Round Hill
Nursery School
Round Hill Nursery School is an independent nursery school located in the backcountry of Greenwich for nearly eight decades, offering a comprehensive learning experience, beginning at age 2 through Pre-K. Our children’s experiences encourage growth in social, physical, cognitive, and creative areas.
Our History
Round Hill Nursery School was founded in 1946 to provide a quality first learning experience for three and four-year-old children in the backcountry of Greenwich. In 1984, recognizing and responding to the changing needs of families in Greenwich and the surrounding communities, the “First Step” program was established. This program provides for the social and emotional development of two-year-olds exclusively. Today, nearly eight decades after its founding, Round Hill Nursery School provides a superior early learning experience for children from Greenwich and neighboring towns.
Our Programs
The Curriculum at Round Hill Nursery School offers our children stimulating classroom experiences that encourage growth in social, physical, cognitive and creative areas. Our program emphasizes activities that focus on gross and fine motor skills, language development, pre-reading, pre-writing and pre-math skills, the creative arts and social and emotional growth. Whether your child is at First Step (2s), Upper School (3s & 4s), or our new Baby Step playgroup for in-house families, we are confident they will have a rewarding experience at Round Hill Nursery School.
Our Families
At Round Hill Nursery School, we value a close, cooperative, and supportive partnership between home and school. Open communication is the cornerstone of our approach. There are multiple opportunities to share observations, discuss progress, and address any concerns. Ongoing communication touches on all areas of your child’s growth and we encourage families to be active participants in this process.
Parents are welcome to share their time and talents in ways that suit their interests and availability. Our parent community is deeply involved in the life of the school and is one of our most valued assets.
Our Students
Round Hill Nursery School has a diverse student body of 80 children from Greenwich and the neighboring communities. All applications are considered without regard to race, color or creed. Diversity is reflected in many meaningful ways at our school, as we warmly embrace the cultures, traditions, and routines of all of our families.
We are able to provide a limited number of scholarships each year to those families demonstrating need.
