admission

Our top priority is ensuring that our program is the right fit for your child and family. To help with this, we kindly ask that you first review RCS's Participation Readiness guidelines below. These guidelines are designed to provide clarity about our program and set expectations for a successful partnership.

At RCS, we are dedicated to fostering a community where students feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn, grow, and thrive in a nurturing environment.

To begin the admissions process, please follow these steps:

1. Schedule a Tour & Conversation
Join us for a campus tour and an opportunity to meet with our team. We’ll share more about our philosophy, daily routines, and answer any questions you may have.  Please call us or text us at (916) 304-4774. 

2. Review Program Details
Take time to explore our program offerings, fees information, and parent participation expectations to ensure alignment with your family’s values and needs.

4. Complete an Application
If RCS feels like a good fit, the next step is to complete our registration form to officially start the enrollment process.  There is a one-time, non-refundable application fee of $125. 

5. Family Interview & Child Visit
We'll invite you for a family meeting and a child visit for a trial class. This helps us get to know your child and ensures we can provide the best support for a smooth transition.

6. Enrollment Decision & Next Steps
Following the visit, we’ll communicate enrollment decisions and guide you through the final steps for joining our community.

Participation Readiness

At RCS, we prioritize the social, emotional, and academic development of our students. We strive to create an open and safe environment that encourages independence and creativity. Our unique philosophy and setting require an age-appropriate level of self-regulation and participation readiness to ensure that all students can grow, learn, and thrive in a secure and supportive environment. 

Please review the list below to ensure that your student is ready to participate at RCS. We understand that any child may have an “off day.” However, we expect that for most of the time, RCS students are capable of and willing to:

• Separate from caretaker(s) in order to participate

• Follow teacher’s direction

• Respond to challenging situations without resorting to physical violence or verbal aggression.

• Independently transition between activities and adapt to minor changes in routines

• Perform tasks without constant one-on-one adult support

• Stay with the class/refrain from wandering off

• Dress, use the restroom, and wash hands independently

• Voice needs or concerns to get support

If your child has any special needs or you have any concerns about your child's readiness for participation in our program, please contact us.
