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!

Both of our kids gained invaluable knowledge, experiences, and skills that went above and beyond a "typical preschool". Everything from the compassionate and creative teachers to the incredible daily communication and numerous family events the school hosted were all top notch. Our family truly couldn't have asked for a better early education for our children. While we'll miss going to RAMPP everyday now that our youngest is moving on to elementary school, the solid foundation our kids received is a permanent part of their lives forever. Thank you RAMPP! Cheers to many more years of satisfied families and children who are more than ready to start their formal schooling.

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

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).
