Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

🐣 Spring brings the brightest smilies! The Toddlers, Twos and Threes experienced such joy during their egg hunts. We are wishing our community a weekend full of celebration! REMINDER: Day School is closed tomorrow for Good Friday and next week for Spring Break. We’ll see everyone back on April 13th. Happy Easter and enjoy the break! 🐰🌷

📸 THIS WEEK: Spring Photos 📸 Butterfly and Garden Room parents will take their children before school. All other classes will go with their educators during the day.

It was a cozy Friday at the Day School! We celebrated the wonderful success of the Spring Soiree - due, in part, to the children’s beautiful classroom creations - with a pajama day!

🌸🏇 The Day School’s Annual Spring Soirée, “Bet on Biscuit,” was a winning night to remember! This year, we proudly celebrated 20 years of our beloved mascot, Biscuit. Set against the beautiful backdrop of Boone’s Restaurant overlooking Bobby Jones Golf Course, guests enjoyed perfect weather, delicious bites, stunning auction items, and spirited Day School supporters who made the evening so special. Together, we raised over $75,000 in support of the Day School - an incredible testament to this community’s generosity! Thank you to everyone who attended, contributed to and bid on auction pieces, and to our amazing POPs Committee for bringing this unforgettable Derby-themed celebration to life!

We’re so LUCKY to experience holiday joy through the children’s eyes! 🍀🌈

👀✨ Sneak a peek into our classroom auction items! Each class created a piece that represents their children’s original identities and thinking. The auction goes live TONIGHT at 5:00! We’ll see you for the Spring Soirée on March 21st. 🌸🐎

Due to severe thunderstorms making travel unsafe, the school will delay opening until 9:30 a.m. on Monday, March 16. Be safe.

In both the studio and classroom environments, our Garden and Butterfly toddlers have been exploring color and texture through a variety of materials and surfaces. From creamy crayons, tempera powder, pastels, and multiple-sized paintbrushes to textured paper, canvas, transparent paper, projectors, pipe cleaners, and pegboards, each invitation encouraged curiosity and a sensory experience. As they worked, children were introduced to rich descriptive vocabulary like smooth, rough, and bumpy, allowing them to connect with and grow their language. Large collaborative pieces were intentionally placed to encourage movement across the body, supporting the crossing of the midline while children painted, reached, and created together. These experiences naturally blended fine motor skills with big body movements, providing our toddlers with the opportunity to develop their precision and strength. We love to see the pure joy that comes from the freedom to create!

Meet the Educators of the Window Room! Ms. Alina brings experience across many levels of education, giving her a strong understanding of what children can be exposed to now to help prepare them for where they’re headed next. She creates meaningful learning experiences through a variety of hands-on approaches and loose parts that spark curiosity, exploration, and creativity. Ms. Alina also shares her knowledge of different cultures and celebrations, giving children opportunities to learn about and appreciate the world around them.  Ms. Lindsey previously worked in the studio and brings a rich background in the arts to the classroom, offering experiences like clay, multi-layered art pieces, and long-term creative projects. She truly embraces learning alongside the children, approaching each day with curiosity and creativity. Ms. Lindsey is always thoughtfully evolving the content, presentation, and ways children interact with the activities she offers, inspiring exploration, imagination, and artistic expression. Together, Ms. Alina and Ms. Lindsey make the Window Room an exciting place to learn and grow! 🪟☀️
