Beginning to read. Telling time. Adding and subtracting numbers. Kindergarten is an exciting milestone for your five year old, and our full day kindergarten program will more than meet your expectations.

Since your kindergartner will be preparing for first grade, we understand your concerns about readiness for elementary school. And when graduation time comes, we think you’ll agree your child has a considerable advantage, coming from Rainbow Academy.

While continuing our philosophy of “learning is fun,” our degreed teachers follow a diverse and detailed curriculum that meets yet strives to exceed all New Jersey state requirements. Young minds are stimulated by bringing lessons to life with hands-on activities which are incorporated as part of the kindergarten learning centers.

Comprehension is key while kindergartners advance from words to reading and from counting to addition, but academics is not our only focus. Life skills are also reinforced such as respect, honesty and sharing with others. We continue with our thematically-based curriculum in which learning objectives are advanced along with the child’s development.

To learn how academics, life skills, as well as physical development are implemented, here's a look at a typical day.

Knowledge of a five year old’s developmental milestones is critical, so that activities can be geared to help your child meet them. Although we attend to every child’s individual needs, the group experience is an important element of our program.

As the parent of a kindergartener, you’ll want to closely follow your child’s progress and know what’s happening in your little one’s week. So we provide you with detailed information in our Peek-of-the-Week.

And our working parents love our meal plan. But it's your choice, whether you decide to "brown bag" it or not, we offer you the option. You can select from the menu or select food alternatives.

“Big, bright, cheerful, caring, stimulating, responsive, organized, smart…those are a few words that come to mind when I think of Rainbow Academy kindergarten learning centers.”

The kindergarten classroom at Rainbow Academy is big and bright and cheery, with comfy furniture and even child-size bathroom facilities right in the room, making it easy for children to use the potty. To see more, take our virtual tour or even a real tour of one of our kindergartens.

With waiting lists at some of our New Jersey center locations, you may want to consider enrolling early to secure your child’s name on the list. Enroll now in one of our full-day kindergarten programs.
