RVCP offers a multi-age, social-emotional curriculum, with two teachers in the classroom, which enables us to meet the developmental needs of the children through authentic and meaningful relationships and activities. As children play and build relationships with each other and the grown-ups, they practice a variety of skills in which they experience both the role of expert and learner.
All decisions that we make as teachers start with the child at the center. Our image of the child is one who is complete, good, competent, powerful, creative, intelligent, inquisitive, enterprising, rooted in culture, empathic, cooperative, resilient and perseverant.

Services
Are themselves as they are today. We accept them without condition. All feelings are OK. Remember that it is OK for the children to make mistakes and act from their own experience. We can help them learn other ways of expression; mistakes are accepted as a part of learning. Observe, investigate, refuse and try.
Students attend 3 mornings and 4 afternoons a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 9:30am to 12:00pm and Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons from 12:30 to 3:30pm.

Rainier Valley Cooperative Preschool is piloting a sliding scale tuition model for the 2021-22 school year. This pilot will take effect in the Fall of 2021 and run for the duration of the 2021-22 school year. Our Board and Social Justice Committee will re-evaluate the pilot in December of 2021 to set tuition for the following school year.
We believe when parents engage in their child's learning, the experience is more rewarding for both child and parents. Our preschool is a parent-run co-op, and its success depends on everyone's contributions. Parent involvement promotes parent-child bonding, and creates confidence in kids and parents.
