    Art Is What Makes Rainforest Learning Centers Unique

    Rainforest Learning Centers believe that Art is the universal tool for early childhood learning and has created an exceptional nature-based, fun, engaging, and inspiring curriculum. We are dedicated to providing a safe, healthy, and exciting environment where children aged 3 to 5 years can develop and grow through experiential learning. Our Preschool Art Shows encourage parental engagement and are the climactic points of celebration that have given Rainforest the reputation it has.

    NATURE

    Our environmentally focused style encompasses a hands-on immersion into some of nature’s most exotic and fascinating experiences. Rainforest offers a mesmerizing interaction with nature, from gardens and terrariums to chickens and the world’s largest collection of killer* doves.

    Preschools Are Big Business

    Around 1.62 million children are enrolled in Pre-K educational programs in America, with most being in non-specialized or state-run schools. With a Rainforest Learning Center Franchise, you can be an important part of offering unique, extraordinary learning experiences beyond the standard.

    • The Early Childhood Learning Center/Preschool industry is a $16 billion market
    • 40% of 3-year-olds attend preschool
    • 69% of 4-year-olds attend preschool
    • 88% of 5-year-olds attend preschool
    • In 2020, there were almost 19,000 private Pre-K schools in the U.S.

    Investment and Revenue Potential

    Because Rainforest Learning Centers do not rely on special building designs or specific square footage, our buildout costs are substantially lower than many other private preschools. We’re focused more on our staff, the learning experience, and the curriculum than the style of the building. 

    We’re looking for investors passionate about Early Childhood Learning who also share a love of art and experiential learning.

    “Rainforest is such a magical place. The teachers are amazing!  The art shows and student performances are so creative and fun. I have two there now and one has graduated. My oldest was well-prepared for entering kindergarten. My kids love going to Rainforest.”

    Hilary H.

    “Rainforest was love at first visit. Two kids and five years later, from infant care through preschool, it has exceeded our expectations with smart and loving teachers, a wondrous and quirky environment and an administration that is committed to engaging and educating children through play and the arts. This is truly a unique gem in Chicago.”

    “Rainforest is everything you want in a daycare. An incredibly warm environment and talented teachers. Our daughter loves them and so do we!”

    Jamie P.

    “I cannot say enough wonderful things about the directors/owners and staff at Rainforest Learning Center. I drop my children off every day knowing they are in a safe, happy, learning environment. The teachers continue to amaze me with their genuine interest in each child and positive attitude. Rainforest stands out from others in the city with their creative approach to learning through art. As well, the all-organic, natural food offered is unique and comforting.”

    Tim S.

    “Rainforest is amazing! Our daughter attended from age 2 to 4.5, and our son attended from 4 mos. to 1 year. They are very professional and organized, and we always felt our children were safe and well cared for. But the wonderful thing about Rainforest is how much more they do: creative art projects; lessons in yoga, piano, and dance; field trips to museums. It’s so much more than just a great daycare.”
