Rainbow Station school has on-site infirmary

Northern Virginia parents will have one less thing they have to worry about when the new school year starts at private school Rainbow Station -- having to take time off work to stay home to care for sick child.

That is because the Haymarket school for children ages up to 14 provides an on-site infirmary care for children with common childhood illness such as colds or the chicken pox.

Staffed by a pediatric nurse, the infirmary is known as "The Well Place" and is located at 7800 Pied-mont Center Plaza, Haymarket, in a separate building from the school on the 4 ½-acre campus. The infirmary is equipped with a reverse ventilation system to prevent any spreading of germs.

The facility is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and all mildly ill children ages up to 12 can go there, regardless of whether or not they are enrolled Rainbow Station.

For more information call 571-261-2270.
