Rainbow Montessori School's program is based on a unique balance between the benefits of the Montessori method and the ideals of traditional nursery school.
RMS accepts children ages PK 2 1/2 through full day Kindergarten.
Our classes are grouped by age, with a great teacher /child ration (maximum 14 children with 2 teachers for older students, 8:2 ration for the 2 1/2 class). In addition to a full Montessori program, we offer weekly yoga classes, filed trips, arts programs.
Before and Aftercare are available. We invite you to come in for a tour to see our wonderful school. Please call us for an appointment.
