Philosophy:
Our program at Rainbow encourages the development of a strong
self-esteem and feeling of competence. All children are treated as
individuals with warmth and acceptance. They are encouraged to
communicate their feelings and verbally express themselves. A sense
of accomplishment and self-worth can grow through a balance of free
choice, structured play experiences and organized activities.
Program:
Our goals at Rainbow are to enhance your child's social,
physical and academic growth. Social development occurs at Rainbow
while learning to lead and follow, share, and take turns in
activities with others. The use of language skills for problem
solving and cooperative play are greatly emphasized.
Activities such as puzzle work, coloring, pasting, and cutting
will stimulate fine motor development. Your child's gross motor
skills will be challenged through dramatic play, organized games,
and outdoor activities.
Participation in routine study time is expected of all upper
grade levels children. During these study times, encouragement and
assistance is offered by our staff.
Staff:
Our staff have been selected for their educational background,
as well ad their warmth and patience. All staff are observed during
a probation period before being hired. Our staff are encouraged to
keep their skills and knowledge current through participation in
seminars and local college courses.
Registration:
A registration fee and necessary forms must be submitted prior
to your child entering Rainbows arranged to exchange important
information pertinent to your child's well being.

telephone numbers, addresses and employment.
A PRE-REGISTRATION FEE for the upcoming summer and fall programs
is due by May of each year. These fees reserve your child's space
and are non-refundable.

Our hours during the school year are from 6:30am- 6:00pm. A late
fee of three dollars for every 5 minutes after 6:00pm will be
charged to your account. Continual late fees may result in the
termination of your child's enrollment. Due to the cost involved in
processing checks, we will change your account fifteen dollars when
a check is returned to our bank.
