Early Learning

At Riviera Christian School and Childcare, we offer two early learning programs: Daycare and a Preschool Recorded Program (Preschool 3 and Preschool 4).

About RCS Daycare

The RCS Daycare was initially opened for the purpose of providing childcare for the families of school staff and younger siblings of elementary students. As capacity increased, daycare services were extended to other families in the surrounding areas as well. The RCS Daycare still prioritizes the needs of school staff and school families. Families who come to Riviera for daycare are eligible for “in-house” enrollment if they choose to continue with preschool or elementary.

    Daycare Overview

    The RCS Daycare includes three components:

    • Daycare for Infants through Toddlers: Year-round program, ages eight weeks through two years old, open from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm.
    • Daycare Preschool: Year-round program, ages 3-5, open from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm.
    • School-Age Childcare: Riviera students have access to before and after school care. All day care is available during summer break for children under age 12.

    The Riviera Christian School Foundation Tuition Aid has been established for families who desire to have their children at RCS but require financial assistance to make that possible. Applications can be accepted after students are registered for the upcoming year. A link will be available on our website after enrollment begins, and a $40 processing fee will be due, payable to FACTS. Funds for financial assistance are limited and disbursed based on financial need. All documentation must be submitted before applications can be processed.
