Don't take you're kids to this place. There's never enough teachers in the class and they are all…read moreso lazy. 1 teacher there never gets out of her chair. The worst part of this place is the owner, she is rude and disrespectful and will talk about you to other parents. How ignorant is that. All the teachers there have their kids attending. One time my kid got hit multiple times by the owners kid and we had to find out from another kid that attended there. They will not write up their kids. They are closed on almost every single holiday including mlk day, halloween, memorial day. Etc. There is almost nothing closed on those days unless you have a job for the goverment or city or bank job. They also charge the same or more then anyone in town and honestly you'd be spending your money better anywhere else.

I enjoy helping the teachers with copies and laminations as needed and the children really enjoy having moms participate in some of the classroom activities. I appreciate the fact that parents that have the opportunity are encouraged to play a part in the classrooms and not always take a backseat in their education.

Having come from an urban environment where people really don't care for anyone but themselves, it stunned me to feel the kindness and gentle nature of the students and staff. We're not gushy folks, but it's hard to resist the loving and creative vibe from the school and kids - they are really a family. They are ever ready to help and always look out for each other. If someone is sad or hurt, there's always another child and staff member there to make them feel better. It's part of their nature. The school's director, Kit Hays, is passionate and dedicated to the students and families. She pours her heart into developing the most creative and thoughtful curriculum as well as carefully weaving in modernity and diversity. Not only are the staff skillfully qualified as Montessori instructors, they truly love teaching and nurture all their students. Students are encouraged to develop their existing strengths and are supported to take on new challenges when they are ready (like reading) - really meeting kids where they are and helping them to shine. Kids are not forced into learning; it seems like they sort of bloom when they are ready. Using this gentle approach, it's amazing to see how many kids are reading and counting at such a young age. They integrate many aspects of learning into their daily routine so there's no real separation between laughter and learning - it's one and the same. Even when they play games, there's a thoughtful educational element embedded in the fun. You can tell the kids enjoy every second they are there while, even when they are in "work time". At one point my daughter was having a difficult time going to school, weepy and clingy when it was time to go. Each day when we arrived at school, Ms. Kit and a handful of children were there to greet my daughter - a welcome committee! They literally embraced her and reminded her that she was an integral part of the family. We feel so lucky to have been able to join the Rainbow family (no wonder there's a waiting list every year!) and know our daughter has the educational foundation and confidence to succeed in her entire school career and life. We are ever thankful for all they have given our family. Our daughter is inquisitive, open-minded, thoughtful and thirsty for knowledge and challenges - just like all the children lucky enough to be part of the Rainbow family.
