I truly think it's the best place in Richmond for kiddos 2-5. I wish my kids could go here forever. We are so thankful for the amazing staff and incredible care at this school. The kids get to learn by playing, being around other children both older and younger than them, different rooms set up for them, and the year is sort of made by the kids interest, they play outside, parents can volunteer and see how the days go, and we know all the kids and their families. It's a very safe, welcoming, and comfortable space to be. Couldn't recommend it more!

Our son has learned so much over the last two years, and we feel very prepared for kindergarten. This is such a unique environment as it's a smaller preschool but inside is full of so much for the kids to discover. Each day is truly different with the imaginative activities borne from the children's ideas. Our son always came home happy (and tired!), having had a full day each week. I can't say enough about how sweet these teachers are, and how respectful and kind they treat the children. The teachers send pictures so you get to see what they're doing each day. We will miss robots and mud pies, and would highly recommend it.

Starting at 2 years old they get to go the gym to work on Gross Motor Skills, each day. This is in addition to going outside to the playground. There is no other program that focuses on the Gross Motor Skills starting at such a young age. In addition, there is music, life skills, special events put on by the school to make the families feel included (Family Night, Donuts with Dads, Muffins with Moms, Christmas programs with the family, and so many more). I highly recommend River Road Preschool. You will not be disappointed!

When we initially met her at our tour, we just knew that she was in this field for all the right reasons. Our boys started at the school when it opened, and their teachers have been amazing. Their primary teacher, Miss Katie, has been so loving, and cares about our boys in the most genuine way. They have come so far with her and Miss JaVonne, and we feel so lucky that our boys are in her class. The school director, Molly, has a background in speech therapy, which is so evident in how she has been supporting our children's development. Thank you for giving our boys such a loving and safe transition into preschool! We are forever grateful

The consistent message from faculty is "thank you for trusting us with your child's education- we are so glad that you are here." This positive energy sets the tone for our entire experience. Our daughter has always been a hardworking student. But the incredible depth of experiences and resources offered, combined with the empowering atmosphere of the school, are clearly promoting leadership qualities. It is evident to us that she is thriving in the all-girls setting, and she is much more willing to be assertive, take risks, and be herself. I'm sure there are many great academic programs to choose from in our area, but seeing our daughter develop into a confident leader... we could not ask for more. The amazing list of extracurricular choices- many sports teams to choose from every season, dance, theater, music- it really can't be beat. We are also amazed at the group of girls in her grade- friendly, kind, out-going kids. We're so grateful that we chose St. Catherine's (and they chose us!).
