I absolutely love this school. I have two daughters, one who is in her second year at Rainbow and one in third grade who also had three lovely years at Rainbow. When my eldest daughter went into first grade in public school it was almost a review for her. Rainbow had more than prepared her both educationally and emotionally. Every staff member is caring, helpful, and dedicated to ensuring that the children are secure in their learning. Jenelle Erickson is the director and she is very hands on, she personally handles every child. She is beyond dedicated to her students. My girls father, Clyde was one of the schools first students to attend Rainbow almost thirty years ago and Jenelle was very happy to have "alumni" children in attendance. I love Rainbow they were and are a huge part of our girls formative years and I am thankful for the wonderful job they do.
