About the provider

Roseville Parent Education Preschool has been operating since 1977. Children do not need to be fully potty trained to join RPEP, and each enrolled child must have a participating caregiver. Parents and caregivers take part in the classroom and school community, attend bi-monthly business and education meetings, complete maintenance hours, support fundraising, and hold a school job or committee position.

Open enrollment year-round depending on space availability. Small class sizes with 15 children max in each class. Potty training is not required for Bumblebee Class. Children do not need to be fully potty trained to join RPEP. Each enrolled child must have a participating caregiver, who may be a parent, grandparent, relative, or other trusted adult. Brightwheel and the Band app are used for current families.
