Rainbow Station^SM is a child care center of a different color.

If you're searching for a quality child care franchise, you're not alone. Millions of parents are, too. Despite the fact that the number of centers has more than doubled since 1977, the concept of quality child care has yet to catch on.

Only six percent of child care centers nationwide meet the accreditation standards of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. That means only six percent offer low child-teacher ratios, teach children how to learn, follow a curriculum that emphasizes individual interests and talents, and offer an environment where children are happy, relaxed and involved with play.

Only six percent compare to Rainbow Station^SM.

And none of them offers Rainbow Station^SM's unique selling proposition: An infirmary called The Get Well Place^SM where parents can leave their sick children when they go to work and where the parents of chronically ill children can find the child care they so desperately need.

Rainbow Station^SM is the brainchild of Gail Johnson, a pediatric Registered Nurse who once taught nursing at the Medical College of Virginia. She opened her first Rainbow Station^SM in 1989. Within five months, she had 100 children. By the end of 1990, her staff had grown from 12 to 32. And by 1999, she had six locations.

Her success sparked articles in such publications as Time Magazine, Family Style, Enterprise Virginia, Entrepreneur Magazine, Nursing Matters, U.S. Japan Business News, Nations Bank Magazine Richmond Times Dispatch and many others.
