Welcome to Milestones Early Learning Rutherford
Milestones Early Learning Rutherford offers quality child care and early education for children aged 0–5 years in a nurturing and inspiring environment designed to support every child’s learning journey. Conveniently located at 61 Aberglasslyn Road and open Monday to Friday from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm, our long day care centre is a trusted part of the Rutherford community, providing flexible care for busy families.
Our caring and passionate educators love what they do and are dedicated to creating a space where children feel safe, supported, and excited to learn. With thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor play areas, a large playground, and developmentally appropriate resources, children enjoy fun-filled days of exploration, play and connection.
We proudly follow the Lifelong Learning Curriculum — Australia’s most advanced early childhood education program — offering rich experiences in STEM, language, literacy and creative learning. Our government-approved preschool program helps children develop the confidence and foundational skills they need for a successful start to school.
Children also benefit from a range of exciting incursions, including magic shows and themed events like a frog encounter. Sustainability is part of everyday learning too — with our veggie garden, chickens, worm farm, water tanks and recycling programs teaching children to care for the environment in hands-on ways.
With strong ties to local schools, fresh meals prepared onsite daily, and safety as our highest priority, Milestones Rutherford is a place where your child can truly thrive.
We’d love to welcome your family — book a tour today and see how we can help your child achieve their next big milestone.

Our experienced educators deliver age-specific programs designed to support each stage of development, helping children grow in confidence, curiosity, and capability every step of the way.
Babies (0-1 years)
Healthy Beginnings Program
Grounded in attachment theory and the relationship practices, this program focuses on building secure, responsive relationships between babies and their educators. With nurturing care and emotional attunement, we support babies’ overall wellbeing and development.
Toddlers (1-3 years)
Early Experiences Program
Inspired by the Abecedarian Approach, our toddler program emphasises language-rich interactions, such as conversational reading and learning games. These early experiences build the foundations for strong communication, social skills, and cognitive growth.
Preschool or Kindergarten (3-5 years)
School Readiness Program
Through Project-Based Learning, children are encouraged to explore big ideas, solve problems, and collaborate with others. This hands-on, inquiry-driven approach develops critical thinking, independence, and a love of learning that lasts.
Committed to Safety and Quality
At Milestones, your child’s safety, wellbeing, and early learning journey are our highest priorities. We follow strict safety protocols as part of our Safety Commitment and operate in line with the National Quality Framework - Australia’s benchmark for early childhood education - ensuring high standards, consistency, and a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
