Preschool in Rockville, MD 20850
RPCNS is committed to providing a high quality early childhood education program through a safe and nurturing environment that promotes a childs physical, social, emotional and cognitive development.
How do we do this? Put simply, learning through play. Using a combination of free play and structured activities, we encourage and guide our school children through different experiences and new discoveries. The children are given the opportunity to develop a sense of mastery through their own accomplishments. This promotes the building of self-esteem and a strong self-worth.
These efforts are supported by the integral involvement of the families in our school community. As a cooperative nursery school, we believe in having families involved in their childs first school experience. This cooperative model allows parents to carry through learning from school to home. The combination of loving parents and supportive teachers provides our children with a positive learning environment.

WHAT IS A CO-OP
Teaching, love, a special place
Child, parent, teacher
A cooperative by definition is a place that is owned by and operated for the benefit of those using its services. In terms of a preschool cooperative, parents and teachers come together to teach, support and encourage their children. We, as the parent members of RPCNS, are the operators of our school. We choose to send our children to a school where people of different backgrounds come together for one purposeto give our children a first school experience in a fun, exciting and nurturing environment.
It is a privilege to get to know the other children and parents in the school, as well as watch our children blossom and grow, firsthand.
RPCNS is a non-profit. This affords us the opportunity to focus all of our monetary resources on one goal: making our school a safe, educationally stimulating environment for our students
