WELCOME TO RAINBOW !!

The MISSION of RAINBOW DAY SCHOOL is to help young children, ages 18 months - 5 years of age, foster independence, self-reliance and positive self-esteem.  The primary goal of our early childhood curriculum is to encourage children to become self-motivated and enthusiastic learners. Children will be encouraged to develop positive social skills at an age-appropriate level in a warm and nurturing environment. Appreciation for others and their differences will be encouraged. We will not deny enrollment to children and their families on the basis of race, religion, cultural heritage, political beliefs, national origin, disability, marital status or sexual orientation.
PHILOSOPHY Our program is based on the belief that play is an essential part of a child's pre-school experience. We will encourage the continued growth and meet the developmental needs of each child. Activities will be conducted in a manner that is responsive to individual and group needs . Children will be encouraged to take responsibility, make decisions, and learn through positive interactions with their peers. Our program is designed to help children acquire the skills, knowledge, and behaviors to facilitate their optimum physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. We believe that children need to be provided with a variety of multi-sensory experiences to enable them to retain newly acquired knowledge/skills. Children will be provided with a balance of language, cognitive, social/emotional, fine motor, and gross motor activities.

• Low Student to Teacher Ratio: Offering your child the time, attention and encouragement preschoolers need.
• Staff Experience : All staff will have experience/ education background working with pre-school age children and have been CORI approved by MASS. DEPT EEC. 
• Nurturing Environment : RAINBOW DAY SCHOOL offers your child a warm, caring environment. The staff will always available to discuss any questions and concerns, and often take the time to share news of the day with parents. There will always be an emphasis on modeling positive behavior, as opposed to calling attention to negative behavior . It is for this reason that separation (time-out) and corporal punishment will not be used. 
• Secure Location:  A fenced-in playground will help you to feel secure with your child at RAINBOW DAY SCHOOL.
• Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum: Children learn best in a warm, nurturing environment that includes a variety of sensory experiences. This encourages healthy neurological development and positive skills in all areas (cognitive, language, social/emotional, physical). Daily activities, including music/movement, arts/crafts and circle time, will provide the opportunity for children to develop their maximum potential in all of these areas.

Parents will always be recognized as being their child's best teacher: It is for this reason that a positive communication with parents will be encouraged. This will be include regular conferences to discuss progress reports. In addition, teachers will be available to listen to any questions, concerns or ideas parents may have. This will help to enrich the program and assist parents with any concerns they may have about their child's progress/development in school or at home.
