Caregiver & Me (18 months - 3 years)
Our Caregiver & Me class is an introduction to preschool for children 18 months - 3 years and their caregiver.
For the '24-'25 school year this class will be offered Tuesdays 8:45am - 11:15am and/or Thursdays 8:45am - 11:15am.
It is the perfect introduction to playing with similar aged children while a caregiver is with them. Children can enroll as soon as they are 18 months old, provided there is space in the class.
Our schedule includes outside time, circle time, snack time (brought from home) and free choice time; we end the school day with additional outside time, a story, and our RPEP closing song. The caregiver follows his/her own child for the duration of the class time. Caregivers also participate in a community clean-up at the end of the free choice time.
Our monthly parent meetings provide valuable speakers on relevant topics pertaining to parenting and education as well as teacher instruction.
3's & 4's
Our 3's & 4's class is for children beginning at age 3, continuing into their early to mid 4's.
For the '24-'25 school year this class will be offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8:45 - 11:15am, with their caregiver volunteering in class one day per week.
Our schedule includes outside time, circle time, snack time (brought
from home) and free choice time; we end the school day with additional outside time, a story, and our RPEP closing song.
Caregivers assist the teacher with fun enriching activities, including:
-
planing sensory activities
-
planning art activities
-
other class activities
These activities are planned alongside other caregivers at our mandatory meetings, held on the second Tuesday of the month.
4's & 5's (Pre-K)
Our 4's & 5's class is for children ages 4 to 5 years olds, preparing to head to Kindergarten.
For the '24-'25 school year this class will be offered Monday through Thursdays 11:45am-2:15pm with their caregiver volunteering in class one day per week.
Children bring their own lunches and eat during our outside time. At school they enjoy outside play, circle time, and free choice time. Children also work on self regulation, letter, number and color recognition as well as handwriting skills, in our weekly Learning Without Tears program.
Caregivers assist the teacher with fun enriching activities, including planing sensory or art activities. Caregivers learn how to help children
get along and work through daily challenges.
The purpose of the class is to acquaint caregivers with the various stages of development of the preschool child, to recognize the importance of play and learn parenting methods. Caregivers will develop their skills as teachers and primary educators for their children in the preschool setting and at home. Instruction will be given using a laboratory for learning and practicing parenting skills.
Adult School Component
Roseville Parent Education Preschool (RPEP) is affiliated with the Roseville Adult School as a Parent Education Program. Being affiliated with RAS is beneficial for RPEP because they provide us with support, equipment, and facilities for our Parent Education meetings.
As RPEP members, caregivers are enrolled as Roseville Adult School students, complete ADA hours by meeting the participation requirements of the co-op, and help them attain annual goals. By paying our teachers' salaries and subsidizing our facility needs, RAS helps RPEP keep tuition costs very low in comparison to other preschool programs.
More information about RAS can be found below or on their website - Roseville Adult School
