THE HISTORY OF ROCKHOUSE PRESCHOOL

Harold and Mary Elizabeth Harper, were married here in Flagstaff during October of 1937. A few years later the couple built their home at 414 W. Cherry Avenue where the house still stands today. There Harold and Mary Liz raised their five children. In later years, the couple decided to build another home and turn their Cherry Street home into a preschool.

Rockhouse Playschool was established in 1969 with 10 kids in attendance. In the late 1970’s, Rockhouse added a new addition that included a large gym and two classrooms. Today Rockhouse Playschool takes care of children 6 weeks old through 5 years old, and can accommodate 80+ children. Rockhouse Playschool has been family-owned and operated for over 40 years.
