Curriculum © Our teachers meet, and most often exceed, the DCFS teacher qualification requirements. © Rainbow requires that all staff become certified in First Aid and CPR. The Department of Children & Family Services requires that only one person on staff be certified in the above. © Rainbow pays salaries that are the highest in the industry. This means that © Rainbow has two Directors on staff to help evaluate children with possible special needs and to help the parents seek the appropriate special services for their child. © Our curriculum is not sent to us by a corporate office. Our curriculum is developed by a highly qualified and experienced teaching staff and our Directors and Executive Director. © Our Directors hold monthly curriculum meetings with our Preschool Teachers Co-Op and Infant/Toddler Teachers Co-Op to discuss: o Themes for the coming month o Field trips (in-house and out of the center) o Special days such as Grandparent’s Day, Johnny Appleseed Day, etc. o Celebrations o Curriculum ideas and/or adaptations © Rainbow’s teacher resources are limitless. Our teacher’s have access to a myriad of educational internet sites and teacher’s manuals and curriculum programs. © Our curriculum programs include: o Jolly Phonics o Hooked on Phonics o LeapFrog SchoolHouse o LeapFrog SchoolHouse Computer Assessment Program o Creative Curriculum o © Parents receive a monthly newsletter and calendar to keep them informed on what activities are planned for the month within their child’s classroom and the Center. © Every classroom receives monthly and/or weekly subscriptions to publications such as: o Weekly Reader o Pack-O-Fun o Family Fun o Ladybug Magazine o Ranger Rick o Baby Animals o Mailbox o National Geographic for Kids o Your Big Backyard o Kids Discover o Wonder Babies © Our teachers are given the tools to do their job effectively. o Art & craft supplies are abundant o The flow of incoming equipment and materials is constant |
