What Our Parents Have to Say:
Recently I was asked what makes us different from other preschools. I think that we’re very family-oriented striving to maintain the “old-fashioned” nursery school feel, but we’re so much more than just play! I decided to ask some of the parents what THEY think makes us special:
Our daughter, Sara, loves her time at Rocky Hill. The teachers are nurturing and make learning a fun experience. We also treasure the parent involvement. We know we will not always have the opportunity, when she moves on to grade school. It is something we are grateful to have- J. Egan

I sent my daughter Autumn to Rocky Hill Coop School because my sister’s kids all went there for preschool and til this day they talk about how much fun they had with Mrs.Linden and Mrs.White .Autumn comes home from school also excited about what she’s learning!

“Rocky Hill Cooperative Nursery School is a wonderful learning environment for my son. It has everything that I was looking for in a school and so much more. After having taught in a private preschool, kindergarten and first grade for 9 years, I wasn’t sure anything would live up to my very high standards. Luckily, I was wrong.
RHCNS has everything a parent and child could hope for. The love and care that come from each teacher and go into every learning experience with the children is unparalleled. From the very first moment my son set foot into the classroom at RHCNS, he was welcomed with warm and open arms, made to feel that his thoughts and ideas were of the utmost importance, filled with a sense that he is very much a part of the classroom and everything that goes on within its four walls and he is always actively engaged and challenged to do his best.
It is wonderful that included in every lesson is something that can touch the mind and heart of a young learner. The teachers find a way to make all of the material presented fun, important and meaningful to the children. Jack is always quite eager to share what exciting things went on in school and I LOVE hearing every detail. The staff is open, available and encourages and provides excellent parent/teacher communication. Often times, the teachers will recall a story or event that happened during the day without me even inquiring how the morning went. I look forward to the e-mails that come my way describing the day’s or week’s events as well as the blog on the school’s website. I really get to feel like I am attending right along with the children even when I am not there.
Not only are the children enjoying themselves but the parents are able to participate as well. From fundraisers and field trips to helping parent days, I get to be a big part of my child’s life and education. Jack and I both look so forward to each and every day we spend at Rocky Hill Cooperative Nursery School and I could not be more thankful that we found it, enrolled and fit right in from the very start.”
