DISCOVER OUR PROGRAMS
for 2025–2026
At RPEP, every program is rooted in play, curiosity, and community. We believe children learn best when they are actively engaged, exploring the world around them with the support of caring adults. Our cooperative model invites parents and caregivers to be part of the learning process, creating a strong bridge between home and school and a true community of learners. Each class follows a consistent and comforting rhythm that encourages both routine and discovery: outdoor play, circle time, free choice, sensory play, snack, more outdoor time, and goodbyes. Within this structure, children are free to imagine, explore, and grow at their own pace.
Toddler & Me
Special Offer for New Families:
Thinking about joining Toddler & Me? There’s never been a better time — we’re waiving the $75 registration fee for November! Come join us for playful mornings full of fun.
Days: Tuesday and/or Thursday*
Time: 8:45 – 11:15 a.m.
Ages: 18 months – 3 years
Monthly Tuition: $90 for one day / $162 for two days (20% off the second day)
Explore and learn through play, side by side with your child. This child-led, play-based class invites curiosity, creativity, and connection, supporting each child’s unique developmental journey.
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.
Through guided activities, parent education, and shared experiences with other families, this program supports the growth of both the child and the adult, laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning and connection.
*Toddler & Me will move to Tuesdays only starting December 1st. This is temporary, and we hope to offer Thursdays again soon. Interested in the Thursday option? Tell us in the Community Feedback form!
3-Day Multi-Age (AM Class)
Days: Monday, Wednesday, Friday
Time: 8:45 – 11:15 a.m.
Ages: 3 – 5 years
Monthly Tuition: $270
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.
Each day offers a balance of guided activities, imaginative play, and open-ended exploration. Children develop early skills in literacy, math, and critical thinking while developing independence and a growing sense of confidence.
Parent participation is a key part of our program. Families join the classroom once a week to support learning, engage with the children, and strengthen the home-school connection that defines our cooperative community.
Throughout the year, both our Toddler & Me and AM classes enjoy local field trips that extend classroom learning into the world around us. Whether exploring a pumpkin patch, visiting the library, or discovering nature at a nearby park, these experiences encourage curiosity, community connection, and hands-on exploration outside of campus.
Continuing the Fun Beyond the School Year
In addition to our school-year programs, RPEP families can continue the joy of play and discovery through our Summer Camps, a lively extension of our play-based philosophy.
In past years, PEP offered an afternoon (PM) class for families who preferred a later schedule. While the class is not currently in session due to lower enrollment, we'd love to bring it back in the future - and your feedback can help make that happen!
If you'd be interested in a PM class option for your child, please let us know by completing the short form below.

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.
From space adventures and dinosaur discoveries to bug hunts, ocean explorations, and nature investigations, each week invites children to dive into a new world of hands-on learning and joyful play.
Our camps are led by our dedicated teachers and supported by parent volunteers, keeping our hallmark 1:5 ratio and community spirit alive through the summer months. We also offer opportunities for our youngest learners to join in the fun with a caregiver, ensuring every child can be part of the RPEP experience.
Details for each summer’s camps, including themes, schedules, and registration information, are announced in the spring.
Please note: Summer camp offerings are dependent on staffing and enrollment. Final availability will be determined based on interest and teacher participation each year.
How to Enroll
At Roseville Parent Education Preschool (RPEP), enrollment is open year-round depending on space availability. Our small class sizes — about 12 children in Toddler & Me and 18 in the AM Class — allow us to create an intimate, welcoming atmosphere where every family is known and valued. We welcome new families whenever there’s an opening and invite you to reach out to learn more.
Who Can Enroll
Children do not need to be potty trained to join RPEP. Each enrolled child must have a participating caregiver, but that person doesn’t have to be a parent — grandparents, relatives, and other trusted adults are all welcome. Because RPEP is a cooperative preschool, every caregiver becomes part of our learning community and plays an important role in the classroom experience.
Family Participation
As a parent participation preschool, RPEP runs on teamwork. Families help our school flourish by taking part in monthly parent education meetings, completing maintenance hours, supporting fundraising, and holding a school job or committee position. These shared efforts help us maintain a safe, high-quality environment while keeping tuition affordable for everyone. Learn more about what participation looks like on our Family Responsibilities page.
Tuition and Fees
Tuition varies by program. Because RPEP is a cooperative, family participation and fundraising help keep our costs low while maintaining the quality and safety of our school. Please contact us for current tuition rates and fee information.
