It seems like only yesterday that a new school year got underway. Now, here we are nearing the end of another calendar year.
The pre-school children have settled in. They thoroughly enjoyed their October outing to the pumpkin patch. We had a great turnout of parents joining us on the field trip, which made for a fun and happy experience. The school bus ride alone was a major part of the adventure!
As well, the school-age children from the after-school program are happy to be back in familiar surroundings with continuing educators and friends they missed over the summer holidays.
One of the wonderful experiences for educators and families is the continuity enjoyed at Rainbow Kidschool: continuity of educators year after year and of families when children are enrolled as pre-schoolers and continue through Rainbow’s kindergarten-age and school-age after-school programs. Children can begin their Rainbow experience at two-and-a-half years of age and still be a part of the Rainbow family at 10 years. Having siblings join in keeps that continuity going.
Rainbow Kidschool offers a morning pre-school program for children from two-and-half to four years of age. The program operates from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes a variety of indoor activities, as well as outdoor fun and gym time. A healthy morning snack is provided as well as a nutritious catered lunch.
At the end of the school day, school-age children aged four to 10 attend the after-school program which operates from 2:30 to 5:30 p.m. each day. This program also provides indoor and outdoor activities, as well as a healthy snack.
Rainbow Kidschool offers a full-day program for kindergarten and school-age children on PD Days, Christmas Break, March Break and for several weeks in July.
