Description: Patrick and Laura Fenton, founders of Rainbow Child Care Center, opened their first school in 1986 in Hillsborough, New Jersey, shortly after the birth of their first son. They were inspired to open a state-of-the-art quality facility for young children that focused on providing children with high-quality education and enrichment programs. Now, over 25 years later, Rainbow Child Care Center is a leading provider of educational programs and is proud to operate over 90 schools across multiple states. The Rainbow family is dedicated to ensuring the best educational practices that exceed our families’ highest expectations. Our schools provide a safe “home away from home” environment for the developmental growth of every child. We value every member of our team and provide continuing education to ensure professional and personal growth within our schools. Rainbow Child Care Center is thoroughly dedicated to creating Quality through Excellence in our outstanding educational experiences.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
