The Ross Preschool is a progressive, non-profit preschool with an emphasis on social and emotional development and a strong sense of community among families. Its mission states that 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. The mission also states that the school aims for play and learning to be seamless, with an environment that supports security, happiness, curiosity, exploration, and experimentation so children can become confident, independent, and eager to greet each new day.
Families describe The Ross Preschool as having a warm, nurturing environment with talented and caring teachers and an actively involved leadership team. Testimonials note a strong emphasis on social and emotional development, thoughtful communication with parents, and a very strong parenting community that includes families from different towns in central Marin. One parent describes a 100% outdoors camp experience with arts and crafts, STEM projects, read alouds, and many chances for children to engage in choice time and social interaction with peers. Several parents report that their children felt loved, special, and at home at the school, and one child refers to it as a “happy place.”
