Public Relations

Hi, my name is Cheryl Renee King, and I am also from NY.  I have 15 years experience with children of all ages.  I was a Pre-K teacher Assistant at a Christian Learning Center.  I have been a Licensed Child Care provider for five years and have certificates in Business Program Development, Child Development, Art Appreciation, and Child Abuse Identification and Prevention.

I love children, they're so inquisitive, fun, and intelligent.  I am especially looking forward to working with the young children.   I have three children of my own and I know children need guidance, and constant attention, and at the Rainbow Recreation Center  that love, guidance, and attention will be catered to all children and young adults.

We have many programs that will enrich their minds.  The program that interests me the most is the daycare program.  Not only does it provide a wonderful service to the parents and the community, it's provides a safe, and structual environment where the children can learn and play.

In addition to those programs, I'm grateful to have the chance to work with our special needs children as well.   All our children need love and nurturing. Remember, The Rainbow is a Covenant Sign it seals a promise.  Our promise to you is to provide the Highest Quality Care to all the children we serve.    Send mail to: cheryl@rainbows365.com.

Hello. My name is Zane and thanks for taking the time to visit our website. Many children need mentors, father figures, big brothers and positive role models, and here at the Rainbow Recreation Center we feel it's our duty and obligation to help these children.  

I remember from my childhood; not having alot of positive activities to help me learn and grow outside of the regular school curriculum.  I know our center will change many childrens lives.  Educational Enrichment is the Key to childs' Success

Our goal is very simple; to improve the lives of our youth and show them alternatives to the many negative lifestyles that they may encounter.    I am greatful to be a part of the Rainbow Recreation Center, and look forward to working with our kids.  Please join our efforts and volunteer or donate to this great cause; our future.  Send mail to: zane@rainbows365.com.

Hi, I am John Macklin and I want to thank everyone for visiting the website.  I was born in Jackson MS.  My family moved to Chicago after I turned one years old.  We then moved back to Mississippi when I was about six years old. 

In growing up in both a larger city in Chicago and a smaller city in Mississippi, I quickly learned that I was fortunate to grow up in a family of five with both parents.  I think the most relevant and important barrier to the success of our children especially the young men, is a strong father figure in the household.  We must commit ourselves to re-building our families, and we must reverse the trend of disappearing dads,  It will be hard work, but it must be done because the well-being of millions of children is at stake.

I graduated from Provine High School.  The extracurricular activities I was involved in were: ROTC, the choir, and I was President of the Fashion / Modeling squad.  I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Criminal Justice from Jackson State University School of Liberal Arts.  While attending Jackson State I became a member of the Masonic Order and a member of a R&B group called Compozitionz.

My first responsibility is to walk upright with God and to be at a point in my life that God see fit for me whether it's in music, business, or teaching.  I wanted to give back to the community and one way of giving back was to start teaching, although my major was Criminal Justice, I was the (PAC) Positive Action Center Program Instructor for six years in the Jackson Public School District.  As a PAC instructor, I maintained discipline in a learning environment, taught social skills, counseled students on various issues and instructed students in subject matter using required text books and lecture materials.

I enjoy working with children and I want to continue to work with them.  With my spiritual strength and belief in the Lord I know I can be a positive role model.  I also want to exert good work ehtics to help the children realize that they can do whatever it is that they set their minds to do in becoming Leaders of the Future.
