Parent Handbook
Everything you need to know about getting started at Rainbow Preschool
We know how important it is for families to feel informed, supported, and confident when joining our centre. This overview gives you a quick snapshot of key information you’ll need as your child begins their journey with us. For full details on our routines, policies, and expectations, simply download our Parent Handbook.
Coping with Separation Anxiety
It’s completely normal for children to feel unsure during drop-off. Our team provides gentle support, consistency, and comfort to help your child build confidence and settle happily into their day.
What My Child Will Need
We keep things simple. Each day, children need a labelled bag with spare clothes, a hat, a drink bottle, and any comfort items they may use. We’ll guide you through everything else.
Centre Expectations
We aim to create a safe, respectful, and nurturing environment. Clear communication, punctuality, and supporting our routines help us ensure every child has a positive experience.
Food Allergies
Your child’s safety is our priority. We follow strict allergy-aware practices and require all families to inform us of any allergies so we can provide safe meal and play environments.
Family Involvement
Families are an important part of our community. We welcome your ideas, feedback, and participation in events, celebrations, and your child’s learning journey.
Immunisation Requirement
To protect all children, we require up-to-date immunisation records upon enrolment. This ensures we meet regulatory requirements and maintain a healthy environment for everyone.
Funding & Fees
We offer transparent fee structures and guidance on accessing applicable government funding or rebates. Our team is here to help you understand your options.
Concerns & Complaints Policy
We value open communication. If you ever have concerns, we encourage you to speak with us directly so we can resolve issues promptly and respectfully.
