The staff of the Rainbow Workshop and Learning Center has always prided themselves with being well trained professionals in the field of early childhood education. We continue to stay informed and educated in all areas of new growth and development within the realm of the latest and most updated information in this field that is available. This is done through a series of on-going classes, workshops, presentations acquired through live and zoom presentations during each year.
We are here to educate, and help your child to grow through the most formative years of your child's life. It is the ultimate goal of this early learning center and all who will spend time with your child to insure that each day is an adventure and has a true and lasting experience for your child.
