Activities include both instructional and recreational swimming (heated pools), horseback riding, ball sports, ga-ga, arts and crafts, music, dance, playgrounds, field hockey, soccer, gardening and nature, as well as indoor activities (computers, games, science) in our air conditioned building. Themed weeks of "Spirit Weeks" provide character building and cooperative play as children participate in games and activities to accumulate points and teamwork.Special Days occur throughout the summer.
Services
Alternating Days at Elementary School: offering 2,3,4 or 5 days a week for children who attend Elementary School that is not 5 days per week or not every week. Online learning support will exist from a Rainbow Academy teacher. Students will also experience the outside grounds of Rainbow Academy through out the year.
The Kindergarten Program at Rainbow Academy is designed to provide young children with activities in language, mathematics, creative arts, science, social studies, social living, fine and gross motor areas. Children have opportunities for reading and writing, asking questions, seeking answers, and critical thinking in a full day kindergarten and/or half day kindergarten.
Rainbow Academy's summer day camp provides an exhilarating recreational program for children through 12 years of age! Our camp for the "little ones" is sprinkled with activities filled with fun! Swimming in a wading pool with a fountain and toys, a playground created just for toddlers, and inside learning centers with the best in early childhood education are delightful!
Owners: Linda and Mario LaGrotte obtained a "dream" location to live, raise a family and open a school (just across the driveway) in the summer of 1980. Carousel Farm's Educational Center began as a summer program serving the educational and recreational needs of children with developmental disabilities.

We love Rainbow Academy! When we moved in the winter they were able to accommodate my 2 little ones and made our transition to a new school very smooth. The teachers, staff and other families are wonderful. We’ve received great guidance relating their education as well, which is important to us! We also sent our kids to Rainbow Academy for summer camp this past summer and they had an amazing experience. They made so many new friends and loved being outside and having so many different activities like swimming, horseback riding, tennis, yoga and more!

I was very exited to see this school for my children due to the reviews online, but when I went to the school and spoke to Dan (owner), I found him to be cold towards my children. The price of this school is as expensive as a private school and the fact that this individual did not let us see inside the barn (even after hours based on Covid) where the kids learn and interact was unacceptable. But, Dan kept pushing us to enroll our child as our research seemed silly to him - I don't trust this school. It seems to me Dan was more about the money for Rainbow Academy rather than giving a happy, peaceful

We were recommended Rainbow Academy by several neighbors when we moved to the area a few years ago. This school is a gem and we are so fortunate to have it in our area! The grounds are large with multiple playgrounds and fields for sports, farm animals that the kids get to interact with, a gardening area that the kids use, a music garden. and different age-level pools for the summer. The staff are warm, friendly, talented individuals and treat everyone like family. They are also great with communication - very important during these times. Highly recommended for a unique experience that you can

Our daughters have grown up at Rainbow Academy from the toddler room through Kindergarten. Each year, we've interacted with kind, friendly, and professional teachers/aides who deeply care about all the children and work to provide a safe and fun learning environment. The administrative staff is stellar and quick to respond to needs, being flexible and helpful. And the school grounds are phenomenal — a beautiful campus that is utilized down to the last square inch to create magical learning spaces for the children. I truly can't say enough good things about Rainbow — the list is too long!

Rainbow Academy is fabulous! My son and daughter attended camp in the summer here for several years. The activities and swimming lessons were among the high points, but rising to the top is the amazing staff! This Fall, Rainbow Academy outdid themselves by offering a classroom for elementary students doing virtual learning. It has been exactly what our family needs - my kids love going and I am able to work during the day. I don't know what I'd do without Rainbow!!

We have been sending our kids here for years. You will never find a place better than Rainbow Academy. They have a friendly staff that communicates well with parents, top notch teachers, and a fun filled environment that offers many more amenities than your average child care facility. I love the fact they offer summer camp too. Rainbow is the best.

We've been thrilled with Rainbow Academy for more than 2 years now & have recommended it to quite a few friends with little ones, too. Kids spend their days having awesome outdoor adventures & get so much personal attention. Our son looks forward to going there & we get to see photos of him throughout the day. We highly recommend it!

Rainbow Academy has felt like a second home for my son. They treat my child as their own, and care about his well being, too. My son has learned so much in the 2 and 3 year old room, and surprises me with new things he has learned at school. It’s wonderful to watch him learn and grow, and interact with farm animals, too! I wouldn’t trust any other place to send my son.

I cannot recommend this school enough to people. We have been using a “school” daycare up the street and never felt 100% great about leaving our children there. Everyone here at rainbow has made us feel 100% safe. This is a school environment not a glorified babysitter feel you get from other places. I have so many stories why you should send your children here it would take forever to explain. Everyone from owner down makes you feel like family. Thank you Dan, Mario, Linda, Cheryl, Jess, Kristen, sandy, Jen, both Diane’s, Heather, Regina we love you guys.
