Our Philosophy

Rainbow Station Early Education Centre acknowledges the land of the Bunjalung Nation. We promise to look after the plants, the animals and the people who meet on this land. We also extend this acknowledgement to elders past, present and emerging. We believe children growing up on this land, should be educated on the history, the culture and respect of the Bunjalung Country.

Rainbow Station Early Education Centre Casino has been rated as Exceeding The National Quality Standard under the National Quality Framework.

The National Quality Standard (NQS) sets a national benchmark for the quality of children’s education and care services across Australia.

Services are assessed against the NQS by the state or territory regulatory authority and receive a rating for each of the seven quality areas of the NQS, as well as an overall rating. “An overall rating of Exceeding NQS is given to services that go above and beyond the requirements of the NQS in at least four of the seven quality areas,”

Rainbow Station Early Education Centre Casino is commended on its achievements in providing quality outcomes for children. In particular, careful planning, reflective practice and willingness to collaborate with families and other community organisations to enhance children's learning and wellbeing demonstrate the commitment to quality by educators at Rainbow Station Early Education Centre Casino

The National Quality Framework (NQF) for early childhood education and care was agreed by all Australian governments to get better educational and development outcomes for children using education and care services.

Implementation of the NQF is guided by the Australian Children’s Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA).
