Meaningful Learning for Life Starts Here

The Rosedale Day School Kindergarten Program offers a nurturing environment that prioritizes the holistic growth of each child. Our program combines social-emotional learning, evidence-based pedagogy, and ample opportunities for hands-on and experiential learning to ensure that students are well-prepared for the future. RDS's dedicated educators create a warm, curiosity-driven environment that creates meaningful experiences and fosters life-long learners.

Program Highlights

• Personalized Attention: We maintain a favorable student-teacher ratio with two teachers in each Kindergarten classroom and small class sizes. This ensures that we foster a true connection and understanding of each child to provide the support they need to thrive.
• Downtown Advantage: Our downtown location provides access to world-class facilities and unique experiential learning opportunities. Biweekly visits to the ROM extend literacy, math, and inquiry learning beyond the classroom.
• Social-emotional Learning: Important skills such as communication, problem-solving, and self-regulation are emphasized across the curriculum to support our students' well-being and growth as members of the RDS community.
• Evidence-based Instruction: Play-activated learning is balanced with structured programs to ensure students learn the foundational skills required for future success. Our literacy program, Really Great Reading, draws upon research-based best practices to build confident readers who are ready for the academic rigor of Grade 1 and beyond.
• Diverse Curriculum: Beginning in Kindergarten, our students engage in a variety of specialty subjects weekly, including French, music, art, and phys-ed.
