Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

🌱 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.

Check out what’s happening at the Day School this month!

Pre-Planning Week 2 is off to a productive and meaningful start! Our educators and staff have come together to focus on our shared purposes and how our daily practices reflect those purposes throughout the school and community. Our work has featured Environment & Documentation Walks, the creation of Curriculum Webs and Planning Tools, roundtable discussions with partnering specialists, and so many more intentional dialogues. The educators continue to collaborate as classroom, age-level, and school-wide teams to apply their takeaways to every part of the child’s experience. With positive mindsets and open hearts, we cannot wait to welcome the children back for what is shaping up to be an incredible year!
