“Rainbow has created a nurturing, safe and loving environment in which our children were well prepared both academically and socially to enter kindergarten. The values and behavior modeled at Rainbow – kindness, generosity, respect and curiosity – served them well as they progressed through elementary school and helped establish a firm foundation for life. “

BUILDING TOUR
Welcome To Rainbow Playschool
We are a play-based childcare nestled into the foothills of Mt. Tom in Woodstock, Vermont.
Our program is built on the essential premise that free play is vital for the healthy development of young children. It is a critical element in all aspects of child growth. All children have the ability to play and through free play children are allowed the freedom to explore, make their own choices, ignite their curiosity, learn compassion, build resilience and charge their brain.
PLAY IS A SUPERPOWER!
Rainbow Playschool is a 38 year well-respected childcare serving the Woodstock communities. Our newly renovated 8,000 square foot net zero building hosts beautiful classrooms dedicated to each unique learner. Outdoor exploration thrives in our large play area abutting the Marsh Billings National Park.

In addition to the curriculum that we provide, we connect regularly with community partners to expand the educational opportunities here at Rainbow. We participate in ArtisTree‘s “Music Together” program with several of the Pre K aged children. The Normal Williams Public Library also sends a librarian to share stories with all age groups. We also regularly utilize the walking path to the Billings Farm, and our Pre K classroom utilizes the trail that connects our property to the National Park.
