Katherine Hodgeman, owner and director of Rye Country Day School, has been offering quality early childhood education to the Seacoast Community for 36 years. Kathy opened her first school, Sunshine and Buttercups, on Central Road in Rye in 1974. As the needs of the community grew, Kathy opened Rye Country Day School at 1245 Washington Road, Rye, in 1992, operating both schools until 2004 when they integrated together into one facility at Washington Road in Rye. Rye Country Day School has been accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young children since 1997.

Built on four acres of meadow land, this spacious building houses several classrooms which are both self contained and fully integrated, providing an expansive and creative curriculum.

At Rye Country Day School children will enjoy active play areas both indoors and out. Bright and cheerful play structures sit on an open expanse of field. Wooded areas nearby promise guided nature exploration. Indoors, the large, carpeted recreation room is a welcome addition especially in inclement weather. Here children will participate in active indoor play, movement, art, music and dance.

At Rye Country Day School, children, parents, and teachers enjoy the pleasure of playing, working, communicating, problem solving, serving, exploring, inventing, and building a stronger community. Together we strive to make sense of our world and discover ways we can contribute to make it better with respect, acceptance, and friendship.

At Rye Country Day we provide a learning community for children and adults: a place where children are valued for their ability to do meaningful work, their wonder and curiosity, their perspectives, and their ability to play; a place where families are valued for their bonds and traditions, their commitment to work, home, and community, and their dreams for their children; a place where staff are valued for their vision, their delight in children, their skill, heart, and knowledge, a commitment to families, and an ability to play. We cherish what we learn from each other.
