School Readiness Focus

Rainbow's Kindergarten curriculum is benchmarked against the entry requirements of leading CBSE, ICSE, and IB primary schools in Thane and Mumbai. Children are systematically prepared across all key readiness domains: academic skills (reading, writing, numeracy), cognitive skills (attention, memory, logical thinking), social-emotional skills (managing emotions, following instructions, cooperating), and self-help skills (time management, organisation, independence). Our teachers assess each child's readiness profile and provide targeted support for any areas needing extra attention.

Assessment & Progress Tracking

Progress in Kindergarten is tracked through portfolio-based assessment, observation records, and term-end assessments. Parents receive detailed written reports twice a year plus informal monthly updates. No child is ranked or compared with peers — each child's progress is measured against their own previous performance, celebrating individual growth and milestones.

Kindergarten (Junior KG and Senior KG) admissions are open for children aged 3.5 to 5.5 years. School hours are 8:30 AM to 1:00 PM, Monday to Friday. Extended day care is available at select centres.
