Overview
Rainbow Station is a child care center of a different color.
If you're searching for a quality child care franchise, you're not alone. Millions of parents are, too. Despite the fact that the number of centers has more than doubled since 1977, the concept of quality child care has yet to catch on.
Only six percent of child care centers nationwide meet the accreditation standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. That means only six percent offer low child-teacher ratios, teach children how to learn, follow a curriculum that emphasizes individual interests and talents, and offer an environment where children are happy, relaxed and involved with play.
Products & Services
 | Preschool children (0-5 years) seeking quality early childhood education. Our degreed or certified teachers provide quality early learning experiences while our nurses oversee the health and safety of all children, families, and employees. Children (Kindergarten through fifth grade) needing afterschool recreation and summer camp programs. Creative curriculum planning geared toward the needs of the older child has been the hallmark of our afterschool programs. We know that, developmentally, the school aged child is more content in his/her own space away from the "babies". The more distant the space, the more content the child. Children with learning challenges requiring individualized educational interventions. Using a team approach, experts from the community, parents, and Rainbow Station teachers and nurses work together to maximize each child's learning potential. Children with acute, mild illnesses excluded from their usual school or childcare arrangement. The Get Well Place, an infirmary for mildly ill children, is unique to Rainbow Station and provides the only services of its kind in the Richmond area and is one of approximately 325 sick care facilities in the United States. Children with chronic special health care needs--particularly those needing medical interventions. Currently children with medical needs represent approximately ten percent [10%] of the enrolled student population. Depending on their medical condition and the level of nursing supervision required, special needs children are admitted directly to the classroom or to the "well room", "R & R", in the Get Well Place. |
