What's New!
Welcome Spring!! The rain has ceased and the children are playing
outside and enjoying the sun!! The field trip to the Co-Op was
delightful. Thank you Northcoast Co-Op!!
Summer will be arriving soon and we are looking forward to playing in
the yard with bubbles and water play! We have fresh sand in the
sandbox, and many creations are being formed.
We are working on our yard to bring in more plants and forming a nice
stepping stones walkway through the play yard.
The garden is up and going. Tomatoes in the greenhouse and the
beds are formed. Garden work days are happening once a month.
Thank you to the volunteers!!
We are currently enrolling for summer and fall. Please call the school
to set up a visit!
Look for us on Facebook!
Referrals are the best advertisements. We appreciate them all!

Philosophy
Rainbow Bridge Preschool fosters a life-long love of learning by offering a
diverse preschool learning experience for children ages 2-5. Rainbow
Bridge Preschool focuses on the development of children and offers two
different program styles to suit different family needs. Rainbow Bridge
Preschool offers a Waldorf inspired classroom as a academic focused
preschool classroom. Both classrooms foster a play-based philosophy.
Rainbow Bridge Preschool is non-sectarian in its programs, admission
policies, employment practices and all other operations and will not
discriminate against any pupil on the basis of ethnicity, national origin,
gender or disability.
Huckleberry Classroom
The Huckleberry Classroom is our Waldorf inspired classroom. In the
Huckleberry Room we follow a rhythm of the day that is led by the teacher
and influenced directly by the children. The classroom being a community in
itself, the children are given many opportunities to assist the teacher and
their friends in the activities that shape the rhythm of the day. These
activities include baking, gardening, crafts and art projects, nature walks,
storytelling, puppet plays, soup making and circle time.
The themes that we observe in the Huckleberry Room are present all
around us in nature. Our nature table in the classroom reflects the seasons
on doors, as do our songs and versus at circle time. During nature walks, an
awareness and closeness to nature and it’s rhythms is nurtured outdoors.
The Huckleberry classroom is a play-based classroom where you will find
lovely wooden toys of many varieties. Children may be observed in the play
kitchen, dress-up area, or in the play frame acting out their imaginary scripts.
We offer blocks, river stones, puzzles and other manipulative for the children
to engage themselves with. Learning occurs naturally through play. At circle
time there are playful songs regarding the calendar and letter of the week
that are sung, although teacher facilitated academics are not present in the
Huckleberry Room. Children of the preschool age feel most secure in a
space that is warm, nurturing, and productive. This is what we strive for in the
Huckleberry Classroom.
Thimbleberry Classroom
The Thimbleberry classroom is a morning and afternoon program that is
both academic and play based. The curriculum in the Thimbleberry Room,
Mother Goose Times, covers, among other topics, letters, numbers,
shapes, colors, and nature. The calendar and weather are discussed during
circle times. Music and movement are also a part of that sacred time. A
monthly theme is used to guide the children into learning about caring, the 5
senses, hygiene, nutrition and health, among others. Pre-kindergarten skills
are encouraged, but never expected. Children are allowed to choose
whether or not to be involved in all activities. A typical day includes circle
and story times, snack, art, optional nap, gross movement time and creative
play indoors and out. A regular week consists of neighborhood walks,
gardening, baking, science water play and dress-up days. The class also
participates in monthly field trips, which will be touched upon later in the
handbook. The children interact with the other class on the playground.
Overall, the Thimbleberry Room is a loving, caring environment where the
whole child is enriched through play and guided activities.
Both classrooms also have the opportunity to participate in Yoga twice a
month with a certified child yoga instructor.
