The mission of the institution is to provide a safe, stimulating and positive environment that enhances and fosters the physical, emotional, cognitive, creative and social development of individual children through play-based learning and discovery. It also strives to promote the development of appropriate learning through love, respect, diversity, self-esteem, and equality in order to prepare children for the future.
In today’s contemporary setup, discipline and mannerism play a crucial role in the overall development of a child. Hence, every child needs to know proper table manners and other habits and must be taught discipline during activities that help them groom their overall personality. Like a tree that needs stable, strong roots to grow, the Pre-School also sets the foundation of value learning in their early years of education to act as a robust core for future. A child must also know about traditional values and cultural background along with the modern curriculum.
Every child at Rainbow Preschool International is introduced with all the basic manners and important habits. At the same time learns with initiatives like Step Ahead and Traditional Touch Programme, the Pre-School also emphasizes on life skills to prepare them for the world at large, besides mere academic education. Alongside, the health and hygiene are given the utmost priority and the food provided to daycare children is prepared in-house from high quality healthy products.
