Admissions

Our 2025-26 application is open! 

Welcome to preschool admissions! Below is an overview of our process. We are always here to help, so if you have any questions, please reach out to us at admissions@rsprep.com.

All incoming students must be at least 2 years of age by August 31, 2025.

Important Dates

STEP 1: Application

Our application will guide you through the decisions on age group, as well as language and schedule preferences. At the end, you will be prompted to schedule a school tour with us.

We have two admissions cycles to select from: Early or Regular Admissions. Early applicants receive an increased rate of acceptance and their admissions notification in December. Regular applicants receive admissions notifications in February/March. The enrollment deposit is the same for both.
