What We Believe
RCNS is a cooperative preschool in which parents, teachers and children participate together in an exciting and nurturing first-school experience. The educational goal of the school is to provide each child with developmentally appropriate learning experiences through which he or she can grow at his or her own pace to a new maturity and sense of self-worth and self-direction. Our purpose is to help children develop an interest and joy in learning about themselves, others and the world around them.
