Each of our programs is customized for the needs of children in that age group, and features Rainbow Station’s proprietary PLAYWORKS curriculum blending teacher-directed with child-initiated activities so that your child is stimulated, challenged, and having fun.

Wouldn’t you feel better if you knew exactly what your child was going to learn as well as how he or she was going to learn? of course, you would! That’s the promise of PLAYWORKS.

Fun and effective, PLAYWORKS establishes standards of learning for each age and developmentally specific class. Our teachers work with your child at his or her own pace to achieve these learning goals through thematic-based teaching and the self-discovery of play, and to measure progress through a variety of developmental assessments. Today, educators and parents recognize the value of learning through play, and are beginning to place greater emphasis on this critical concept for your child’s growth and development. at Rainbow Station, we have been doing it for decades.
