Riverhead Country Day School provides a high quality early childhood program for six-weeks to 10-year-old children in a warm, loving, play environment. We make every effort to meet each child's individual needs by offering an educationally sound program as well as providing a happy secure environment. Children need love and approval. Each child needs to feel that his own uniqueness has a valuable place in the world.
Riverhead Country Day School provides a stimulating, developmentally, hands-on, child-centered curriculum. The following activity areas are incorporated in our early childhood curriculum; Language Arts, Art, Science, Math, Dramatic Play, Social Studies, Music and Movement, Small Motor, and Gross Motor activities. All of our activities strive to help the young child become independent and self-sufficient. We encourage and foster curiosity and creativity.
Our teachers act as facilitators in the learning process. They prepare the environment for the young child; they question, interact and talk with the children. They are innovative, creative and enjoy children.

Our Mission
Our mission here at Riverhead Country Day School is to provide the families and children we serve with a safe, warm caring loving environment to play and lean in. Children will feel safe, secure and accepted. In order for children to grow and learn we must meet each child’s physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs.
Our Philosophy
We believe children learn through play. Children develop at their own rate. All children should have many opportunities to be exposed to a variety of hands on experiences and activities that foster growth. Activities should allow children to explore and make choices. Children will learn and grow when allowed to observe, create, question and make decisions.
