What Parents Are Saying...

Brooke Acierno

My son started there when he was 6 months old and my daughter started when she was 8 months old. They are always friendly, and communicate very will with any changes (closings/events) that are coming up. The education they provide to top notch as my daughter who is just shy of 2 can count to 10 and say/recognize basic colors. My children love going to over the rainbow and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for child care or early developmental options.

Kelly Barnes

My 2 year old daughter has been going here since she was 4 months old. Not only does she love the creative projects she participates in, but every staff member will take the time to acknowledge her by her name as we walk the halls. As a parent it is clear that the staff genuinely care about their students. My daughter gets excited every morning at drop off and even expresses wanting to stay longer at pick up. Highly highly recommend!

Bianca Schiano

Over the rainbow has been nothing short of amazing! From the staff to the owner who is always available and making sure everyone is well taken care of. You’re not just another child in their facility but you’re treated like family. We are always greeted when walking through the doors and hallways. Everyone is pleasant, and not a day goes by my child doesn’t come home with something new to say! I can go on, and on, but to say the least I am beyond grateful for such an awesome team behind my child!

I love working at Over The Rainbow. I have been an assistant teacher there for a little over 2 years and I can say that it is the best place that I have ever worked at. Not only do you get to watch the children grow but you grow with them and create such a beautiful bond with them and their families. It truly is an honor to work at OTR and be apart such an amazing place.

Edward Squibb

I had my son in a different daycare for his first 9 months before Over The Rainbow. They tried very hard to mimic this facility, but fell far short of the quality and professionalism OTR delivers. He is 3 now and we love that the staff is courteous and caring. They communicate with parents extensively. And they are happy to help any way they can. They work with the parents to deliver high quality care for the children. And they keep the parents and family involved every way they can. My son and I are both very happy with OTR.

Katie O'Day

We ABSOLUTELY LOVE Over the Rainbow! All of the staff are so sweet to our son and he has a blast every time he goes to school! We love all of their events that they hold, they really make the parents feel connected. I would highly recommend this daycare to everyone!

I recently moved to the area a few months ago and my biggest fear was finding a new job. I had been at my other child care center for 10 years and I was nervous to leave that center and start a new chapter at a brand new place. Luckily, I was given the opportunity to work at Over the Rainbow and I absolutely love it here. The staff is amazing and has really made me feel accepted and a part of their team. I'm glad I found a place where everyone is so nice and supportive of each other and everyone's top priority is to help the children learn and grow. I'm sad to have left my old job but I'm glad I gained a new family with Over the Rainbow.

We absolutely love Over The Rainbow CDC! My children have learned so much from the wonderful teachers and activities they do! The staff is fantastic and always easy to be in contact. There are updates all throughout the day of what your child is doing. Excellent excellent school!

Dalesh Kumar

Enrolling our toddler son to Over the Rainbow was one of the best decisions we as a parents ever made for our child. In a short period of time, he has learned a lot and we are very happy with the progress. We highly recommend this school.

If there were a way to rate this place with millions stars, I would do so without hesitation. The teachers and staff have consistently provided exceptional experiences. Through this school, we've not only formed lifelong friendships with other parents but also witnessed outstanding leadership from staff office. Kids are enjoying learning through not just standard class but also events to get special exposure and experience. People here has been truly excellent. This daycare sets the standard for others to strive towards.

Candice Chin

I would recommend this school for anyone looking for a place that provides an exceptional curriculum along with quality care. My 4 year old daughter loves attending and comes home sharing new things she’s learned. The teachers and staff are very attentive to every child’s needs and gets to know them and their families, which I really appreciate. There is open communication through photos and private messages throughout the day and the teachers as well as staff are very responsive to messages they receive. They also involve families in various activities and events throughout the school year. I will definitely be sending my youngest daughter here next year as OTR has and continues to exceed my expectations with all that they have to offer. They reassure me that my daughter is safe and in excellent care.

I loveee working at over the rainbow I been working here for almost a year as a assistant teacher in our infant classroom and I watched and enjoyed so many of our babies grow and develop and enjoy coming to daycare and bring so much joy helping and working with our parents . Over the rainbow is a wonderful place to bring your child. We update parents every day with beautiful pictures and activities that we do with our app Procare. Our staff is like a Big Family and we also love for our parents to feel like they are always appreciated and supported at Over the rainbow. 😊

Erin Frederickson

As first time parents, we were so nervous to find a daycare for our son. We toured OTR after visiting a few other daycares and knew we'd found something special. The front office/administrative staff are great, always so quick to respond to messages. Our son's teachers dote on him like he's their own... though I'm pretty sure every teacher in the building knows his name! OTR also offers amazing extra resources: health screenings, craft and pizza nights, and parents' night out to name a few. We love being part of this little community!

Adrienne Brewster

I really really love Over the Rainbow CDC. My 6 yr old son has graduated from there and he still talks about his teachers and the friends he made there. My 2 yr old daughter is currently there and she's learning so much. The teachers are very attentive to my child's needs and they are all awesome!
