Meet the Founder
Little Rainbow Daycare started in the year of 2017
🌟 Meet Mrs. Anita Shien – Founder, Educator, and Loving Cook
Mrs. Anita Shien brings over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, having worked in toddler, preschool, and Transitional Kindergarten (TK) programs.
She holds a degree in Early Childhood Education, as well as a Bachelor’s degree in Culinary Arts—a combination that reflects her deep love for both teaching and nourishing others. In 2018, as a passionate educator and caring mother, Anita envisioned creating a warm, high-quality nursery school that would allow children to naturally acquire a second or even third language in a nurturing and playful environment.That vision became Little Rainbow Bilingual Daycare, a model program where early learning meets love, culture, and community. Anita is dedicated to offering high-quality childcare that supports not only children's growth and development but also uplifts families and serves the broader community with heart.
“To me, early childhood education is a priceless gift.
It gives me the time to love, to teach, to care, to serve, to laugh with children, and to give back to the world.
I’m truly grateful to all the families who have trusted me over the years.
It has been a joy to walk alongside so many amazing children—and to grow and learn with them every day.”

🌟 Our Story Today
Almost six years have passed since Little Rainbow Bilingual Daycare first opened its doors.
Today, we are proud to have welcomed many children from future-minded, international families who moved to the Bay Area from all over the world.Our little graduates leave us speaking two or even three languages—and more importantly, with open hearts and a lifelong love for learning. At Little Rainbow, our team of passionate teachers finds joy and purpose in every day spent with children.
In 2023, we officially embraced the Montessori Method, redesigning our classrooms with beautiful Montessori materials and a child-centered environment. We are also proud to share that Mrs. Anita earned her International Montessori Teaching Diploma from NAMC, enriching our program even further.
Today, our curriculum serves children from 6 months to 5 years old, focusing on:
Practical Life skills
Sensorial development
Trilingual Language Arts (Chinese, English, and Spanish)
Early Math and Science
Montessori Philosophy in action
We are deeply grateful for the families who continue to support and trust us.
Many parents have described Little Rainbow as the most loving and enriching daycare/preschool experience they’ve ever had—and we are honored to be a part of each child’s precious early years.
🌈 我們的現在與未來
轉眼間，小彩虹雙語托兒所已經走過六年。我們很開心能陪伴來自世界各地、充滿願景的家庭在灣區落地生根。我們的畢業小寶貝們不僅能使用兩種甚至三種語言，更擁有一顆快樂、勇敢學習的心。在小彩虹，老師們每天都懷抱熱情與喜悅陪伴孩子成長。2023年，我們正式導入蒙特梭利教育法，重新打造教室環境，選用原汁原味的蒙特梭利教具，讓孩子們在更有結構與自由的空間中，自主探索與學習。我們也很自豪地分享，Anita 老師已取得NAMC 國際蒙特梭利教學文憑，讓園所課程更加專業豐富。
目前，我們的教學對象為6個月到5歲的孩子，課程內容包括：
生活自理能力訓練
感官探索與發展
三語語文學習（中文、英文、西文）
幼兒數學與自然科學啟蒙
實踐式蒙特梭利教育理念
感謝每一位家長對我們的支持與信任。很多家長說，小彩虹是他們遇過最有愛、最溫暖、最專業的托兒所。我們也很榮幸能參與孩子們人生中最寶貴的童年時光，一起成長、一起發光。
