SSC Kindergarten Program
Hingham Campus
The Conservatory is accepting registrations for kindergarten classes for 2010/2011. For application, please email Stephanie Trembley with your name, your child's name and birthdate and mailing address.
South Shore Conservatory's arts-principled full-day kindergarten program combines traditional components of kindergarten, such as learning readiness and letter/number recognition, with considerable exposure to the performing arts. This innovative program sensitizes the student's natural learning process by using the arts as an educational tool, and prepares students to assimilate comfortably into any first grade program.
The kindergarten program serves as a nurturing outlet for creative expression, and as extended outlets of the Conservatory's Preschool and Pre-K programs. Arts components include vocal and instrumental music, dance, drama and expressive arts, all presented by South Shore Conservatory faculty members. Visual arts are presented by outside artists.

SSC kindergarten class celebrates their one hundredth day of school
On March 4, the kindergarten class celebrated their one hundredth day of school. This action- packed day was filled with math, science, and literacy activities involving 100; including self portraits of what they will look like at 100 years old. Each child also presented 100 of something they had gathered, collected or constructed to make a one hundred’s museum. New this year, the kindergartners organized themselves to form the number 100 on the lobby floor. Miss Karen’s pictures say 100 words!
