Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

Mark your calendars for this year's Parent Night! On Thursday, September 24 at 6:00PM you will hear from the Day School, Church, and POPs leadership about all the wonderful things happening at Saint Anne's. Visit your child's classroom, and enjoy an evening of drinks and light bites in our Outdoor Classroom piazza. We look forward to seeing you there!

Welcome to Biscuit’s Buddies, where we’ll spotlight The Day School educators and staff, starting with our administrative team! Ms. Rhonda has been the director of The Day School since 2021. A career change 20 years ago brought her into education, where she has served children and their families in a variety of roles. She has a deep love for children and is truly committed to being a lifelong learner. Ms. Rhonda brings a calm presence to every interaction, whether with children, educators, or families. She is steady and thoughtful in her leadership and is continuously reflecting on The Day School’s growth and service to the community. Ms. Cole has been a part of The Day School since 2006 and has served in multiple roles, making her way from classroom educator to the Administrator for School Operations and Enrichment Programs. She helps ensure our school systems run smoothly, connects Day School operations to Enrichment Programs, and consistently makes sure every child is safe and where they’re supposed to be. Her ability to uphold expectations and follow through on decisions helps keep our programs running smoothly. We’re so grateful for the dedication, leadership, and care these two bring to The Day School community each day!

While transitioning on the grounds, the children in the Girasol classroom noticed Grace, our studio educator, harvesting carrots from our community gardens. This simple moment sparked questions and thinking around the garden, what grows within it, and what comes from it. Grace then offered the freshly harvested carrots to the class, inviting the children into a deeper exploration. With magnifying glasses, observation drawings, and a taste test, the children engaged their senses as they wondered, observed, and connected with the natural world around them. A beautiful reminder of how moments of discovery can unfold when we slow down, notice, and follow the children’s curiosity. 🥕🌱

This morning Saint Anne’s families came together to kick off a wonderful new school year at our first Parent Chat! We welcomed both new and returning families for a lovely morning filled with conversation, connection, and community. What a wonderful way to begin another year together! Tune in to next month’s Parent Chat which will cover outplacement and the independent school admissions process.

It’s that time of year! Fall Specials are just around the corner! Registration opens tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., so be sure to keep an eye on your inbox for the sign-up link. We can’t wait to see what fun is in store this fall!

It's the first Parent Chat of the year, and we are so excited to invite you to a morning of refreshments and mingling! All parents are invited!

🌱 Nesting Room’s first thread of the year! 🍅 On the first day of school, the Nesting Room students took a visit to the class garden beds that Nesting room students planted last spring. As they explored, the garden sparked conversations about the connections between living things, gardens, and the food we eat. Tomatoes were harvested and brought inside for investigation! With magnifying glasses in hand, children closely observed the tomatoes, noticing their colors, sizes, and varieties. They expressed that while tomatoes are often pictured as bright red, the tomatoes growing in our garden were orange, yellow, and green! These observations opened the door to conversations about similarities and differences. Educators then posed the question: “How can tomatoes be prepared?” Children were invited to explore through a taste test featuring fresh tomatoes, pasta sauce, tomato soup, and salsa. As they tasted, they discovered more about their senses, shared observations, and how our personal preferences can be wonderfully different. What an incredible start to the 2026–27 school year. We can’t wait to see where the children’s questions, ideas, and discoveries take us.

Calling all Saint Anne's moms! Join us for a fun evening of Margaritas & Mamacitas on Wednesday, September 9 from 6:30pm-9:00pm. Invitation to follow.

Another wonderful day as we welcomed Tuesday/Thursday friends for their first day of school!
