RAINBOW JUNCTION CHILD CARE CENTER

The quality of service went downhill with the new management. Children with special needs, behaviors or disabilities are no longer cherished and given the services they require. Staffing is not being maintained (likely due to the poor management style) leaving inconsistencies in the classrooms and therefore in the care that is provided to all children. My child specifically was requested to have an aide with her at all times (provided by us, which at that rate, I'm unsure why we would even pay for a daycare in the first place). Proper procedures were not followed with regards to the LIU, leading us to believe that management was not aware of the proper procedures, and when informed of the procedures that needed to be followed, they became uncooperative with the request for extra services (which they had initiated after threatening expulsion). If your kids are perfect angels, they may do well here. Very disappointed in the direction this center took recently. Our child was enrolled from Feburary 2016 through October 2018.

I heard very bad things about this place. Never had a child go there but I know people that did. The director is very mean to the children I was told.

The Rainbow Junction Preschool is very impressive. It is well organized and affordable. The teachers are great with the kids and there are many activities throughout the school year in which parents are invited to observe and/or participate.

I have experience in my job of traveling between many daycare and preschools to provide therapy to students receiving early intervention. In my travels I have seen many different teaching and caregiving approaches being used. I have been very pleased with the loving, caring, nurturing, and positively engaging approach Rainbow Junction staff use with the children they care for. When dropping by the daycare, I see teachers engaging in play with their students by sitting on the floor with them or at a table using manipulatives. The teachers always have positive things to say about each child. The staff seem to have a good understanding of child development and what types of behaviors are typical for the age of the children they are caring for, not becoming frustrated with them, but taking things in stride and even embracing the stage of development, yet taking opportunities to teach the children how to solve problems and learn emotional control. Everyday when my son wakes up in the morning he asks, excitedly, if he is going to school today! He absolutely loves going to school/daycare and is disappointed on the days he doesn't. My son is also surprising us all the time by what he has learned in school. They do a great job of integrating learning across all areas of development. When my son was 2 his teacher brought to my attention that she noticed a delay in his speech. She assured me that she would work on helping him develop it but that we may want to consider consulting with early intervention. Within 2 months his speech began to explode and we no longer had concerns about his communication. I highly recommend Rainbow Junction's daycare and I am excited to have my youngest son start attending once he turns two!
