The Roland Park Country School kindergarten program focuses on “learning how to learn” and is tailored to girls’ interests, strengths, and learning styles. Through a combination of direct instruction, hands-on exploration, movement, games, and songs, students build knowledge and hone skills that will prepare them for the school years ahead. Our teachers are proficient in presenting lessons that are designed to motivate and reach all learners. During this first year of their academic journey, kindergarten girls learn the value of both individuality and collaboration. Values, character education, and social emotional lessons are built into the curriculum. During this first year, the girls are introduced to the Toolbox Lesson Tools- 12 tools that help build resilience, self-regulation and empathy. Lessons for our kindergarten classes are specifically designed to build a solid foundation for success at RPCS.

Visiting the Baltimore Museum of the Arts

In their first experience in learning outside of the classroom and RPCS campus, the kindergartners supplement their art curriculum by visiting the Baltimore Museum of the Arts. Their experience is led by Ms. McAslan, the Lower School art teacher, so the students are engaged and comfortable in this new setting.

Singing with the Semis

A beloved tradition in the Lower School, every year the kindergarten partners with the Semiquavers, our Upper School auditioned singing ensemble group, in the spring concert. The girls form bonds that last multiple years and is another benefit of having all divisions under one roof.

Big Sister Program

The benefits of a small all-girls environment is highlighted in the Big Sister Program that is started in kindergarten. Each kindergartener is paired with a third grader as their "big sister". Throughout the year, the classes will meet up for crafts, reading, and more to create bonds and connections with other students in our community. The relationship continues with their big sister through first and second grade until they themselves transition to become big sisters.
