Program
At Rainbow Playschool we encourage learning through hands-on activities and experimentation. Teachers play, model, and engage with children by scaffolding their interests, learning styles and abilities, and creating inspiring environments that support early childhood development.Our Playschool aligns the curriculum with the Vermont Early Learning Standards while adapting experiences to support the full participation of each and every child to realize their full potential and promote successful outcomes.We believe every child has their own unique passions, strengths, and needs that should be nurtured, celebrated and supported. We believe that child-directed free play and time in nature is essential to early childhood development. All children learn through play and when they are allowed the freedom to explore in our sensory rich environments and make their own choices, they develop greater independence, ignite their curiosity, learn compassion, build personal resilience and positive relationships with their environment and their community.
