KINDERGARTEN FEES: (Includes before/after school program)
Throughout the years, our Kindergarten has received recognition from area schools regarding our excellence and the advanced placement of students completing our program. It is a full day program including before and after school services as well as the Kindergarten curriculum. The instructional day is 8:30-3:00; children may attend 7:15-5:30. The weekly fee is the same as for a full week of preschool - $240, including before/after school care. There are no multiple children discounts available for Kindergarten. A one week’s fee in advance is required for registration,credited to the final week of enrollment. In addition, there is a $300 registration/ material fee that is non-refundable. WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE MILLCREEK SCHOOL CALENDAR; WE ARE OPEN EVERY DAY EXCEPT FOR SPECIFIC VACATION DAYS NOTED ON YOUR MONTHLY NEWSLETTER. We do require payment for the week between Christmas and New Year as we do provide care for our Kindergarten students that week. Payment is required regardless of attendance. Children begin their Kindergarten experience in June, but may attend half of their current schedule for the summer or a minimum of two days during that time, although enrollment is offered first to students who will be attending full time throughout the summer. Since the class size is limited to 12, it is critical to be placed on the waiting list as early as possible.

South Hills' Kindergarten curriculum emphasizes literacy, math, writing skills, social studies, multiculturalism, science, motor skills, computer, and sign language. Two certified teachers conduct the reading and math groups for individualized attention to each of the 12 students' skills.
The Kindergarten students participate in several special activities throughout the school year, including the writing, illustrating and publishing of their annual yearbook, "The Koala Bear." In April and May, the students are involved in the "The Young Authors Project." Following an in-depth study of how books are written, illustrated, and published, the students author and illustrate their own hard cover books, complete with author biography.
Public and parochial school feedback reveals that South Hills Kindergarten students demonstrate strong leadership qualities, confidence and high academic performance in elementary school.
