Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

Welcome back to Biscuit’s Buddies! This week, we’re highlighting our Studio Educators, Grace Mantle and Alyssa Scarboro. Grace brings a thoughtful and intentional approach to the studio. They have a strong understanding of the Reggio Emilia philosophy and carefully considers the materials, offerings, and provocations and invitations. They believe deeply in the value of listening to children’s voices and ensuring their ideas, questions, and discoveries are represented throughout their creative processes. Ms. Alyssa brings an inventive spirit to the studio, thinking outside the box to connect with each child and create meaningful opportunities for exploration. She is excited by trying new approaches and embracing the possibilities that emerge when educators learn alongside children. Her willingness to experiment, reflect, and follow children’s ideas gives true meaning to the Reggio Emilia philosophy of learning together. Both Grace and Ms. Alyssa genuinely love what they do, and that passion shines through in the meaningful experiences our children have in the Studio!

Fall Fest 2026 What a magical afternoon filled with sunshine, smiles, laughter, and a whole lot of fall fun! From bouncing in bounce houses and decorating pumpkins to train rides, pony rides, face painting, and so much more, our Saint Anne’s community came together for an unforgettable celebration of joy, friendship, and togetherness! A BIG THANK YOU to the many helping hands who made this special day possible! To our incredible volunteers who generously gave their time, our dedicated educators who went above and beyond, and the countless behind-the-scenes helpers who brought every little detail to life—we are so grateful for you! See you next year!

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.
