Riverale Nursery School and Family Center

The Riverdale Nursery School and Family Center provides a developmentally appropriate interactive educational environment for young children. Through its play-based program children construct cognitive social emotional and physical knowledge and skill as well as develop a love of learning and positive attitude toward school.

RNSFC is committed to serving a diverse population including children with unique challenges. The school creates inclusive classrooms in which typically developing children and children with developmental delays can interact. RNSFC believes that all children should have the opportunity to be educated in the least restrictive environment that values and promotes the special attributes of each child.

RNSFC’s mission includes exposing children to the larger world instilling a sense of social responsibility at a young age. Through hands on experiential learning that encompasses the tenets and practices of an environmental curriculum children develop an awareness of the natural world.

The Family Center at RNSFC offers educational and social opportunities to families attending the School as well as the larger community. Through programs offered at our Toddler Center as well as nursery school sponsored seminars workshops and support groups parents have the opportunity to address issues relevant to parenting and family life.
