PRE-KINDERGARTEN IN GOLETA, CA

(Ages 4-6 Years Old)

Program

The Pre-Kindergarten Program is designed to be a transition between Pre-School and Kindergarten. The Pre-Kindergarten curriculum involves a multisensory approach to the alphabet and number concepts and includes the following goals: developing language skills, teaching sound-symbol associations, and developing thinking skills in an orderly sequence. Learning areas include computers, science exploration, cooking, art, music, drama, large motor activities, and community awareness. Our aim is to help each child develop positive skills in the areas of self concept, expression of their feelings, and self-control. Rainbow School welcomes parental involvement in school activities.

Setting

Rainbow School has expansive classrooms and playgrounds. Our Pre-Kindergarten rooms contain furnishings and materials carefully selected with young children in mind. The safe and durable playground equipment provides ample opportunities for outdoor exploration.

Staff

Our well-qualified and experienced staff has great affection, knowledge, and understanding of young children. The teachers guide the boys and girls through a comfortable environment away from home. They assist the children in communicating successfully with others and developing a positive respect for themselves.

Snacks

A mid-morning & mid-afternoon snack is served. Children bring a sack lunch. A beverage is provided.

Our Commitment
