Everything You Need

Welcome! Here at Rainbow we teach a curriculum to each age group guided by the Teaching Strategies Creative Curriculum. This curriculum empowers children to be confident, creative, and caring learners through play-based, hands-on investigations. This is a research-based approach that incorporates language, literacy, mathematics, and so much more. Children are learning all throughout the day not only through planned activities but also through their play, interactions, and conversations!

Rainbow also participates in annual child screenings with the use of Ages and Stages Questionnaires. This is a comprehensive screening tool used to pinpoint each child's developmental progress from birth through age 5.

Please see below for teacher to child ratios and supplies that may be needed for each age group.

Toddlers

Infants

Age range: 6 weeks to 18 months

Teacher to child ratios: 1 to 5 and 2 to 12

The program provides infant formula, cereal, and food, along with wipes for diaper changes. Parents will need to supply diapers and empty bottles. If a parent chooses to provide formula it must be premade in individual bottles. Breastmilk is also accepted as long as it is labeled with an expression date. We encourage families to bring at least one extra set of clothing in case of any accidents or spills throughout the day.

At the end of each day, you will be provided with a report card that outlines what your child ate, how much, and information regarding their diaper changes.
