Before & After School

The RKC Approach

Rainbow Kids Club is run by a staff of highly qualified people who enjoy working with children. Our staff strives to meet the developmental needs of the children by creating an interesting, flexible and caring environment. RKC staff are an integral part of the classrooms and work closely with the teaching staff, providing classroom and playground supervision while teachers take lunch breaks.

What this approach means for children is security and continuity - adults they know and trust throughout the course of their day. Children are free to explore and thrive. RKC's goal is to respect the children's time outside the classroom as one of self-directed exploration and play. Children are placed in one of five general age groups and move between the gym, playground and assigned classrooms during the course of the morning and/or afternoon. The Giddens Gym allows for large-motor play on rainy days.

Varied activity areas with daily project opportunities allow children a range of choices: art, tae kwan do, playground, social games, reading and relaxing, and more. Homework Club allows the elementary age students time (and assistance, if requested by the child) to meet their academic responsibilities, which equally supports working parents, allowing families more time together in the evenings. RKC also provides a strong Day Camp program during school breaks.

Rainbow Kids Club is available to all Giddens families.
