About This Centre

Built on community, learning and belonging

Rainbows Early Learning Centre in Singleton, NSW provides play-based, EYLF-based education for children aged 0 to 5, open 7:30am to 6pm weekdays, with qualified educators, fresh meals and a focus on belonging and inclusion.

The first five years shape how children learn, build relationships and see themselves. Our program is built on the Early Years Learning Framework and planned around where each child is developmentally.

Qualified educators use play-based learning and intentional teaching to build on what each child already knows. Families are partners here, and we keep you close to your child's day.

The Baiame caves excursion is something our son still talks about. You can feel the depth of learning and respect woven through everything they do.

Melissa and her team know every family by name. It's the kind of community-minded childcare that's getting rarer.

The outdoor playground at Rainbows Early Learning Centre

Common questions

Questions Singleton families ask

Compare four things and the choice usually makes itself: the centre’s current rating against the National Quality Standard (public on the ACECQA register), whether educators stay for years or turn over constantly, what your child actually eats there, and how much you hear about their day. Then visit. Rainbows Early Learning Centre is rated Meeting NQS, cooks meals on site, and sends photos and learning stories to your phone through the day.

Rainbows Early Learning Centre is a long day care service in Singleton, open 7:30am – 6:00pm, Mon–Fri. Long day care and daycare are the same thing: full-day education and care for children under school age, with meals, rest, indoor and outdoor play and an educational program included in the daily fee. You can book anywhere from one to five days a week.
Yes. Our Pre-Kindy room (3–5 years) and School Ready program (4–5 years) are preschool programs delivered inside long day care, so children get the same early-education curriculum without you needing separate preschool hours. Both are built on the Early Years Learning Framework and led by qualified early childhood educators.
School readiness here is about self-regulation, independence, confidence in a group and early literacy and numeracy through play, not worksheets. In the year before school, children practise the things school actually asks of them: managing their own belongings, following a sequence of instructions, resolving small conflicts, listening in a group and having a go at something hard. Local families go on to primary schools around Singleton.
Our Nursery room takes babies from 6 weeks. The centre is licensed for children aged 0 – 5 years, so a child can start as a baby and stay with us right through to the year they begin school. Nursery routines are built around each baby’s own sleep and feed pattern, not a room timetable.
Rainbows Early Learning Centre has its own cook on site. Breakfast, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea and a late snack are all made from scratch in the centre kitchen using fresh ingredients, not reheated or delivered in. Allergies and dietary requirements are managed by the cook and the room educators together, and the menu is on display at the centre.

Fees vary by centre and age group, and almost no family pays the full daily rate. The Child Care Subsidy is paid straight to us, so you only pay the gap, and most families are surprised by how much it drops. Our fee covers meals, nappies, wipes, sunscreen, the learning program and excursions, with nothing extra to pay. Use the estimator on our Fees & CCS page, or ask the centre for a current fee schedule.
Yes, we currently have places available in some rooms at Rainbows Early Learning Centre. Room availability is shown on this page and updated by the centre. Send an enquiry or call and we will tell you exactly what is free on the days you need.
