Kindergarten Kindergarten Kindergarten is an exciting and fun-filled time in a child's life. Children meet new friends, interact with new teachers and expand their knowledge of the world. The full-day program at Rolling Hills provides an interactive and developmentally appropriate environment in which children participate in an array of learning activities.
Children interact both socially and physically within their environment.
The academic and social challenges assist them in becoming critical thinkers and life-long learners. Our Kindergarten curriculum offers an integrated, thematic approach to learning. Within each thematic unit, the children strengthen their literacy skills through the use of big books, repetitive books and many other literature-rich materials. Children make predictions about the text, recognize capital and lower-case letters, associate sound with letters, and participate in the reading and writing of stories. During integrated math lessons, the children work independently or in cooperative groups to sort, extend patterns, count and problem solve.
