Our Philosophy

"Learning Through Play"
It's all about play. We believe that children should be valued as individuals.
We provide an engaging curriculum that encourages the children to discover and explore. 
We believe that playing and talking are the ways in which children learn about themselves and the world.
We provide experiences for the children that are hands on, meaningful and fun.

 
Our children learn to use their bodies effectively,  to satisfy their curiosities and to express their self-confidence and independence. They learn to problem solve and cope with feelings. Self-expression is encouraged and developed.  
                                       


​Guidance and Discipline

It is natural that when children are learning and growing socially, sometimes conflicts can occur. At Rainbow Preschool, our staff use a variety of  approaches when guiding the children. They help the children to recognize what is happening and to generate some ideas for solutions to these challenges. We believe that when the children are a part of the process,  it gives them the confidence to deal with any challenges. The children learn that asking for help is okay and is a win-win for everybody. 
Our Staff

First of all, we hire staff who are trained in Early Childhood Education and whose methods match our philosophy. All of our staff have current licences to practice in  British Columbia, have valid criminal record checks, valid First Aid and participate in a variety of professional development. 

A little about Miss Heather

Our teacher Miss Heather started here at Rainbow Preschool in the Fall of 2017. She graduated with her certificate in Early Childhood Education from St. Lawrence College in Kingston, Ontario in 1991. In 1993, she moved to Vancouver and has been here ever since.
She has over 25 years of experience in child care and preschool and learns from the children in her classes on a daily basis.  She believes that children are capable individuals with an amazing sense of intuition, wonder and that we are all lifelong learners. 

Some of Miss Heather's quotes:

"Play- we believe passionate pursuit of our interests helps us make sense and meaning of our world"
​
"We are here to do and through doing to learn, and through learning to know and through knowing to experience, to experience wonder and through wonder to attain wisdom."
