Early learning & childcare in Glenhaven
A little more nature. A lot more room to grow.
Rainbow Haven is a privately owned centre on a 5 acre property in Glenhaven, surrounded by bushland. The easiest way to know whether it suits your family is to walk through it with us, meet the educators and see how the day runs.

In their words
A parent's perspective
"The educators and the center manager are so warm and caring, and they all remember my son's name."
The setting
Bushland on the doorstep, and play spaces built for it
The centre sits in a semi rural pocket of Glenhaven on a 5 acre property surrounded by bushland. Children play in the fenced outdoor areas and rooms designed for their age group, with plenty of shade, grass and timber to climb.
Starting care
Your child does not have to start on their own
Before their first day, you are welcome to come in for an orientation and stay with your child while they get used to the room, the educators and the routine. It is also when educators hear from you about your child and what they need.
There is no charge for orientation. Our team includes degree qualified early childhood teachers and an educational leader who guides the program, and many of them have had their own children attend the centre.
Families receive updates about the day through KindyHub, and through conversations at drop off and pick up.
Room by room
A room for each stage of childhood
Children move through five rooms as they grow, from babies to the year before school. The program is play based and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework.
