Time to be little, a little longer.

With room to roam and time to discover, Raith House is set in a restored heritage property on established native grounds.

We're opening our doors in Bradbury in January 2027, for children from birth to school age, and we'd love to show you around.

Our Approach

An unhurried childhood

The world seems to want children to grow up faster than ever these days, but we've never believed childhood was something to rush.

So here, we slow it right down. We give children long, unhurried days with room to roam, space to explore, and time to wonder. Because this is how little ones actually learn, at their own pace and in their own time, coming to understand the world around them and where they fit into it. Give a child the space to be little, and they'll grow into themselves beautifully.

A day with us

Where the days
are long and the
pace is slow.

Mornings start slowly, and they usually start outside. There's a garden to dig in, vegetables to tend, and any number of small discoveries to be made.

Woven through the day is our preschool program, led by qualified early childhood educators, so the years before school are unhurried and full of learning.

At the end each day, children head home grass-stained and worn out from a day well spent.

Our Rooms

Room for every age and stage

Every room is its own small world, shaped around the children in it. Each has an indoor space and its own patch of outdoors, arranged so children can move easily between the two. So at every age there is a space made to meet your child where they are, and a room waiting for them next.

About Us

A place like no other

Raith House is led by Leonie and Andrew, who have spent more than a decade running early learning centres across the region. Years of experience have taught them what matters most to a child, the same familiar faces from one day to the next, a calm and unhurried pace, and educators who stay.

They weren't looking to open another centre, but the property found them. A quiet 1903 heritage home, tucked into a green pocket of Bradbury, wrapped in established grounds and old eucalyptus. There is nothing else like it in the Macarthur region. Leonie and Andrew are its new custodians, restoring it with care, honouring all it has been, so a new generation of children can grow up inside its history.
