Learning Through Play & Discovery

The staff at End of the Rainbow bases its philosophy on each child's total development. We provide an enriching atmosphere which enables the child to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.

Learning through play is the heart of our curriculum. Daily lesson plans are introduced through structured themes with the children's interest in mind. Working with children in small groups enables them to receive the personalized attention they need to excel.

"We are an extension of family, developing a partnership where sharing support, ideas and genuine love for children is of the utmost importance."
