Welcome to Rainbow Preschool

About Us

St. Luke’s Rainbow Preschool is a faith based, licensed preschool and is a ministry of St. Luke’s United Church of Christ. We have been serving the Columbus area for over 40 years since our opening in 1985.

Our Approach

It is our intention to help your child grow in a distinctly Christian environment by allowing them to think, question, and problem solve through age-appropriate learning opportunities. We feel strongly that it is important to encourage a child’s natural curiosity, so we teach with a play-based learning curriculum with thematic focuses. You’ll find low teacher-to-student ratios in a friendly, nurturing, safe environment for your child to explore, engage, and grow. We strive to build trust because we value relationships; both with you as a parent and especially your child.

Our Classes

AM Preschool (Ages 3-5)

Our AM Preschool class is a warm and welcoming first classroom experience opportunity. Children are given the opportunity to explore, create, move, and learn all within the comfort of a predictable daily routine. Our time together provides a balance of structured and open-choice time which keep in mind the spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive and physical development of each individual child.

Class Options:

3 Days: Tuesday through Thursday | 7:45am-10:45am

5 Days: Monday through Friday | 7:45am-10:45am

PM Pre-K (Ages 4-6)

Our PM Pre-K class is a chance for our returning or slightly older students to extend their learning experience as they prepare for Kindergarten. Our early literacy and math foundations are presented in play-based learning opportunities which are fun and engaging for everyone. Children are given greater ownership in our daily rhythms and routines. This structure helps prepare students for what they will encounter in their learning experience for years to come. Their day provides a balance of structured and open-choice time which promotes the spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development of each individual child.

Class Option:

5 Days: Monday through Friday | 12:00pm-3:00pm
