Our Mission
RCC is a non-profit educational institution whose purpose is to offer a nationally accredited, comprehensive, and innovative model of early childhood education, within a nurturing and creative setting that is responsive to the changing needs of children and their families.
Accredited Since 1987
RCC is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare. RCC also adheres to all licensing requirements of DPW, repeatedly earning perfect scores during the annual licensing inspection.
While state licensing is important, RCC does not believe it goes far enough. In 1987, we became the first child care center to achieve accreditation by the National Academy of Early Childhood Programs (NAEYC)-a voluntary system designed to help raise the quality of all types of preschools, kindergartens, child care centers, and school-age child care programs-and have maintained accreditation continuously since then. This means that we adhere to high standards of health and safety, staff-child relationships, age-appropriate learning experiences, and parental involvement, with the greatest emphasis on the quality of interactions among staff and children and the developmental appropriateness of the curriculum.
Today, less than 10% of the state-licensed child care centers in Western Pennsylvania are NAEYC-accredited.
RCC has earned the top rating-four stars-under Pennsylvania's Keystone Stars program, which recognizes child care providers who exceed state health and safety licensing requirements.
