My son went to rainbow canyon since he was 18 months old. I loved this daycare for my son as he loved his friends and all his teachers he had while he attended for almost 5 years. In March (when covid started) I called the daycare to let them know I felt safer keeping my son home and will keep them updated as I learned more about covid, my work… etc. They asked for 1/2 tuition to hold his spot which I agreed to. The following month I called to give them an update on what I was doing with my son and never got a phone call back. A week later I called and finally got a hold of the owners daughter

My oldest started Rainbow in 2004. She’s 18 now but my little one (8) still go after school and in summer time. Rainbow is like home and I think that’s the best word to describe how it feel when you drop your kid there. If you’re looking for a daycare that is the place to go. Been in business for many many years and it run by the same family. You won’t find any other daycare around like Rainbow.

I've never seen a preschool or daycare like this before! It is fantastic. It is super clean all the time, incredibly organized, and the owners always do what's right for the kids . They go so far beyond what is needed and they really love each child.
