Apparently they allow any one to pick up your child without your knowledge I had came to pick up my son and saw that there was a different name on the sign in sheet I thought it was an accident that another parent wrote in I called the director but she wasn't in and I left a message with a woman who didn't understand what I was calling about she assured me she would leave a message for the director. I never received a call back and had to call again. When I called again and asked who picked my son up the other day and dropped him off she wasn't aware either ! She said dad had called and added two others to our son's pick up list. no one informed me I guess people are just allowed to add whoever they want to the pick up list. She added them without my knowledge and as a parent, you should know who your child is picking up it's unfortunate that they do not care for the children safety that they are supposed to be looking after. read more

I couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care this preschool provided for my two children. From the very first day, the staff made us feel welcomed, supported, and completely at ease. They treated my kids with such genuine kindness, patience, and attention that it truly felt like a second home. read more

Our kids absolutely adored Ms. Gabby. She was able to connect with them and made them feel comfortable. She is an amazing teacher and the school is lucky to have her. read more

I am a very busy father and take care of my 4 year old and my 2 year old due to my wifes work schedule. I was in desperate need of finding a good Daycare for my 2 year old and a neighbor of mine referred me over to Rainbow Academy. I had visited other daycare centers around the area but unfortunately just didn't feel a connection. The moment I scheduled an appointment and met up with Gabby here at Rainbow, she made me and my daughter feel very welcomed and at ease. Her charming, genuine personality won over my daughter and I just knew I was at the right place. My daughter has been at this Daycare for over a month now and never has she cried for daddy or wanted to go home. She feels very safe and happy here and I couldn't be more grateful to the kind staff and the director Evelyn for making my daughter feel at home. Thank You Rainbow Academy read more

Started my toddler son 3 months ago. I was very nervous and anxious at first since this is his first time at a school/daycare. Ms Evelyn, the director, was very warm and sweet upon meeting. My son adjusted almost immediately and absolutely loves his teacher, Ms Chanthani. She is very caring and sweet and they do many fun and educational activities throughout the day. She sends me updates and pictures daily. I couldn't be happier with my son being here. He has been more social and looks forward to coming here every day! read more

My son has been attending Rainbow Academy for almost a year now. He loves all the teachers and staff here. Communication is great. Any questions or concerns I've had has always been quickly addressed. Everyone has been so kind and patient with him. I love seeing how comfortable and happy he is here. read more

I was a little worried in the beginning for my daughter to start daycare since she's very attached to me, but Ms. Evelyn and Ms. Lily made it very welcoming for us. My daughter is 2.5 years old and only took about two weeks to adjust. She now runs to Ms. Lilly when I drop her off and it was such a comforting feeling. Highly recommend Rainbow Kids Academy :) read more

My son has been attending RKA for 2 years. When he started out he was very shy, reserved and only communicated 1-2 word sentences. Since he's been with RKA he has definitely came out of his shell, making friends, and speaking tons! We love all of the staffs here. They're all friendly and my son has grown to be a confident and caring young boy under their care. My son currently only attends part time now since transitioning to TK at a public school, but he still loves going to RKA during after school hours to be with his friends. It's also a huge plus that his teacher helps him with his homework after school and encourage him to learn! read more

It has been a year since my son last attended this school. Due to his needs, rainbow kids can't provide one on one on my child and I understand the concerns they may have for my kid. They helped me during those times when I was working and attending school at the same time. Ms Evelyn made it clear to me with regards to my expectations and I love that we had a clear communication with regards to my son's care. She wants the best for all the kids that they're taking care of. Another year has passed and i'm already done with school and Ms Evelyn recommended me to another home day care which my son really loves going. I wouldn't even finish my school if it wasn't for that place. Thank you so much for everyone that took care of my little boy. I would recommend this school to all parents out there! read more

I just want to say this school changed my son's life .. he went from fearing school to loving school . Ms Cheryl was a wonderfully teacher she created a bond with every child including mine . My son would follow her everywhere that's how I knew he felt safe with her . Can't thank her and this school enough ! read more

I'm so happy i found this day care. the director is great with my kid and with the school. she will answer any questions I have and I feel that my toddler is in good hands. my toddler is in miss Lily's class. she is great. she does special themed activities for the kids. she's bilingual so she is able to do some lessons in Spanish which I appreciate since I want my kid to be bilingual. I feel comfortable that my toddler is good when he is in miss Lilis class. She is friendly with the kids but also firm in a professional caring way. it is a good balance to have for a development child. overall I am glad I found this place. thank you! read more

This daycare is absolutely amazing I can't think of any other words to put it in. My children where here for about 1 yr and half , the staff is incredible you could not find anything better than this daycare to leave your children at. All the staff made me feel safe and made my children feel Loved , I hated leaving but since we moved the commute was to hard but if I could give this daycare more than five stars I would. I want to give a shout out to the director Ms.Evelyn for helping me through the whole process and giving me so much support and understanding. I also want to thank all the beautiful teachers who helped my babies, shout-out to Ms. Liliana, Ms.Elizabeth and Ms. Kimberly. If you want to see your child strive in excellence send them here they'll thank you later. read more

My child attends this daycare. The teachers are so sweet and attentive. I put my child in daycare to help him improve his socialization skills and I gotta say it has worked. They have flexible hours. read more

This school seemed like the ideal place for my son as when he first started the then director Kristel would keep me in the loop by calling me on a daily basis in regards to my son's day at daycare. Fast forward a couple of months and Kristel is gone and there's no director at the school for a couple of weeks leaving the teachers in charge. So goes it with this academy, one director comes and goes and no explanation is ever given as to why or any notification of any changes. They are currently on their 4th director since my son began going here in June 2020. Aside from this, some of the teachers are plain lazy and inept. My son has a speech delay and I made this known to the teachers as soon as I found out. They said they would work with him and help him any way they can. My son has one time too many come home dirty and scratched. Namely the teacher miss Evelyn is the one I have had the most issues with, we will get back to this in a moment. My son being speech delayed has had issues transitioning from his toddler class to the preschool class none of which were made known as a persistent issue by the teachers until a couple weeks ago. Miss Evelyn called me one day while I was at work to let me know my son was hitting and was an issue and that they would have to cut his hours from 8-12. I let her know that my son is speech delayed which causes some of his behavioral issues and we are in the process of getting him into a special program to help him. To this she responded that, that wasn't why my son lashed out, mind you she has no degree or education in child behavior. She then proceeded to let me know that it may be time for us to find a new daycare. All of this was said to me without any previous sit down or serious discussions to my sons behavior. I was made to feel guilty and upset over something that I had no idea was even going on. When I spoke to the director, she kept repeating how they want to work with us and don't want to just let my son go and that they were going to keep us up to speed on everything. After all these discussions, I was set thinking we have come to accordance with each other in how we would move forward. Lies. I picked up my son the next day and nobody spoke to me, my son was just handed off to me in a PAMPER 3 sizes to small (he is potty trained and can tell you he needs to use the restroom), his socks were full of pee, and he had scratches on his arm of which none of the teachers brought to my attention. ALSO, they one time sent him home with a pooped blanket that didn't even belong to him. Shortly after he was hospitalized with a stomach bug. OVERALL, my entire point is that this daycare is a MESS. surely some kids can thrive in this environment and some parents probably won't mind as long as their child is happy but for me the entire experience has left me heartbroken that I let my son in the care of these people. read more

This is my daughters first time going to school and being around other kids her age so I was very nervous leaving her, but ms lily her teacher is so nice and she texts me pictures and keeps me updated while she's at school its a huge relief to see my daughter happy and playing while learning. She's comes home everyday singing a new song from school and she loves to tell me about all her new friends at school. read more

My son who has been going to Rainbow Kids for 5 months now. They made us feel comfortable by starting him in the toddler room to get acclimated and then transitioned him tot he pre-school class. His teacher, Ms. Lily, has been an amazing influence on him. He just loves her. She started the process in his potty training, developed further art skills and language development. He comes home singing songs and is generally happy, which makes me happy. Glad we found Rainbow Kids Academy. read more

Miss Lily and everyone from The Rainbow Kids Academy has been a godsend since enrolling my daughter here at the age of 18 months. They are extremely communicative and take precautionary measures to make sure everyone is safe. My daughter is always excited to go to daycare and spend time with Miss Lily and her classmates. She has shown exponential growth in such a short period of time. She started singing songs, counting, and spelling the alphabets. Enrolling my daughter at The Rainbow Kids Academy has been the best decision I could've made and I am truly thankful to everyone there as they are a part of our family. read more

With many unsuccessful attempts to place my 19 month old toddler in daycare/preschool. Rainbow Kids Academy was the only school that I felt safe for my daughter. Although my daughter have never been in daycare or been around other kids, she adapted so well in the care of her teacher Ms. Lily. She overcame her biggest fear being away from us because of Ms. Lily. I always get a text with pictures and updates on my daughter. Ms. Lily go above and beyond for her students. She's a really good and caring teacher! read more

We have been taking our son here for the past year and it has been nothing short of amazing. Ms Lily and staff have been very helpful and communicative on how our son is doing while in their care. Ms Lily does a great job creating a friendly environment and gets very creative with their daily activities. Highly recommend this academy based on how our son has been growing socially and also being more independent. read more

The thought of daycare had always scare me. I would hear horrible stories from friends or people I met through mom's group on facebook. But after talking to a friend, she recommended a school that she been sending her son to and he seem to love it there. Of course, after visiting other schools around my area and comparing prices and what each school had to offers. I decided to give Rainbow I try. I didn't want to have any written in stone contract so I asked if I can take my son there for a few days and I would pay weekly. And to my surprise, they agreed! It would so nice of them to work with us. My son of course cried but they calm him down and make him comfortable being there. Now there is no more tear during drop off and pickup. I am so happy. They have a monthly newsletter for parents which show their daily meals and what they going to do each day. I think they are having a summer enrollment promotion because some of the bigger kids have graduated. read more

My son turn 2 yesterday and has been attending Rainbow academy for months now and loves it , it's not only a daycare but a school. He has learn so much . I'm very happy , love all the teachers they have the patience and the experience my son loves staying during day to play with friends and learn something new every day plus the tuition is low compare to other places that don't have the space and the feeling of family and school at once. Love that it's actually a real school alone but for toddlers and preschoolers and they offer after school care too . read more

We have been attending rainbow kids for almost a year now and we could not be happier with the directors and teaching staff. In particular, we would love to give a special shout out to Ms. Cheryl. Our daughter instantly felt a connection with her. She is extremely caring and thoughtful with each student. She really makes our daughter feel that she is getting special attention and we Love that Ms. Cheryl provides a nurturing environment for everyone to learn and grow. You would be blessed to have this incredible role model for you child. Thank you again Ms. Cheryl, you are one of a kind. read more

When we first came to RKC we had a difficult time, adjusting with how they worked and change of teachers/directors. However, my son has been in RKC for more than a year now, and he is now with the PreK class- and the new and returning teacher, Ms. Cheryl is AMAZING! she always speaks with me about my son, letting me know about his day and what we need to work on. I really like her a lot and she's been very supportive of My son. We have a new baby on the way and he has been acting a bit different with some behavioral issues, however Ms. Cheryl has incredible patience and she makes him feel good. Ms. Lily is very nice as well, we really like her too, she worked with my son for awhile as well and my son has been doing so much better in his work at school. Ms. Evelyn is also there, always willing to speak with me and tells me her views on what I can do to help my son at home, I appreciate that a lot. So I do recommend this place, I know everywhere you go there will be issues but, with us we have had a good experience here and we will continue until our son graduates. We will be sad to say goodbye. read more

Our kids loved attending RKA! We have two sets of twins so the older two started at RKA when they were 3 and they were gracious in accommodating our second set of twins when they turned 18 months old. Ms. Cheryl is amazing and our kids really enjoyed the activities and friendships they made. Our 18 month olds warmed up very quickly to Ms. Jas. The only reason we left was because we were moving to a different city. read more

Sadly, more staffing changes and another director gone. Pulled my child because he deserves better than monthly teacher changes. When there is so much staff turnover, there's either a failure to treat staff well or there's a problem with screening new employees. Either way, facility lacks professional and owner doesn't model it either. Had a few nurturing teachers while there, but they are not there any longer. read more

I am so glad I enrolled my daughter in this day care she has learned so much. I was so nervous for my daughter to be around other kids but my daughter has learned to get along with others all thanx to the great staff this place has. My daughter is in the toddler class 2 year olds and they've taken the time to potty train her, they have nap time, snack and dinner. Their pricing is very reasonable and affordable. Best investment I've made is enrolling her at rainbow kids academy. They also provide you with monthly newsletter and their daily schedule. read more

My son really enjoys going to Rainbow Kids Academy. Miss Ariana is the new Director and has made some great changes to the aesthetics and classes. New tables and chairs in the outside dining area and classes, an extra gate, paint and a new seesaw for the playground. She is very hands on and involved. She has moved my 6 year old from the kindergarten class and in with the upper graders. He has become more mature now that he's not mingling with the younger kids. The school is secured with gates, a combination lock pad and cameras. This will be my sons last year but these past few months has prepared him for transitioning to public school. He will definitely be back for the winter, spring and summer breaks. read more

My daughter been at RKA since she was 2 1/2 years old now she's 9 1/2. Sure, there's many great teachers left the school, but none the less, we adapted and get to know the new teacher (s). We are grateful to have Ms. Cheryl back. She is so bubbly, have a wonderful personality, and great with my daughter. My daughter loves her and was happy that she came back to RKA. I was ecstatic when my daughter told me that Ms. Cheryl was back at daycare. She is the BEST! Also, we are thankful for Ms. Evelyn, she would pick up my daughter at her school every day so that I don't need to take off work to drive her to daycare. Ms. Evelyn had stuck around RKA for a long time and I am grateful that she is still there as well. Overall, we are happy with RKA and satisfied with the care that was given to my daughter all these years. read more

I had a really bad experience with this preschool! My 2 year old son came home one day with a bag of clothes leaking of urine! (keep in mind i sent him to school with pull ups and lots of extra ones in is back pack!). All afternoon he kept telling me how school was mean and he demonstrated to me a slap on his hand and he kept pointing at the potty. I kept asking him why is school mean? And he never changed his story, he kept repeating "school is mean and that teacher slapped his hand, and he kept pointing at the the toilet!" Let me tell you i was paying extra on his tuition for him to be getting potty trained! At this point, i went with my instinct and did not take him the next day. But i did call the school asking to speak to either the director or the owner. The teachers kept telling me they were not in at the moment. It was until Two days later that they called me back, so i scheduled a time that day to sit down and talk to them about the incident that was VERY important to me! Due to work i was not able attend, but my sons father did. To our surprise, they were very defensive once he told him the situation and told us to THINK WHATEVER WE WANT! (like really? how professional right?) They were so defensive about their teachers and kept coming up with excusing for them, They kept arguing upon each other. They said that it wasn't possible that they have a file for every incident that happens to each student. When asked to see our son's file, there was NOTHING documented! They did not have records of what their he are learning, improvements, what they ate, drink, and who is changing their diapers or potty training! None the less, there was no documentation on why his clothes were soaked in urine! After hours of going back and forth, it was decided that we were going to bring him in on Monday so our son could point out who had given him a slap in the hand and what teacher was being mean to him in the potty. We sat down and talked over the weekend and decided we did not want out son no where near that school anymore. So we decided to write a review on Yelp to inform other parents about our own experience. A few days later, we get a call from the school owner telling us to go pick our refund check with their attorney! So Monday comes and to our surprise AGAIN! We get to the attorney's office to see what is going on, and a very rude lawyer throws out an agreement on the counter and tells us in order to get our refund we have to take off our bad review on YELP! They were trying to buy us off WOW! Of course we walked out! There is no way money is going to fix this! Every time we ask our son about school, he tells us school is mean and tells us his story! he never changes it! I wrote this review to let other parents about our experience from this place. I would not want another mother and child going through this. A child should see school as fun and educational, NOT as a MEAN place where they get punished! read more

Great school. The first time I called Ms. Valerie, the school director, answered the phone and informed me times, days and cost of the school. She is so nice. All the teachers are. She insisted I come in and have a tour of the school and have our little girl come in and check it out as well. Everything is nice and clean and they have multiple rooms for all age groups. I was so impressed I enrolled her 2 days later and they waved the registration fee and lowered our monthly cost. My daughter has now attended the preschool for about a month now and she loves it. Drop off is from 7-9am and they have lunch around 11, nap time at 12-2, and an early dinner if they stay late enough around 4:30. School lunch and dinner is included in the tuition. They are really flexible with days as well. My daughter goes 3 days a week full time and if she's sick she attend any of the other 2 days. They have daily school activities and time outside as well. I love everything about it. And she comes home everyday with school work. Slowly but surely she's learning her alphabets and she's only 3. I recommend this school to anyone. They also do afterschool pick up and tutoring. That's a plus read more

DON'T TRUST THIS PLACE! Don't trust this place with your kids their drivers pick up students from Peters school and they drive reckless. I was driving out of drive way when one of their staff cutt me off driving so close too me and almost making me hit a parked car and all she was doing was laughing besides that she had children in the car and I had my son in the car also. Something has to be done with their drivers. Their staff are putting our kids in danger!! read more

I found rainbow kids academy on yelp about a year ago and I am so lucky! I was looking for a more structured environment for my daughter, this was the right place. Not only did my daughter love the playground but EVERY single staff member is amazing. They all know each child and their needs, they are involved and informative. The preschool classroom was just transformed into the most amazing learning center, my daughter is so happy to go to school every day. They also had earth day where they planted flowers with all the children. There isn't enough I can say, my daughters teacher Ms Brenda is so in tune with all the kids, she takes a special interest with each one. Me Rasika, the director, I can't say enough good things about her. She cares for all the children and what they have going on in their lives. She takes me phone calls to check up on my daughter and is always friendly and happy to hear from me, not ever annoyed. I would recommend rainbow kids academy to any parent looking for a great school where every one is family. read more

The school is also really clean and well maintained! I would definitely recommend this school to all my family and friends. read more
