Description: Rainbow Child Care Center’s program has been developed to serve the needs of today's family. We answer the dilemma that many parents face: where to find quality child care.
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.
