The Roscommon Area Public Schools Preschool Program was developed under a grant awarded by the Michigan Department of Education's Great Start Readiness Program.

This program is located with Roscommon Elementary School.

RAPS GSRP provides a developmentally appropriate program in a safe and nurturing environment, which promotes social, emotional, physical, and cognitive growth.

Our goals foster a positive self-concept and develop socialization and school readiness skills.

Experiences, geared to the age group as well as individual needs of each child are provided.

Long-lasting partnerships between school, family, and community are initiated.

The teaching team uses the Connect4Learning curriculum to gently guide each child's learning as they make discoveries using an active participatory approach.

Children's developmental progress is assessed through daily observation that aligns to the curriculum.

Because learning is a life-long process for children and adults, and it is necessary to make continued improvements, the program and staff are evaluated on a regular basis using a Program Quality Assessment.

The results are used to guide the teaching team toward a higher quality experience for all children in the program.
