About Riverdale Nursery School and Family Center

The Riverdale Nursery School and Family Center (RNSFC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was formed in 2002 with the goal of providing the highest quality early childhood education in a nurturing environment to children in the northwest Bronx, Westchester and upper Manhattan. The outstanding reputation of the staff and their many years of service in the area of early childhood education have provided RNSFC with a loyal community following right from its inception.

The Riverdale Nursery School and Family Center provides a developmentally appropriate, interactive educational environment for young children. Through its play-based program children construct cognitive, social, emotional and physical knowledge and skill, as well as develop a love of learning and positive attitude toward school.

RNSFC is a preschool committed to serving a diverse population. We embrace all learners and their unique developmental path. The school creates inclusive classrooms in which children with a wide array of abilities, interests, and challenges can learn and interact. RNSFC believes that all children should have the opportunity to be educated in the least restrictive environment that values and promotes the special attributes of each child.

RNSFC’s mission includes exposing children to the larger world, instilling a sense of social responsibility at a young age. Through hands on, experiential learning that encompasses the tenets and practices of an environmental curriculum, children develop an awareness of the natural world.

“Every child should start their school experience at RNS. It provides the perfect balance of warmth and nurturing while fostering independence and giving your child the tools to learn and grow. We love RNS.” – Nava Cohen
