Rainbow Corner Guidelines

  • Toddlers who are potty-training must be appropriately dressed with pull-ups or underwear.  If a child needs help, staff will locate the parent to assist.  Rainbow Corner staff are not responsible for potty-training or changing diapers and soiled clothing.
  • Security items such as pacifiers or blankets are OK for infants.  Please do not bring toys or personal items form home.
  • Parents may provide pre-made bottles for infants.  Bottles must be labeled and stored out of reach from other children.  If able, staff will hold and feed infants.
  • Occasionally, children in Rainbow Corner become upset.  Staff will try holding, soothing, and entertaining upset children.  If they are unable to soothe an upset child, they will contact the parent, to address the child’s needs.
