The Rainbows The goal of the rainbows program is to allow our older infants more room to explore without invading the space of our younger & less mobile infants. Since most of these students are moving from bottles to sippy cups, from jar to table food & from 2 naps to 1 nap per day; this room allows for an easier transition into toddlerhood with the children all being at the same developmental levels. Once they are 12 months old, walking, on all table food, no bottles & are ready for one nap per day, we begin transitioning them to the 12 - 18 month old program in Busy Bugs.
The Rainbows daily schedule includes two snacks and a full lunch. When the child is ready, whole milk is served with all lunches and all but four snacks per week. Each child takes home a "Daily Adventure Journal" form which documents their meals, nap, general mood and achievements for the day.
All in all, our Rainbows truly are a pot of gold!
