Rainbow Child Development

Rainbow Child Development Center, located at 10 Edward Street in Worcester, Massachusetts, is a renowned institution celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2022. Since its establishment in 1972, Rainbow has been dedicated to providing high-quality early education and care to low-income children, transforming their lives academically, socially, and emotionally. The center has collaborated closely with parents and received support from businesses, foundations, and individuals to offer a wide range of enrichment programs.

In celebration of its 50th year, Rainbow will host various programs and events showcasing its impact on the community. The institution recently received a Recovery Grant from the Worcester Together Fund, which will help purchase essential COVID-19 equipment, fund transportation for children to summer camp, and meet staffing requirements in light of the pandemic.

Despite the temporary closure of its doors due to COVID-19, Rainbow remains committed to combating systemic racism and violence. The institution believes in celebrating diversity and empowering children to maximize their strengths and value. Through programs promoting resiliency, access to opportunities, and a sense of belonging, Rainbow aims to instill a sense of empathy, inclusion, and respect in its students.

Rainbow's administration, teachers, and staff model principles of equity and respect, guiding children to navigate complexities of race and build critical skills for a more just world. The institution's Board of Directors is seeking individuals to serve on the board and advisory group, inviting those interested in contributing to Rainbow's mission to learn more about their functions and opportunities for involvement.
