Admissions
Welcome to preschool admissions!
Our application for 2026-27 is closed. Please email us at admissions@rsprep.com with any program availability inquiries and general questions.
Below please find an overview of our process.
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.
STEP 2: Tour
STEP 3: Parent Meetings
All prospective families will attend a parent meeting. Early applicant meetings will be scheduled before December 9th and Regular applicant meetings will be scheduled for early 2026.
Parent meetings are an opportunity for our team to learn more about your family and your goals for your child’s early childhood education. Meetings are for parents only and are approximately 20 minutes.
Open House
We’d love to invite you in person to meet the RSP family! This optional evening opportunity gives you the chance to tour our facility, meet our administration, and learn more about our philosophy, staff, and programs. Nothing beats seeing the school in person!
