What is Rainbow Body School?
Seeds of Life Circle’s Rainbow Body School and Afterschool Programs guide children to discover the world around themselves through nature, the elements, animals/insects, food, and our peers, and to discover the world within themselves through diverse art forms, storytelling, singing/dancing, becoming animals, movement, social-emotional games and anatomy (our bones and organs).
Our weekly curriculum is based on each of the 7 colors of the rainbow and each chakra. Children explore internal resources and tools that they can carry with them throughout life while engaging in active fun. The Richmond playground, fields and forest, Richmond Market and the library are a part of our classroom as we come to discover our place in the community. Come play and learn with us as we connect with the earth, our friends and our own bodies!
