or
commission and may not necessarily represent actual transactions:

PURPOSE OF PROPOSAL TO WARRANTHOLDERS
The Company has announced that it has entered into a letter of intent
to undertake a public offering of securities. In connection with planning for
such offering, the Company decided to make a proposal to the Warrantholders
which would result in the final disposition of the Warrants. Accordingly, the
Company has reduced the exercise price of the Warrants and extended their
expiration date through November 6, 1995, all as described in this Prospectus
Supplement. The Company had extended the expiration date of the Warrants
several times over the past several years. The Company believes that this final
extension through November 6, 1995 in combination with the reduction in the
exercise price of the Warrants will provide Warrantholders an opportunity to
benefit from exercise of a portion of their Warrants.
