About Us

The Reaching for Rainbows Child Development Centre is owned by Allan Carson and directed by Danica Carson. The centre was opened in February, 2003 and offers early learning and childcare programs for, up to, 54 children from birth to five years old and an after-school program for up to 30 children from five to twelve years old. Our early learning programs offer learning opportunities and inclusive environments based on the New Brunswick Curriculum Framework for Early Learning and Childcare, as mandated by the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.

Reaching for Rainbows’ programs are geared toward meeting the needs of children by meeting the needs of families. At Reaching for Rainbows, we take the expression “it takes a village to raise a child” very seriously and we strive to encourage, support and empower families by working collaboratively and supportively with families to provide the best and highest quality care and early learning environment for all children.

Every early childhood professional employed at Reaching for Rainbows is chosen with the highest standard of care to find only individuals with the utmost respect and understanding of the unique needs of individual children and families. We make every effort to hire experienced early childhood educators who have completed, or are taking courses, in Early Childhood Education. In addition, we are dedicated to professional development and continuous quality improvement. We attend, whenever possible, various conferences and seminars, which facilitate our ability to maintain and continually improve the quality of programs offered to our children and families.

Reaching for Rainbows also acts as an example for early childhood professionals in training through cooperative education programs of various educational organizations.
