Our high quality afterschool program offers children a friendly and enjoyable environment. Children are provided a healthy snack and work on their homework daily before participating in enrichment activities. Younger children, who may not have homework, read daily to improve their literary skills. Computer access for homework completion, research and recreation is available at the three sites. Throughout the academic year and summer RCDC recognizes the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEAM) positive influence on children’s education. Rainbow’s After School Staff and educational partners play a key role in further advancing children’s interest in STEAM, instilling a “Growth Mindset”, and reinforcing the importance of health and nutrition. Additional enrichment programs include art, music, and cultural programs.
The Center’s goal is to have a positive impact on children’s lives in order that they continue to successfully develop their academic and social emotional growth to ultimately complete high school, attend college, and become a contributing citizen in the workplace. Rainbow makes is it easy for parents to enroll their child/children by offering an income eligible sliding fee scale and we accept vouchers.
We look forward to providing your children with high quality afterschool services and expanding our partnership with Learning First Charter Public School.
