Our Legacy
Four Decades of Community, Built One Child at a Time
Since opening our doors in 1979, Applewood Rainbow has grown into far more than a school. We are a living community, one where parents become lifelong friends, where siblings follow in each other's footsteps, and where former students return to enrol their own children.
Our guides have walked alongside hundreds of Mississauga families across generations, holding firm to the belief that childhood deserves patience, beauty, and deep respect. That commitment has never wavered, and it never will.
