A Word
From Our Admissions Director
“Every child is a unique learner. Rainbow is a place where relationship-based, holistic teaching supports our educators in uncovering the unique gifts, talents, and learning styles of each child. In doing so, our teachers are able to foster classroom environments and learning experiences in which students thrive.”
