The School House

We enrolled our 4 year old here 3 months ago and we could not be happier!! First of all, they don’t harass you about potty training by 2–they actually acknowledge that kids learn at different stages and that sometimes they’re not there in time for preschool. Not to mention that kids learn from watching other kids, so if your only child hasn’t picked it up entirely, the best place to go is school. They get that and are so kind and encouraging with her. That alone deserves an applause here in Sarasota. Ms. Eliza, Ms. Sam and Ms. Alexis are some of the sweetest, funnest and most caring people we’ve ever met at a school. Our daughter’s confidence and self esteem have gone WAY up since being here (we noticed after just the first week), and that’s got to be because she feels nurtured and encouraged. The first week she was there, Ms Sam noticed that our daughter was showing signs of being scared of the rain sound on the white noise machine (for nap time), and they immediately changed it. The fact that they were paying attention to her body language and could see her disliking the sound, tells me so much; She didn’t vocalize her fear, they were spending time with her and actually paid attention to her specific needs. She’s not just a number, she’s a special little person that they actually care about. I’ve witnessed them treating all of the kids in that same way; I’ve even seen them all carrying and hugging whoever needs the extra tenderness, for well over an hour, while I was touring and helicopter-parenting those first few weeks. That’s pretty amazing for us since we haven’t had the best school experiences, prior to here. The facility itself is brand new and very well put together. The toys and tools have a Montessori like background (they’re wooden, tactile, encourage creative thinking, etc) and they’ve done a great job of creating fun art sections, math areas, reading nooks and have two outdoor areas. It’s CLEAN and the things in there are purposeful and new. Between the staff that genuinely cares for my kid and the beautiful little facility, it’s obvious that the owners are ever present and want a place the community can be proud of. I’m SO glad we found them and I hope our munchkin can grow with them through VPK.

Rainbow school is very convenient to many families

Hello, good morning, I would like to know if my 8-year-old daughter can enter.
