AN AMAZING SCHOOL
Filled With Happy Children & Families
Preschool should be a magical, joyful place where children are free to run, play, laugh, sing, dance, create, paint, imagine, discover, get dirty, and be loved and accepted for who they are. We strive for play and learning to be seamless in our classrooms, never once forgetting that for each child the quality of this first school experience will last a lifetime.
Our task is to create an environment that gives each child a feeling of security and happiness while encouraging curiosity, exploration, and experimentation – the stepping stones to learning. We want our children to become confident, independent, and eager to greet the possibilities of each new day.
If the idea of having your child play and learn with other kind, happy kids sounds good to you, we warmly invite you to learn more and to join our community on this exciting journey, filled with love, laughter, and lots of playful learning!
The Ross Preschool is a progressive preschool filled with happy children engaged in playful learning
This preschool is truly one-of-a-kind. Our son attended for two years and had the most wonderful experience in every way. The teaching staff is the best of the best, the play-based curriculum includes everything from art and music to math and science. The emphasis on social/emotional development is very strong and the sense of community among the families is wonderful!!
Erin BudlongThe warm, nurturing environment of the school absolutely draws you in and my twins constantly made comments like "our teachers really love us" and "we feel really special" - completely unprompted!! Kids this age learn by DOING and by exploring, and this school offers them every opportunity to figure things out on their own while being gently guided by the teachers
Diana HeinzThe Ross Preschool (TRP) is a place that any child and family is blessed to have in their memory book. David and teachers communicate with parents thoughtfully, often, and well in advance, so you always feel in the know. My child feels loved and at home at TRP. His mind is inspired to think creatively and independently and he's given the tools and encouragement to thrive. He calls it his 'happy place.'
Christie KragelMy 4 year old just finished camp at The Ross Preschool. Wow! The teachers are amazing. It was 100% outdoors with so many fun and educational activities that kept my son so engaged. He ran to camp every day with such enthusiasm. Every day seemed to be a new adventure, with wonderful arts and crafts, stem projects, read alouds, and lots of choice time and opportunities for kids to grow their social skills with other friends.
Stephanie KWe spent 3 years at the Ross Preschool and my twins loved every minute! While it is a beautiful school with a great outdoor space- it is all about the teachers and the warm and loving environment they create. There is also a very strong parenting community that come from different towns in central Marin. I appreciate this in that my kids will now know kids from different schools and I was able to meet a variety of parents.
