Rainbow Day Care - Infants

I have a 5 year old and 2 year old currently enrolled in Rainbow, and plan to enroll my newborn later this year. My first child enrolled in 2019, so we have seen quite a few changes at the center over the last 5 years. The current staff and management are fantastic - my children are happy to go to "school", and I feel that I and my children have great relationships with the staff and the new director, Ms. Sharon. Further, I am pleased with the policy changes and staff updates that the center has undergone since late last year, and the increase in leadership from the parent board. From updated curriculum to colorful new classrooms, our family feels that Rainbow is a truly welcoming and nurturing environment, and we are happy to bring our children here every day.

Under the new management (Ms. Sharon) and current set of teachers, the daycare has improved significantly. I have a 4.5 year old (at this daycare for 3 years) and 1.5 year old (at this daycare for 1+ year), and this is the best it's been in our time here. The current set of teachers are wonderful. They are easily the best thing about this place. They work well together which creates a great environment for the kids. With the new leadership & management, along with the current teachers, I would definitely recommend Rainbow Daycare to other families.

I strongly encourage you to find another daycare facility. Trust and integrity are essential characteristics that you should expect from the relationship between yourself and those responsible with watching your children; unfortunately, I can have no trust in Rainbow Daycare as they've shown and extreme lack of integrity. From lost tuition payments (over $1,500) to broken promises and attempted shakedowns. My experience with Rainbow Daycare has been truly nightmarish. We were so fortunate to find a new daycare on short notice. I understand that options are limited and Daycare facilities feel that they hold all the cards (and with year long wait-list, they probably do) but I strongly strongly strongly caution against sending your children here unless it's your last resort.

Our eldest child started at Rainbow Day Care in the Spring of 2021 and is currently enrolled in Pre-K while our youngest child started in the Winter of 2023 and is in the Yellow Class (young toddlers). The Center has undergone a number of good transitions both in terms of staffing and policy that have immensely improved the educational experience of the children and relationships with the parent/caregiver community. The Staff genuinely love and care for each child and their development. Every effort is made to make sure that parents/caregivers are involved and kept in the loop. What sets Rainbow apart is the fact that it's a parent co-op and the Director of the Center works closely with a parent Board of Advisors (many of whom have children that currently attend or have attended Rainbow). We feel fortunate to have found Rainbow during the height of the pandemic and even more so now as we continue to see only positive improvements. The Staff and parent/caregiver community is welcoming and inclusive and most of all, we know that our children and happy and well taken care of by the staff and teachers. We would happily recommend Rainbow to anyone looking for childcare.

I'm a bit cautious about where my baby is going to daycare. My experience with Rainbow was okay at best. The classrooms and the outside playground are large and well equipment. The staff as a whole are are extremely unorganized and the facility is kinda gross. I felt lost about who was actually caring for my child. I think most of the teachers are only "teacher assistance and not actual teachers". The "lead teacher" Martha, who is the one who does the correspondence with parents, is extremely disgruntled and angry. Everytime I had to interact with her she was mad, short tempered and snappy. At first I gave her the benefit of the doubt and thought she was having a bad day, but the very bad attitude continued, I became very anxious about having to ask any questions about my child. Also the classroom "circle time" was the children sitting around a tablet watching YouTube. I wouldn't consider watching a tablet and educational tool, my child can do that at home. This daycare is okay and if you have absolutely no other option I would consider it.
