About the Provider
Success in school is largely related to events and experiences that occur prior to kindergarten entry. Early childhood is a special time of wonder, imagination, and discovery. Teachers cherish and strive to protect each child's journey through childhood. Young children need knowledge and new experiences to develop and thrive. Rainbow's philosophy is to educate the whole child. To do so, we offer a superior educational program in a warm, loving, and caring environment. We encourage children to learn through play and "hands on" experiences; all of our many activities are age-appropriate. All learning occurs in a theme base curriculum, which includes Language Arts, Social Studies, Science, Math, Art, Music, Dance and Gymnastics. It is our goal to have each child enter kindergarten academically prepared and confident of their abilities. It is our hope Rainbow graduates will take with them a true love of learning.
