Our Story

Rainbow Preschool International started in Thane in 2007 with one aim: to give young children a safe, happy place to begin learning. Today we run six centres across Thane: Aggarwal (Manpada), Hariniwas, Anand Nagar, Dhokali, Kalwa and Kasarvadavali. Our play-based, NEP 2020-aligned approach helps children learn with confidence through hands-on exploration and discovery.

A Note from Our Chairperson

At Rainbow, parents play a vital role in our journey towards excellence. Together, we shape each child into a confident, skilled learner with a global perspective. "Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever." – Mahatma Gandhi Just like our beloved Mahatma Gandhi Ji believed, Learning is essential for an individual's growth. And when we hear the word Learning, the word Education comes to our mind as they both are closely related. Education is a joint venture: an association between the school and the home to ensure that children become successful in whatever they choose to pursue. Right education materializes out of co-operation among the learners, mentors, parents and the community. I assure you that the entire team of Rainbow Preschool International helps shape each child into an intelligent, skilled and committed Indian citizen with a global perspective. I look forward to your kind association, valuable support and a healthy rapport that shall assist us in the holistic development of each child. Yours Sincerely, Mrs. Akila Balbale
