Roseville Parent Education Preschool

RPEP, Where Play Leads the Way!

Inspiring curiosity, creativity, and connection through play-based learning

About us

Roseville Parent Education Preschool(RPEP) is a non profit 501(c)(3) parent-participation school for 18 months to 5 year old children. RPEP provides a trusting and caring environment for our children to live, learn and play.

Parent participation is the backbone to RPEP preschool's philosophy and strength. Our Caregiver & Me families attend classes with their children, while our AM parents work one day a week in the classroom. With the help of our parents we maintain a 1:5 ratio with the help of our parents.

Every family plays an important role by contributing to fundraising efforts, volunteering for a school job, and creating art and sensory activities in the classroom. Every other month, at least one parent is asked to attend a provided parent education class. These meetings are great opportunities to connect with our preschool community, hear valuable updates from the board, and engage in informative sessions led by experts on topics that support our children's education, well-being, and growth.

Dates: November 18th & 20th

Time: 9:00-11:00 AM

Toddler & Me

In Toddler & Me, parents and caregivers are active participants in their child’s learning, not just observers. Together, families and teachers create a nurturing environment that encourages social-emotional growth, confidence, and discovery.

3-Day Multi-Age Class (AM Class)

Our morning multi-age class provides a warm, play-based introduction to preschool in a nurturing, community-focused setting. Children explore, create, and learn through hands-on experiences that foster problem-solving, self-regulation, and empathy.

Summer Camps

When the school year winds down, the fun doesn’t stop at RPEP! Each summer, we offer a series of themed four-day play-based camps designed to spark curiosity, creativity, and exploration.

Our Client Reviews

Shaina Milosevic

Our year at RPEP has been amazing! The teachers are very patient and flexible and the community feels like a big family. We love that there are large outdoor play areas and that majority of the school day is spent outside. The play based philosophy allows the kids freedom to explore and be themselves while learning through a variety of hands-on experiences. My family’s biggest challenge has been overcoming separation, but RPEP teacher’s have been happy to make an individualized plan for us in order to create success and now my daughter smiles and waves as I drop her off, which I NEVER dreamed of. We trust the space and the people and we are so grateful for finding such a special and unique preschool.
