End of the Rainbow Childcare Center provides a nurturing, enriching environment where children ages 6 weeks through 5 years grow, learn, and thrive.
The staff at End of the Rainbow bases its philosophy on each child's total development. We provide an enriching atmosphere which enables the child to develop socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
Learning through play is the heart of our curriculum. Daily lesson plans are introduced through structured themes with the children's interest in mind. Working with children in small groups enables them to receive the personalized attention they need to excel.

"Our son has gone to End Of The Rainbow for the last three years. From day one of our facility walkthrough, Shane and his staff were welcoming, caring and encouraging. Words can not express our gratitude for such care given to our son. I would highly recommend them to any family looking for children care."
"My child has been going to End of the Rainbow for three years and we LOVE it. Everyone at this school feels like family. I still text my son's previous teachers, and I love stopping by the office to visit. The curriculum is organized and fun and I love getting updates about what kids are doing in class. I've never worried about my child's well-being while he's been at End of the Rainbow."
"As first time parents and newly back in the Columbia area, finding childcare was one of my most daunting tasks. However, with one visit to EOR my nerves were calmed. The staff is AMAZING - our daughter has been there since 3 months old and is almost 2 now, and we plan to keep her there until she starts Kindergarten. I truly believe she would not be doing as well as she is if it weren't for the teachers at EOR."
"I cannot say enough good things about End of the Rainbow. When my 1 year old daughter practically leaps out of my arms with excitement to run up to greet her teachers...I know I have found the right place. From the very beginning, Shane and Nikki, were both so accommodating and pleasant to work with. My daughter lights up when ever she sees one of her teachers. I feel like I am dropping her off at a family member's house."
