My kids have been going to CORA for a few years now and we live it. The staff is so caring and helpful. It is honestly like an extended family. My kids have flourished and have made so many friends.The teachers have always been open to new ideas to help my children feel comfortable and confident. They take the time to hear my concerns a d help me find ways to help my kids at home also so we are working together.I love the care they provide and the peace of mind I have. I know my kids are being cared for by people that truly have their best interests at heart

My children have attended this daycare for about 5 yrs. All of the teachers they have had are amazing and the office staff is truly incredible. My kids have learned so much and made so many friends. Ms Anna is always so welcoming every morning and very helpful every time I call in with questions. She always has just the answer that I need.Couldn’t recommend this daycare anymore!!They are more like family to us 😊

The teachers here are amazing! There is one in particular her name is Jessica Newell. Both of my kids had her and she is very professional and always going above and beyond for my kids and other kids as well! I would highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a place to send there kids.

There are so many great things to say about Color Our Rainbow Academy (CORA) I’m not sure where to begin. I’ll start with the things that matter to me most as a parent. Safety: with the current pandemic, these folks have done an exemplary job keeping all the children safe with strict cleaning and sanitizing plus temp checks at drop off. The safety protocols before all this were already exceeding my expectations and they have continued to do so. Care: It seems like they think of everything when it comes to taking care of my child. From meal and lesson planning to crafts and play I know my child is being given the best care. My child is always engaged and learning. Communication: I am ALWAYS up to date with everything going on with my child through their mobile app and they answer any questions I have. They go above and beyond in keeping me informed whether it’s through the app, conversation at pickup or their awesome events calendars. Staff: This is probably the most important part for me. Everyone at CORA is amazing. At this point they are practically family. I felt my child was welcome from day one and all the staff adore him. Miss Gina, Anna, Jessica and the rest of the office staff are phenomenal. They’re always just a call away and really helpful. There aren’t enough positive adjectives to speak of the teachers, Miss Lexi, Donielle, Krista Jo, and Tiffany have been absolute jems. Lastly the pickup and drop off staff rock! Many of which are already named but Miss Amanda is awesome. She makes it a point to know all the parents by name. I can’t say enough about this place.

CORA is such a blessing to our family. My wife and I have total peace of mind while we are at work knowing and trusting this staff to love and teach our two children. Miss Donielle is the tamer of two year olds, who has had both of our daughters. Miss Tiffany is preparing three year olds for kindergarten. My daughter knows so many letter sounds and loves everything about her classroom!

Let me tell you my child has been attending this daycare for less than a year and when I say it feels like they are family is an understatement. My child was having trouble with her Chromebook for weeks and I couldnt keep leaving work to take care of it Mrs. Gina and Anna made sure that this was not an issue for me . This daycare makes sure my child feels safe and my daughter looks forward to going to daycare each day. She loves Ms.Jordyn and Melissa because they let her express herself . I have zero issues with this daycare Its the smiles the hard work they put into each child for me. Not to mention they barley close just so us parents can provide. Thank You to all the staff!!! : )

Every single staff member weve interacted with is super friendly and just overall kind. Theyre half the reason my kid is as well adjusted as he is. So thank you, all of you!

I learned of Color Our Rainbow several years ago when my nieces and nephews attended. So when it came time for my grandchildren to start preschool there was never a second thought given as to where to send them. They teach the children in such fun and creative ways that most of the time they dont even realize they are learning while they are having fun. The staff is truly incredible in every way. Their door is always open and they listen compassionately to any concerns you may have. My grandchildren have all done amazing and grown so much since attending. It gives me a great piece of mind to know that they are being cared for by people who genuinely care about them. Even in this crazy year of Covid I know that the entire staff has gone above and beyond to keep everyone safe. Thank you Color Our Rainbow for all that you do and helping to shape our future leaders.

This center met and exceeded my expectations on several occasions. My youngest brother attended here as a preschooler in the early 2000s, and then my own children more recently. In the 15 years in between, this center has maintained their quality. They truly have an authenticity of caring that has set the bar very high for all other centers. The few years my girls were there happened to be the hardest Ive encountered, but the kindness and consideration that was shown to me and my family was incredible. The only reason we left is because we moved. I will always continue to recommend this center when people ask me.

As we get ready to embark on Kindergarten and all the big changes that come with that, Im acutely aware of how awesome CORA has been to our family. We brought our child here when he was almost non-verbal and within a a month he was using his words... these days, he doesnt stop talking. I wish we could take credit for this, but we cant. His teachers and the classroom gave him the opportunities he needed to use his words and gave us the support we needed to help him at home (along with some other community resources like Help Me Grow). From Mrs. Debbie to Miss Terra to Ms Mary and Ms Carly - along with the fabulous office staff (Mrs Gina and Mrs Cara especially), weve always felt like CORA was an extension of our home. Theyve respected our decisions, encouraged and supported us when we needed them and helped whenever they can. Although no center is perfect, I can say without a doubt that we chose the perfect one for our family. Thank you to everyone who has touched our lives these past 3 years. We will be sad that our son doesnt spend his days with you come Fall but we are grateful that he will have somewhere same and familiar to go after school. :)

Color Our Rainbow is fantastic!!. I would highly recommend them. They are so caring and treat you like family. My daughter has a special need and I feel most comfortable with her here. They are definitely on top of everything. My children love all the staff they get excited to see them like they would me lol. So cute😊. I have been to a few daycares in the past and after coming here I wouldnt want my children anywhere else. Looking forward to many years to come with Color Our Rainbow 🌈😊.They offer so much to the children learning and always great activities and awesome fieldtrips. Thank you Ms Gina and all your amazing staff and teachers everyone is absolutely GREAT😊🙂.

We are so thankful for CORA! My oldest went through Pre-K and my youngest went through traditional preschool and is now in Pre-k. I have never been more thankful for a group of people. They go above and beyond in every way and put the kids first! Their concern and love for kids that aren’t even theirs is amazing! I would recommend them to anyone looking for preschool to full time child care!

My son loves Ms/ JessicaMs. Amanda speaks & greets every morning when I walk in. If, Im having a bad day. She will brighten up your day for sure.Ms. Anna & Ms. Gina their like the mothers over the center they keep things functioning properly. They both are so loving & caring.Mr. Jason is more like the daddy over the center very loving man as well as humble. He makes me feel comfortable leaving my children @ this center.I would definitely recommend your child to this daycare.

I wish more Families would step up and help the community more by posting your BAD experiences rather than “good”. It blows my mind how 2 teachers were fired/let-go because of our 4 year old son but is rewarded for being a 4/5 star business. Not paying attention to our boy while outside the gate is suppose to be double locked and my son got out when he seen his dad pull in. No one knew my son was missing or signed out until AFTER all the kids were back inside. The teacher had no clue...wasn’t paying attention!!!??? Had this been an amber alert who knows how far my son would have been taken by someone during the time length it took for them to realize he was gone. They had to call us to see if we had him!!! The teacher was fired and the second incident..I literally walked in upon picking up my son to a teacher screaming at my son! The words and anger that came from his lady was so sad and unprofessional! Yea, she was fired but what about the anger she showed in front of not only my son but in front of all the kids downstairs all in line just starting at this lady while she’s screaming! Damage is done at that point...they want your child to be good and show respect but coming from the teachers as an example.....total hypocrisy!!!! They Disenrolled my son for many problems he had during nap time. My son didn’t wanna take naps....half the time! Reports are sent out daily upon signing out your child and 90% of the time the reports would say he took a 1 hour 50 min nap but when I picked him up they would say he didn’t nap at all. Same goes with what they ate...it’ll say they had this this and that...but my son would have not eaten nothing at all or maybe one thing. Leaving my son to be hungry and cranky that would lead to him acting out. If my son doesn’t want to nap....my god HE DOESNT want to nap....children are all different and my son was a ball full of energy and just didn’t want to nap. Redirecting and getting “down to his level” just made the situations worse....my son is one of many that a lot of people don’t like to talk about that THAT route and way to handle was and is not the route to take with my son. What happened to individual needs??? My sons father and I were as cooperative as possible and tried finding ways to make it a better environment for our son but when Mrs Gina goes on vacation and didn’t allow for our next plan to follow through was nothing less than GIVING UP and showing no concern for helping our boy. I can only imagine what went on in his place causing my son to act in ways he would never act here at home and he would get sent home constantly!!! I know my child best and this was NOT THE BEST place for my child! Everyone is different but this place is NOT all cracked up to be what they say they are. SPEAK UP PEOPLE cause I know my son is and has NOT been the only child that has ever had problems there and they did not handle it properly. Child guidance involvement???.....but Ur business gives up before my child has even a chance to evolve and be better. A lot of the times through stories of any of these day cares...it’s the daycares rules that have child guidance walking out shaking their head and saying ITS JUST A CHILD...making the day cares change their policies or demanding the teachers to step up and do a better job!!!!!! Unreal and shame on this day care for showing my son many bad examples....and one was...GIVING UP!!!!
