About the Provider

Description: The philosophy of the Rainbow Nursery School is the development of the total child. We encourage children to feel secure and loved so that each child may reach their own individual potential in all areas of their lives. The school’s environment creates many opportunities for the child to learn. The curriculum and schedule are based on both planned and unplanned happenings of the school day. Materials are selected and arranged to encourage the child to learn through both individual and group participation.

I have used this provider for more than 6 months

I highly recommend this preschool for those looking for a loving, nurturing, supportive environment for their little one to grow and thrive. The Rainbow teaching staff is so kind-hearted and friendly. They go above and beyond to create a safe, loving, and family-oriented atmosphere.
