Welcome to RCS

Where every child is known by name

RCS is more than a learning center. It’s a community where children grow at their own pace, through hands-on, project-based learning rooted in social-emotional growth and creativity.

We offer flexible full-time and part-time programs for kindergarten through 6th grade, and we’re a certified vendor for six Placer County charter schools.

Why families choose RCS

A different kind of education

Hands-On Exploration

Cooking, gardening, STEAM projects and field trips. Children learn by doing, not just listening.

Programs for every learner

Where will your child take flight?

Programs overlap by age, so your child may fit more than one. The most openings right now are in our Robins and Hummingbirds.
