Curriculum
The curriculum for Rocky Hill Cooperative Nursery School has been developed using NJ State guidelines, input from the Montgomery Public Schools Kindergarten teachers, and many years of teaching experience!
The literature-rich curriculum provides children opportunities to retell stories, put on plays, puppet shows, and compare and contrast different versions of the same story! Academic skills are introduced naturally, giving children many hands-on opportunities to learn!
Our Director, Gerianne Linden has been intrigued by Richard Louv’s The Last Child in the Woods: Saving our Children from Nature Deficit Disorder and has implemented more hands-on nature activities for the children. Children have more opportunities to be surrounded by plants and ‘critters’, all which need their care!
As always, the students at RHCNS enjoy approximately one field trip a month and have many ‘guest stars’ in class!
New in 2008: Our “Grandfriends” at Stonebridge at Montgomery Assisted Living! Monthly intergenerational activities allow seniors and preschoolers to interact and have fun! Whether it’s bowling, singing, or making a craft, smiles cross the generations!
We go outside everyday and enjoy our beautiful playground.
Rocky Hill Co-op is a warm, loving place to learn and grow!
