For more than 35 years, the Mini Mustang Preschool has been providing morning and afternoon preschool programs for the Rolling Meadows community. A one-to-one student to teacher ratio offers individualized attention to each preschooler. RMHS students in Parenting and Preschool classes develop high-level and unique education programs and teach groups of 8 preschoolers. High school student teachers learn to teach children math, language, science and music skills using hands-on discovery techniques. Most importantly, preschoolers learn to play with others in a supportive and caring environment.
