Rainbow Road Preschool

Our Curriculum
The Rainbow Road program is based on a two-year curriculum. We do not do the same units of interest two years in a row (ex: trees, dinosaurs, transportation, etc.). This insures that our returning students will be learning and doing new things. Basic skills such as colors, shapes, numbers, etc. are taught throughout all the units each year. Three and four-year olds attend classes two day each week, and the four and five-year olds who will be attending Kindergarten the following year attend three classes each week. Morning classes are held from 9:00-11:30am and afternoon classes from 12:30-3:00pm. Tuesday and Thursday, our classes are mixed age groupings that provide a wonderful environment for each individual child. On Fridays, only the Pre-K students attend, enabling us to focus more on name-writing and other activities in preparation for Kindergarten. Daily activities begin with circle time. It is a time for talking and singing and children are encouraged to share with the group. We discuss our plans for the day and move on to “free play” time during which the children choose activities and toys. We have a large selection of toys that are changed on a regular basis. These are toys chosen to help develop fine motor skills, math skills, role-playing, etc. This time also includes each child’s turn to work one-on-one or in a small group with teachers on craft projects, games, and other learning activities. We have ample space for gross motor activities, such as large ball play, parachute play, active play and more. Snack time is a part of our daily routine, also, and we end each session with a story and discussion.
