School Readiness programs are designed to nurture your child and to build upon the skills that they will need in kindergarten. Rock Ridge Public Schools offers exceptional School Readiness experiences to enhance and expand the learning opportunities available for your child. Children are provided with choices and hands-on learning opportunities in language, literacy, math, science, art, music, health and well-being, and social, emotional and physical development.
Each of our preschool programs have received the highest possible rating by Minnesota’s quality rating system for early education settings. Licensed teachers use a variety of research-based curriculum to thoughtfully engage children in activities which build essential school-readiness skills. These skills provide children a smooth and successful transition into kindergarten.
