Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

The Day School is partnering with the Church again this year for its annual Food Drive. Please consider making a donation to this wonderful cause. Donations will be accepted through October 29. Thank you!

Mondays at Saint Anne’s are blooming with possibility! Our wonderful Studio Educator, Grace, leads this special hands-on experience where children dig in, get their hands dirty, and discover the magic of growing things. Together, children plant, nurture, and harvest an ever-changing collection of plants, flowers, and vegetables throughout the Saint Anne’s campus. Along the way they discover how tiny seeds become something wonderful, explore the interconnectedness of ecosystems, and learn why caring for our earth matters.

It's time for Fall Pictures! Individual photos will take place on Monday, October 5 and Tuesday, October 6. See Procare messaging for more details.

This week’s Ballet & Tap Special with Day School Educator Ms. Alex was a wonderful success! Our Pre-K aged dancers got to experience the best of both worlds in one joyful class filled with movement, music, and plenty of fun. Our little tappers explored upbeat rhythms, energetic footwork, and the exciting sounds of tap, while our budding ballerinas practiced the grace, technique, and form that are the foundation of ballet and so many other dance styles. From tap-tap-tapping to graceful twirls, our young dancers are discovering the joy of movement, building confidence, and letting their creativity shine!

Welcome back to Biscuit’s Buddies, where we’re spotlighting Day School educators and staff, continuing with members of our administrative team! Ms. Amy welcomes everyone each day: our children, families, and visitors. As our Front Desk Administrator, she helps maintain a positive and safe environment in the front lobby while staying aware of where children and classes are throughout the day and during After Care programming. She keeps forms, records, and communications organized and running smoothly, supporting the daily logistics of the Day School. Her welcoming presence and care help create a warm and organized experience for everyone who walks through our doors. We’re grateful for the care and dedication Ms. Amy brings to The Day School community!

Today for Specials, our young artists stepped into the wonderful world of Studio Art with Ms. Alyssa! In this space, creativity takes center stage as children explore, experiment, and bring their unique ideas to life through individual projects and artistic discoveries. With an exciting array of materials and thoughtful prompts to spark their imaginations, each child is invited to follow their curiosity, express themselves, and create one-of-a-kind works of art.

It's almost time! Pumpkins, train rides, yummy food, ponies, and more -- Family Fall Fest is next week. Make sure to purchase your tickets today! See the link in our bio.

Thinking About Thinking The Bridge Room’s thread began with a child’s question: What is the Earth made of, and how is it so strong? As the children shared their ideas, more questions emerged, leading to the prompt: What do you wonder? Their wonder statements became a first step toward asking complex questions: How sharp are a lion’s teeth? How do we know how old trees are? Are princesses real? Families were invited into the thread, too, sharing a wonder for the children to consider. Next, the children moved into brainstorming. While investigating why fireflies glow, they developed a shared understanding of a “group think” - when we have a thought and say it out loud. Together, they used “The First Big Book of Why” to research for answers. In small groups, children brainstormed around their own wonders and used storytelling cards to spark new ideas. They arranged the cards, searched for clues in the pictures, and created stories that made sense to them. The thread continued to expand when one child drew a map of their brain, inspiring the educators to invite each child to do the same. They considered how their brain looks, thinks, and makes meaning. Through this thread, the children explored how thinking can be made visible, shared, questioned, and expanded. Their questions became pathways for deeper understanding, and reminded us that learning begins simply by wondering.

Parent Night 2026 What a beautiful evening of connection, discovery, and community at Saint Anne’s! Our families gathered to hear from Church, Day School, and POPs leadership, exploring the heart of our work and the values that guide us: intention, connection, and growth. Parents stepped into their children’s world, wandering through classrooms filled with thoughtful provocations, engaging documentation, and opportunities for meaningful conversation. We also got to hear about the JOY ABOUNDS! Capital Campaign and commemorative 60th anniversary scarves and pocket squares, both online for donation and purchase. The evening concluded with a joyful gathering on the piazza, where we celebrated the special connections that bring our community together and continue to strengthen the bridge between home and school. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who joined us and made the evening so memorable! And a big thank you to Parent Night Chairs Alison Davidson and Anne Wetmore for making the night come to life. We can’t wait to welcome our community back for Fall Fest on October 8!
