Rye Presbyterian Nursery School (RPNS) is a non-profit preschool for 300 children ages 2 to 5 located in the heart of Rye, NY. As an outreach program of the Rye Presbyterian Church (RPC), RPNS is non-denominational and welcomes families of RPC, Rye and surrounding areas.
As a progressive preschool, inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, RPNS provides a child-centered, play-based program. We build our curriculum by listening to children’s interests and ideas and then working collaboratively with them to create long-term projects and investigations around these ideas. We integrate goals for each child into our studies, so every child is nurtured, supported, and challenged.
