Rainbow Early Years
The new £2.4m extension to the Park Farm facility was developed in partnership with Inverclyde Council. It is connected to the existing Rainbow Family Centre. Both buildings will operate as one facility (Rainbow Family Centre). The existing centre remained open during the building work.
The extension is part of a major expansion programme which has seen the amount of free early learning and childcare provided to all three and four year olds – as well as two year olds whose parents are on benefits or a low income – virtually double from 600 hours a year to 1,140 hours.
