Preschool & Pre-Kindergarten
Ages 3-5 years
Children in our preschool program are actively involved in a curriculum which stresses the social, emotional, physical and academic aspects of their development. Younger children are taught skills for building strong self-reliance and positive social interaction. Children ages 4-5 prepare for kindergarten through exposure to a variety of academic units. Our professional staff of teachers and aides have a common goal: to provide children with an atmosphere in which they can develop a positive view of themselves, which could help them in the years ahead.

Rainbow Castle (Child Care Center)
Ages 2-5 years
Rainbow Castle provides an in-house kindergarten program for children who are five years old by September 1, 2012. The program, designed to prepare children for first grade, meets for 2-1/2 hours each day. Report cards, conferences and graduation are all part of our kindergarten program. Since class size is much smaller than that of a public school, your child receives more attention, and learning is easier in a small group setting.
