BEWARE OF THIS DAYCARE…read more As both a former employee and a parent, I would never recommend Rainbow Center in Wethersfield to any family. I left this center because I could no longer feel comfortable being associated with the environment children were being exposed to. During my time there, I witnessed staff yelling at children for having accidents instead of helping them with patience and compassion. In the 2's program specifically, I personally heard a staff member insult children by calling them "ugly," "disgusting like their parents," using the R-word toward a toddler, and calling another child a "s--- like her mother." I also witnessed children being handled roughly, including being dragged by the hood of a sweatshirt and yanked by their arms. One situation that especially upset me involved a 1 1/2-year-old child who had been stung by a bee and was told to "suck it up" instead of being comforted appropriately. What makes this even more concerning is that the same employee who spoke to children this way and handled them roughly was also babysitting some of these same children privately outside of daycare hours. I also witnessed serious concerns regarding illness policies. During a hand-foot-and-mouth outbreak, children were allowed to remain in classrooms despite visible sores because staff did not want to inconvenience parents late in the day. As a parent myself, that was extremely concerning. Another major issue was the lack of accountability from management. I repeatedly reported inappropriate behavior and concerns directly to administration, including through text messages, and little to no action was taken. The employee involved remained working with children. The culture among staff was deeply unprofessional. Teachers openly mocked parents, criticized children's lunches, made insulting comments about families, and even mocked disabilities in front of children. No child deserves to grow up in an environment where adults speak about them that way. There are wonderful childcare workers everywhere who genuinely love and protect children. Unfortunately, my experience at this center was the opposite, and I would strongly encourage parents to look carefully into other options before enrolling their child here. if you have questions or want proof my email is coarosex@gmail.com

Extremely dissatisfied with how they handle situations regarding supervision in the classroom, and they do not keep proper documentation of incidents that occur. Not to mention that the last incident that had occurred, I received a text instead of a phone call even though management knew this was a very sensitive issue. Additionally, tuition is raised each year and they have gotten rid of the "Men and Women in the Workforce" discount. Staff are constantly being turned over or shuffled around. The list goes on and on. Look elsewhere!

We've had our kiddo enrolled here for several months now, and we're so happy we made the decision of this daycare. The staff is amazingly patient, informed, and kind.

Thank you TLE for all your effort and care - each and every one of your staff I've met is amazing.

The school is clean, safe and provides many activities for the children's development.

Not a school that I recommend. My 2 children went through…read morethis school. My oldest was there for 3 years and youngest for 2. My older one did fine, no problems. The teachers and directors were always super sweet to us. But when my younger son was 2 years old the school had no idea how to handle age appropriate negative behaviors. Some 2 year olds can be challenging but instead of trying to help, they instead tried everything to get us to leave the school and transfer him out. I would pick him up every day and his diaper and pants would be soaked and I would ask "how come no one changed him?" And consistently I would get the answer "he refused." Ummm a 2 year old refused to change their diaper and you are ok with that? Same thing with food. He would not be given his lunch but everything was thrown out daily. Their attitude towards us changed completely. No more sweet, helpful teachers and directors. It was just a very uncaring situation when a child becomes a little challenging. But if your child follows all their rules and never gives any problem (like my older one), they will do fine. We switched my younger one to Joni's down the street (I was hesitant because the building was older and cramped and I hadn't known much about that school). But I am so thankful for the switch. He did amazing and he thrived there with their love.

The director and the teachers truly love their job. Prior to Covid, I was able to come into the center and nurse my baby. I saw firsthand how well the infant teachers handled their kids. They were all held and attended to as if they were their own. We now have two kids in this center. Their Covid precautions are strict, but we feel safe and clean here. My toddler son is learning so much at the discovery preschool level, much more than I would have been able to expose him to. It truly is like a play based school before school. Only cons are high teacher turnover, but this is common in other daycares from what I hear.

I enrolled my highly intelligent child into KinderCare based on their curriculum. I terminated my…read moresons care after 1 month. I witness on 3 different occasions a less than ideal tone used with my toddler. I also witness him being off on his own on one occasion very sad. I asked him what was wrong and he said he felt alone because the kid had taken a toy from him. Meanwhile the teacher was on his cell phone (Seen a lot of that when picking up my toddler). At 1st I didn't say anything as I am overprotective of my child, but his other parent went to stop by mid day with some lunch and over heard the teacher using that same tone. Immediately we had a group meeting and the teacher apologized and stated that she was a bit stressed due to a behavioral health child acting out in class, and she took it out on my toddler and the other children, I am still wondering what that had to do with my child?!?? Or why this teacher wasn't given some assistance. I also asked how many times does this happen, as the director continued to use the behavioral child as an excuse to the behavior of the staff. My child was removed immediately. Nothing is worth my child's well being. These teachers and directors need to meet these children where they are. If they are in need or talking you should bend down to their eye level to console them or understand them so you can assist them with care. My son said he was scared to go into the school on his 2nd day. I assumed he was hesitant with a new place and would adjust. I was wrong!!!!! I feel like I also failed my choke because if I had listens to him after day 1, I should have save him the exposure of mental, emotional and verbal abuse!!! i beg any parent that loves their child not to drop them off at Scott swamp RX in Farmington ct.
