The advantage Rainbow Academy grads have when they enter elementary school is not just "academic,” it’s social, emotional and cognitive – all important for elementary school success.

Our children progress naturally because they’re constantly stimulated to be creative and curious, to learn and have fun learning. By instilling in them a desire to learn rather than pushing them to learn “advanced” material, we’re better preparing them for the tough challenges ahead.

Our comprehensive curriculum reflects Rainbow Academy’s goal of nurturing the development of the whole child. We make learning fun by integrating thematically-based units into all areas including Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Arts, Imaginative Play and so much more.

So if it’s dinosaur week at Rainbow Academy, we don’t load them up with information about dinosaurs; we bring learning to life through dinosaur crafts projects, dinosaur snacks, dinosaur stories, dinosaur counting, dinosaur games, and don’t be surprised your child knows the letter “D” by the end of the week! Years of experience with infants and young children, as well as current knowledge of research and learning methods, have taught us how to make playtime and learning time one and the same.

As your child becomes older, American Sign Language is incorporated into the Reading Readiness program, adding a new dimension to learning. By seeing the letters, signing the letters and hearing the sounds, children learn the alphabet through a multi-sensory approach which often includes music.

Music education during early childhood years provides a wealth of opportunities to connect all areas of a child's development: social, cognitive, emotional, motor and language. Studies have shown that early musical training helps to develop brain areas involved in language and reasoning and as a result, children perform better in reading and math when they begin elementary school.

Rainbow Academy Music Program creates a rich, dynamic and fun learning environment that offers many possible routes for children to explore as they grow in awareness and curiosity about music. Classes incorporate singing, an introduction to musical instruments, sign language in music, music theory taught through familiar songs, and introductions to diverse styles of music. In addition to your child's weekly class with a music instructor, your child's teacher will reinforce music lessons into their plans infusing new energy into learning activities.

Through our parent communication, you learn what your child is learning, and we encourage you to practice signing, reading, singing and rhyming with your child at home. There are so many ways to become involved in your child’s education at Rainbow Academy.
