RPCNS is a part-time, parent-run, cooperative that provides nursery school classes for children aged 2, 3, and 4. Created in 1963, RPCNS was established by a group of parent parishioners from the Rockville Presbyterian Church. In 1969, the State of Maryland Department of Education granted fully accredited status, signified with a Certificate of Approval, to our school as a non-public nursery school.
We separately incorporated from the Rockville Presbyterian Church as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in 1985. RPCNS continues to offers high-quality, secular, preschool education under the guidance of an experienced director and qualified teachers. RPCNS welcomes children of all faiths, nationalities and races.

What is a Co-Op
Report
A cooperative by definition is a place that is "owned by and operated for the benefit of those using its services". In terms of a preschool cooperative, parents and teachers come together to teach, support and encourage 'their' children. We, as the parent members of RPCNS, are the operators of our school.
The Parent Experience
Report
A cooperative school is unique because the parents get to experience their child's education up close. They work with their child and others in their class in a hands on way. As a cooping parent, you will get to know all of the kids (and parents!) in your class, as well as the curriculum your child is learning.
