We’re more than a school—we’re a community.
Through play, children at Rio Terrace Community Preschool explore, imagine, and create while building critical skills and developing a deep love of learning. Whether engaging in music, stories, STEM, outdoor experiences or art, play is at the heart of everything we do. Families and teachers collaborate to create a safe, welcoming, and inspiring environment where every child can thrive. Through hands-on experiences and active exploration, children connect new ideas to their own interests and experiences, building confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning

Your Role
Parents play a vital role in our cooperative preschool, taking on key tasks like fundraising, advertising, and classroom support. Every five weeks, parents join as “special helpers,” connecting with their child’s classmates and seeing their growth firsthand. Our parent-run model fosters a strong community and ensures the best experience for our children. Thank you for being part of our preschool family!
