Innovative early learning programs

Our passionate teachers and educators deliver the Early Years Learning Framework through Headstart’s innovative play-based learning program, which covers key curriculum areas.

When it comes to your child, we go beyond core language, literacy and numeracy to also focus on supporting their social and emotional development – including overall resilience.

This is possible thanks to our extended learning program, which spans:

  • Rhythm and Movement for Self-Regulation (RAMSR), an evidence-based program to support children’s executive function and self-regulation
  • Environmental and social sustainability learning experiences
  • Personalised learning plans for each child
  • Local school connections

Government-approved Kindergarten and Preschool programs

Expect big things for your child with our focus on encouraging new connections and friendships while advancing their early language, literacy, numeracy, problem-solving and social skills.

Even better, our year-round program will be tailored to accommodate your child’s individual learning and development needs, which will do wonders for boosting their enthusiasm, motivation and willingness to learn.

What our families are saying:

“We moved here after a terrible experience at a previous Centre. We were worried about how our daughter would settle, but she was instantly welcomed into the Rainbow Room family. Our daughter feels secure, her voice is heard, and her opinions are valued and respected. Thank you for helping her regain her self-confidence and making her happy.”
