Thomas R.

“I liked the individual freedom to explore things in Rainbow. One thing I remember very well is being shown a string of beads, then a combination of those strings forming a square, then a combination of those squares forming a cube. It really held my attention.”

“Even 17 years after my graduation at Rainbow International pre-school, I have wonderful memories of my kindergarten years. I especially enjoy going through the yearbooks with all the pictures of amazing events such as the Halloween parties, I always have a chance to go back in time. After all, I am really grateful to still have contact with some of my friends from Rainbow and even had a chance to meet my best friend from that incredible chapter in my life.”

"Bambini did an amazing job at incorporating a variety of fun activities that covered all domains of learning. An example of this was when we had dance and singing practices for a Christmas Concert performance, where we even had a guest appearance of Taro Hakase--one of my fondest memories of Bambini. I have Bambini to thank for the skills I currently have in time management, self-awareness, diligence, and proactivity not only in daily life, but in an initiative to better the lives of those around me.

Natasha S.

“Bambini was my second home. My favorite activities were all the practical life materials such as cutting food. I remember we were supposing to serve the food to classmates, but I would eat most of it myself! Bambini has given me lifelong friends whom I still meet with to this day. Just a few months ago I met with my best friend from Bambini in Milan, while we were traveling!”
