1 Rainbow Schools Message from the We bring learning Director of Education to life. “You get to think in Kindergarten. If you do think, you get to learn new stuff. You learn great things and you get to learn about you. I learned that it’s important to be friends, help somebody and play with different people. It’s important to play with different people because then you can learn lots more and you get to make a lot more friends. Also try to make whatever you want and challenge yourself. If you make everything you want, you can get your friends and family to help and learn with you. It’s about learning everything in your life and what’s in your heart. This is the best school ever. I love this school and I think you will have lots of fun here.” This is five-year-old Gabby Patterson’s When we invite parents and partners advice to children starting school.
