We provide developmentally appropriate interest areas that encourage the child to explore and engage the environment on a first-hand basis. This creates a foundation for children to learn, grow and develop at their own pace. The core of the curriculum emerges from the curiosity, awareness, and interests of the children that blend together to form relevant learning experiences that bring significance to problem solving, social skills, nurturing and creativity.
Children are free to choose from a variety of teacher-directed and child-initiated activities and interest areas, including exploring sand and water; dramatic play; stories; language and literacy activities; science exploration; block building; manipulative and numeric development; art and carpentry materials; music and movement; clay and play dough; sculpting; painting; collage work; cooking; gardening and a variety of active outdoor exploration. All of these activities are designed to promote high self-esteem, independent learning, friendships, and foster lifelong feelings of competence.
Comprehensive support services will include parent education, health services, case management services, mental health services, and information about and referral for other types of services needed by families.
Our center has an international and multicultural population. We cherish and encourage contributions from families of diverse backgrounds.
Rainbow LAUP refrains from religious instruction or worship of any kind but Rainbow C.D.C provides christian worship service.
