Discover the SRV Preschool Experience

At The School in Rose Valley, our preschool program offers a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment where young children thrive. We believe that each child deserves a learning experience that encourages curiosity, independence, and a strong sense of community. Our Preschool program is designed to celebrate the joy of learning, helping children explore their interests, develop critical skills, and build meaningful relationships with their peers and teachers.

A Day in the Life of an SRV Preschooler

At SRV, every day is a new adventure. Our students might begin their day with a nature walk to discover seasonal changes, spend time in our woodshop crafting projects, or collaborate on a group art piece that reflects their latest classroom theme. In addition to structured activities, children have plenty of time for free play, enabling them to explore and connect with their environment.

Our integrated curriculum spans literacy, math, science, social studies, art, music, physical education, and Spanish. Each day brings a variety of hands-on, experiential learning opportunities that lay the foundation for future academic success and personal growth.
