Barbara Howerton, Owner and Director of Rainbow's End Child Development Center, first opened her doors
in the spring of 1982 along with help from her late husband, David. Her love for children along with passion
for teaching is what makes Rainbow's End so special. Activities at Rainbow's End are designed
with Christian values in mind. Children have the opportunity to share what they've learned during
Mrs. Barbara's annual VBS Program. A highlight of the VBS Program is Ms. Betty's homemade cookies...over 1,000 and counting each year!
Rainbow's End welcomes children from ages 18 months through the 4th grade. Children can expect to have a
fun time a Rainbow's End. The facility features 2 play yards, arts and crafts station, toy zones, video
game stations, board games, Television and movies, and much more! During the summertime,
children are encouraged to particiate in Mrs. Barbara's swimming program. Swim activities are held at
a private pool, which is cleaned daily and monitored by a lifeguard at all times.
School children may participate in the Rainbow's End bus program free of charge. Bus routes include
service to Dobbs, Hartman, Hays, Nebbie Williams, and Reinhardt Elementary schools, both morning and afternoon. A customized pre-school
curriculum will be administered to children ages 2-5 years old. Preschoolers will receive a morning and afternoon snack,
and may bring a sack lunch from home. Elementary students are provided after-school snacks daily and
encouraged to finish homework in the study area before playing in the school yard. At the end of the day,
all children are gathered in the main room for Bible Stories and Music Appreciation Time.
Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 6:15am-6:15pm.
