Para educator

January 2019 • Wichita, KS

What I liked

Rainbows Kids' Point is a great opportunity to work with kiddos aged 0-5, both typically developing and those with special needs. I loved the experience and the support towards my future career as an SLP.

What I wish was different

Occasionally Rainbows had been understaffed, but if you communicate your schedule well and explain your needs, they will do their best to be accommodating.

Advice

I would highly recommend that you have childcare experience before this job. It can be overwhelming to take care of an entire classroom if you have little to no experience with kids.
