The Journey Begins Here…

Rock County Public Schools provides an opportunity for preschool aged children to prepare for Kindergarten and their future learning.  Our play-based, child centered program works with families to create a foundation of lifelong academic and social-emotional skills.

Our Philosophy 

In our preschool we believe that all children are active learners who learn best from activities they plan and carry out themselves.  This belief is used throughout the preschool day for each preschool section.  Learning occurs when children become intensely involved in activities or projects of their own design.  Children have daily opportunities to decide what they want to do.  The early childhood staff initially supports the child’s basic plan and then over time helps to expand on the range and complexity of the plan as the child develops the ability to think before acting.  Our classroom is a play oriented learning environment that is developmentally and age appropriate.
