Ravinia Nursery School

My son started at RNS in January of this year, and we have been blown away. The teachers, the facilities, the curriculum, the other parents. All of it is impressive. It’s a fantastic little community. We can’t wait to get our younger son enrolled once he’s old enough.

We have absolutely loved the last three years at Ravinia Nursery School. My son has made so many friends and I know he will be amply prepared for starting kindergarten next fall. My younger son just started and is already doing great! The teachers are incredible - warm, engaging, and so committed to providing a quality preschool education. I can’t say enough about how positive our experience has been.

Ravinia Nursery School has the most warm and friendly environment - the teachers and the school. My daughter is THRIVING at school and loves going each day. The teachers and parents have become friends, which makes it feel like family. If you are looking for a nursery school that focuses on learning through play, look no further! I just love this little blue school :)

Ravinia Nursery School has been one of the greatest blessings in our family’s life. The staff and building provide such a warm, nurturing, engaging environment that my boys can’t wait to get to each day. They have fostered a love of learning in my children that I will be forever grateful for.
Moreover, this school has blessed our family with some lifelong friends. We began at RNS new to HP, wondering how we would ever meet people. The sense of community at this school is so strong that within a few months we not only felt a part of the school’s family but felt connected to our new Highland Park community as well.
Ravinia Nursery School was the best decision we ever made.

I can't say enough good things about Ravinia. I've had two children attend Ravinia throughout a period of 6 years. The staff remains nearly 100% the same, meaning attrition is not pervasive as it is in other schools. The teachers are nurturing, caring and playful. While a play-based school structure, the education helps them prepare for kindergarten unlike other schools I've seen in the area. The sense of community among the families is the final reason I really love this school. We've made life-long friendships that will continue even if our children don't go to the same school district. I'd highly recommend checking out the school and taking a tour with Kathy, our school director. I promise you won't be disappointed.

I can not say enough great things about RNS! When I brought my son in to observe the parent-child class a year ago, I knew from that day on that we could never see ourselves anywhere else. My son walked right in and felt comfortable with the teachers and the environment. From the school, to the staff, and even their summer camp...absolutely wonderful! You will not find a director better than Kathy Olsen. She's the MOST accommodating, warm, and kind hearted person. We can't wait for all the memories our family will create at RNS!

Choosing RNS was one of the best decision for our children! The teachers and staff are incredible. The atmosphere is so warm & family oriented. It is such a wonderful place to learn, make friends, & grow as a whole!

Ravinia Nursery School was the best decision I made for my kids and family. It's such a loving community, the teachers are outstanding, and the parents are down to earth. If you visit this nursery school, you won't want to leave!

We love RNS! There is the perfect balance of social, academic, and emotional learning. My girls have grown so much at this school. The staff is wonderful and the whole place feels like a family.

I honestly can not imagine a better nursery school experience. Although the school is play based, the kids are constantly learning new things (often when they don’t even realize it). Some of the things they do in class include art, music, reading, experiments and outside play. They also do a more in depth unit that changes every year based on what that class expresses interest in. The “two can” class (for 2.5 year olds) was amazing for my kids who previously didn’t separate well from mom- it was a great way for them to learn to socialize with other kids and learn to love school. My son went into kindergarten well prepared, loving learning and school. Most importantly, this group of teachers genuinely cares about the kids and all seem to love what they do.

Their project-based approach to learning is truly unique and such a fun thing to see your child be a part of. RNS has been a great introduction to learning for my child. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

Can't say enough about how our daughter has flourished at RNS. Amazing staff and approach that keeps the kids (and parents) always engaged. Would recommend RNS to any parent up in the area.

Warm, compassionate, dynamic teachers in a stimulating environment who prepare children for kindergarten.
