About the Provider

Advertisement
Reading Rainbow is a diverse Child Care provider, Licensed to provide Day Care, Evening Care and Over Night Care to children of all backgrounds. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere that promotes growth and understanding, while making learning fun for all.

We at Reading Rainbow Learning Center understand that children come from diverse back grounds, yet their common goal is being understood and loved. That's why we cater to families with diverse circumstances, with goals to service them all with custom solutions to their child care needs. We also recognize that when children are confronted with the illness of a sibling it's particularly stressing and often overwhelming to the child; because of having to spend many hours in a hospital seeing

their sibling in pain and having to deal with, what seems to be their parents showing more attention to their sibling than to them. When children attend Reading Rainbow Learning Center with such circumstances we help them to deal with their concerns. While allowing the parents to care for their ailing child without the concerns of entertaining the other child, or assisting them with things such as home work, and other activities children need for developmental growth.
