If you are a family seeking preschool enrollment in the 2024-2025 school year and your child is at least 2.5 years old, you have come to the right place! Attending an Information Session at Rocky Mountain is the first step in getting to know our school and beginning the application process.

During this parents/caregivers-only session, we will introduce prospective parents to Rocky Mountain Participation Nursery School, our play-based morning and after programs, our mission, our parent education/participation component, and our cooperative structure. At the end of this meeting, you will have the opportunity to schedule a Drop-In visit to observe our morning program with your child.

Attendance for this adults-only Information Session is limited. A waitlist is provided for this meeting if registration exceeds capacity. Thank you for your interest in our school!

Rocky Mountain Participation Nursery School admits students of any ability, race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of ability, race, color, national and ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Thank you for your interest in our school!

Drop-In Visits

Drop-in visits for prospective families are scheduled in advance with the Membership Chair after they have attended an Information Session. We have a limited number of drop-in appointment openings available. Please contact us at membership@rockymountaincoop.com for more information.

The purpose of your drop-in visit is to observe the morning program at our school, witness our mission in action, see how we create a play-based learning environment for our children, and learn what parent involvement looks like during the school day.

You will be given a copy of our Drop-in Visit Guidelines before your scheduled appointment, please review it before coming. During the visit, you and your child are invited to share our facilities, join in on projects and activities, and enjoy a snack with the children. Please be aware that working adults will be focused on our children and are instructed to limit their engagement with visitors. We are all here to help each other, but please reserve your big questions and conversations for a follow-up discussion with the Membership Chair.
