About
RCLS's popular Stepping Stones program occupies several classrooms in the primary wing of the school. Shaped by RCLS's core values, Stepping Stones is Grounded in Grace, Formed in Faith, and Committed to Learning for Life. A secure, nurturing environment; flexible scheduling with before and after-school care; and a Christ-centered, play-based learning program make RCLS's Preschool and Prekindergarten an extraordinary first school experience.
Readiness Training
The preschool and prekindergarten years are a time when a child’s brain is developing rapidly. These formative years present an opportunity for shaping skills that will support children in later stages of learning. In Stepping Stones, children practice:
- Curiosity
- Cooperation
- Listening
- Self-control
