Our History
Riverside Park Nursery School (RPNS) was established in 1970, by a group of concerned parents who recognized the need for a preschool program in the area. Originally run by the Riverside Inter-Church Social Action Council as a non-profit organization, the school was incorporated in 1977 and has since been run by a volunteer Board of Directors. Its continued success results from the dedication of Board members and the support of parents working with the teaching staff.
The school has been integrated since 1987. We have a high caliber of qualified, professionally-trained and dedicated teachers. All staff must have successfully completed the requirements for a Certificate Diploma in Early Childhood Education. You are encouraged to discuss with them any questions or concerns relating to your child or the school in general.
