School Overview

The RISE PreSchool (Reading Integrated School Experience), located at 62 Oakland Road in Reading, Massachusetts, is an inclusive early childhood program operated by the Reading Public Schools. The program is designed to serve a diverse group of students, integrating children with identified special needs alongside typically developing peers. By fostering a collaborative learning environment, RISE aims to support the developmental, social, and academic growth of all its students during their foundational years.

The curriculum at RISE is structured to promote school readiness through play-based learning, social-emotional development, and individualized instruction. Because it is part of the broader Reading Public School district, the preschool adheres to state educational standards and benefits from access to specialized staff, including speech pathologists, occupational therapists, and early childhood educators.
