100% of the proceeds from RAINBOWS RUN ● WALK supports children with special needs and their families in Butler County through the following services:
Targeted Case Management
Rainbows uses a family-centered approach encouraging each family to make their own choices and letting the case manager advocate and coordinate the services to make the family’s wishes a reality. As a long-time recognized leader in Kansas, Rainbows’ case managers help families overcome barriers. They match the needs of each child and family with available community resources and access to those services.
Smart Start of Butler County
The care, education and well-being of our children is paramount to the success and happiness of family, and the productivity of the communities in which they live. In Butler County, communities are working hard to provide smart solutions for families, child care providers and educators through Rainbows United Smart Start of Butler County. Improved access to quality child care, education, and health and wellness information give area children a Smart Start in life.
Bright Beginnings, Infant/Toddler Services
As you watch a baby or toddler, you may wonder if they are where they should be developmentally. The future can seem clouded with uncertainty. Developmental delays are more common than you may think and, in our community, we have many ways to help. Rainbows United is here for hundreds of children, shining warmth and offering bright beginnings. Rainbows United offer 16 early intervention services, depending on your specific needs, at no cost to families.
