What We Offer
Ohio Dept. of Education
Rainbow Steps' curriculum and procedures fully meet Ohio Department of Education standards for preschool education.
In fact, we're proud to have visiting student teachers and field-study students from Ohio University assigned to Rainbow Steps so that they study a first-class preschool first-hand: Rainbow Steps.
Here are just a few of the standards the we meet and exceed:
Exceed standards of 1 : 12 for teacher : student ratio. Rainbow Steps is much better, usually running 1:8.
Because we are not a day care center, your child is with the same teachers in the same room for the entire school year. There's no daily shifting of pupils from room to room to keep up with proper care ratios.
Testimonials
“After our son Daniel completed his years at Rainbow Steps, there was no other school considered for Sara, then Andrew, then Christian, and now our new baby. We're really in love with the people at Rainbow Steps” Dan & Kim Smith
“Public school teachers rave about the learning readiness of every Rainbow Steps pupil. How they do it, we don't know. But the results are what counts, and that's why all three of our kids attended. Rainbow Steps is the best.” Mindy & Jim Jackson
“It's a loving and caring school environment. Every one of our five children had the normal trepidations about starting school, but from Day One, each one just loved it there. We wouldn't think about any other school than Rainbow Steps” Amy & Sam LeMaster
“All of our four children are different, with different personalities. At Rainbow Steps, the teachers partnered with us to light up a tremendous interest in education in all four, and they make sure that every child has fun while they learn.” Denise & Bo Wilson
