CHILDCARE PROJECTS
This childcare program is meant to provide supplementary childcare options for parents and caregivers who work outside of the typical Monday-Friday 9-5. Rainbows is uniquely positioned to meaningfully contribute to creatively filling some of the childcare gaps in the community as reported to the PEC Municipality through a region wide survey. Although our afterschool program is tailored specifically for girls, the childminding and after-hours care services offered through the pilot will be open to all children, not just girls! Rainbows recognizes that barriers to childcare impact women, girls and their families and are confident that we can positively contribute to filling gaps by utilizing our already licensed space and the expertise of staff.
