Rainbow Children's Center
Providing Affordable Community Childcare
Our Vision
The Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF) and Adventist Health
White Memorial (AHWM) partnered to bring quality childcare for children
of AHWM employees and local families. We want to create a learning environment
that enriches the human spirit and teaches important skills in a variety of areas.
Our innovative program prepares children to be successful in our multicultural society by fostering respect for diversity, and exposing them to lessons in English and Spanish.
Our Objectives
- Create a safe and nurturing environment
- Foster language/literacy development
- Create engaging classroom activities
- Enhance multicultural awareness
- Inspire independent and logical thinking
- Create responsible and confident leaders
- Foster socio-emotional development
- Teach new knowledge and skills
- Promote healthy habits
- Involve parents in their child's education
- Give children all the attention they need
The Benefits of Our Curriculum
MAOF/AHWM Rainbow Children's Center has adopted a special curriculum known
as "Highscope." Through this approach, children are encouraged
to make decisions on activities and materials throughout the day. As they
pursue their choices, children explore, ask and answer questions, solve
problems, and interact with classmates and adults. This exciting environment
makes it easier to learn and helps children take big steps in their personal growth.
Our Commitment to Quality
The Rainbow Children's Center is the only childcare center in the neighborhoods
east of downtown Los Angeles that is accredited by the National Association
for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). We have been serving the
community since 2001, and are licensed to enroll up to 82 children from
the ages of six weeks to five years old.
MAOF/AHWM Rainbow Children's Center is committed to hiring and training qualified and experienced staff to better serve children and their parents. The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CCTC) has certified all Rainbow Children's Center teachers.
Children's Library
In-house Library is available to children enrolled at the Rainbow Center.
The library offers a variety of children's books in English and Spanish.
Parents and Children can check books out during departure time.
Tuition
Tuition is based on an eight-hour day, and includes three nutritional meals
for children eating solid foods. Parents must provide food for infants
on formula, Gerber's, rice cereal or other soft food diets.
* Tuition will be based on age and/or classroom assignments.
AHWM employees will receive a subsidy paid directly to MAOF to offset the rate increases.
