Children enter the classroom with diverse upbringings, but they all face the same challenge: moving from the safety of home into the greater world.
Through the consistent, harmonious activities of Rainbowdance, we support the development of resilient, happy children.
Rainbowdance Basic
The basic model of our program works to
build social empathy, self-confidence and
self-regulation, using music, movement
and storytelling. Rainbowdance is
adaptable for children ages 1-5 as well as
children with special needs and behavioral
challenges. Developed by Dicki Johnson Macy at Boston Children's Foundation. Rainbowdance is now avaible in Greensboro, NC with Angela Wiley.
In Rainbowdance, children will experience:
1. Peer and Parent Support
2. Creative Expression
3. Self-regulation
4. Increased confidence
Transition to Kindergarten
The child who has developed self-esteem
and confidence is prepared to confront
social challenges with curiosity and
courage. Studies show that social and
emotional health at the preschool level
increases children’s readiness for
kindergarten. If they feel regulated,
confident and empathic towards others,
they will be successful in a formal school
environment. In this model we expand the
repertoire, increasing its sophistication to
mirror the challenges children will face in
the formal school environment.

“The children are learning self soothing strategies; we have caught them singing the songs to themselves when alone in book area or
working in the art area.”
