Description: Welcome to Over the Rainbow Learning Center. Taking care of your children is our first priority. We hope you find our website informative and helpful.
We have been serving families since 1999. We offer full and part-time programs from infant to school age children and full and part-time kindergarten programs. At Over the Rainbow Learning Center, we believe that early childhood experiences should be a time for fun, warmth, security, exploring and discovery. Young children develop best through activities that capture their interest, imagination, challenge and growth. We have specially designed our facilities to maximize your child's overall learning experience. We offer children the chance to grow and explore at their own pace in a positively reinforced environment.
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.
