Rock Spring Cooperative Preschool has an active community of families and dedicated teachers. We believe in that children learn best through play.

A group of caring and inventive mothers founded RSCP in 1943 and we are the oldest cooperative preschool in Arlington. We offer a half-day program with age-specific classes for children eighteen months to five years old.
 
Our teaching philosophy, anchored in the Reggio Emilia approach, is that children learn best through play. We believe the preschool child’s intellectual, social, and emotional growth is fostered through active play guided by qualified teachers. To encourage this growth, we offer:

     · A stimulating, natural environment for        development and growth. ​


· An emphasis on nurturing each child’s individuality and joy of exploration and thus learning. 


​· An opportunity to help each child to gain self-confidence and independence as those are important building blocks of learning.


We are located on the Rock Spring Congregational United Church of Christ campus, at the intersection of Little Falls and Rock Spring roads.
