Hello Rainbow Rising friends and families! I am truly honored and excited to be your Director. I began my Rainbow journey in 2018 as a teacher, and it has been a joy ever since. I grew up in Irvine, attending IUSD schools and earned my Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Communication Studies from California State University, Fullerton. Working with children has always been my passion, and my goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where every child feels loved, supported, and excited to grow. I look forward to building strong relationships with our families and working together to make our Alderwood community a special place for your children.

Hello Rainbow Rising Families! My name is Talita De Santiago, and I’m thrilled to be part of the amazing Alderwood community. I’ve been with Rainbow since 2022, and working with children has truly been my passion. My journey here has been an incredible one, starting as a teacher, progressing to a master teacher, and now as an Assistant Director. Throughout this journey, I’ve gained invaluable experience and created countless cherished memories with both the kiddos and the staff. Rainbow has provided me with an environment that fosters constant learning and personal growth, and for that, I am incredibly grateful! Outside of work, you’ll often find me enjoying a day at Disneyland, relaxing at the beach, or sipping on an iced matcha latte at different coffe shops.
