Our Staff

Our well-qualified and experienced staff has great affection, knowledge, respect, and understanding of very young children. The teachers guide the boys and girls through a comfortable environment away from home. They support the children while they try out their natural curiosity in clean and safe surroundings.

Our Commitment

Rainbow School offers a rich and challenging environment where children develop social, intellectual, physical, and learning skills. Working and busy parents can be confident that their children are being well and affectionately cared for.

Our Philosophy

Our philosophy is to allow a child to learn through self questioning thus enabling him/her to obtain answers from experience. The staff provides guidance and questions to assist the development of your child's awareness of his/her world and self. Children at Rainbow School are free to join any activities presented by the staff. They are not required to participate only encouraged. Rainbow School welcomes people of all races, colors, religion, national origin and ancestries.

Program

The Rainbow School Toddler Program offers a safe, warm and enriching environment where children develop auditory, visual, tactile, and manipulative skills as well as a positive sense of self. The Toddlers also begin to experience more social, cognitive, physical, and learning skills in preparation for transition into pre-school.
Our program provides varied and flexible opportunities for socialization, large motor play, creative and learning experiences as well as snacks, rest and quiet times. Our goal is to nurture each child's growth and development; to encourage a positive self concept, and to develop each child's trust. Rainbow School welcomes and encourages parental involvement in school activities.

As a transition between infant care and pre-school, our toddler program also aims to prepare each child for the pre-school experience by emphasizing independent learning through discovery, participation and interaction with others. Learning areas include: music, cooking, science, language, small & large motor activities.

Setting

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