About

St. Paul’s Day School is proud to offer a loving and creative program full of individual attention and group dynamics.

Because Joy and Kindness Matter

OUR MISSION
Our mission is to foster the growth and development of each child socially, academically and spiritually by providing a nurturing and safe environment. We strive to encourage wonder, support self paced learning and instill a sense of community.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
St. Paul’s Day School incorporates play-based learning to promote educational development in each of our students. Our teachers are dedicated to developing your child's learning potential and building a foundation for educational growth. We are passionate about your child's happiness and provide a safe, nurturing environment that cultivates each child’s developing independence and self-esteem. At St. Paul’s Day School, children are taught to respect one another and the staff. While St. Paul’s Day School is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools, we welcome families of all backgrounds and faiths and celebrate our resulting diversity.
Our Relationship with the Church
While we do not have a religious component to our curriculum, our 3 and 4-year-olds do engage with some of the church staff for special programming. By fostering a relationship with church staff, we promote an understanding of what this building is that houses our special little school.

Ann Post, Director of Children’s Education, meets with the children 2-3 times a year for Montessori style storytelling. Using parables, like the Good Samaritan or the Golden Rule, Ann uses hands on materials to illustrate moral or spiritual lessons. By linking the message to the children’s everyday lives, she challenges the children to consider how they might be more empathetic, compassionate and kind.

David Johnson, Director of Music, hosts the children in the Organ Loft. After a brief explanation of the instrument, he delights them with his extraordinary talent, paying songs like Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in a manner they have never before experienced. The birds eye view of the Sanctuary is pretty spectacular as well!

Day School families are always invited and welcome at any special events sponsored by the church: St. Nicholas Day, Palm Saturday, VBS arts camp.
