Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

Classrooms across the Day School spent the week learning about and celebrating the life and lasting impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Conversations and explorations reflected on community, peace, individuality, and what it means to lead with kindness. We saw them make connections, share ideas, and begin to understand how their own words and actions can change the world. Reminder: No school Monday, January 19, in honor of MLK Day.

Meet the Educators of the Sunriver Room ☀️🏞️ Ms. Chalmers brings experience and a deep love for early childhood development to the Sunriver Room. With a thoughtful and reflective approach, she truly listens to children and values their ideas, helping them feel seen and respected. Her passion for learning shines as she collaborates with children to turn their curiosities into meaningful provocations and explorations that grow from their interests and ideas. Ms. Sarabia offers a warm, intentional presence shaped by her extensive experience supporting children’s social-emotional development. She honors children’s perspectives and builds strong relationships rooted in trust and empathy. Through collaboration and careful observation, she helps bring children’s questions and passions to life through engaging provocations, shared inquiry, and long-term projects. Together, Ms. Chalmers and Ms. Sarabia create a collaborative, child-centered environment where children’s voices guide the learning. By listening deeply, valuing multiple perspectives, and working side by side with one another and the children, they bring interests to life through rich explorations and meaningful projects. The Sunriver Room is a place where curiosity is honored, ideas are celebrated, and children are empowered as capable learners every day.

New year, familiar smiles, and so much to look forward to! We’re so happy to welcome our children back to school. Happy 2026!

DAYS OF GIVING Tuition alone does not fully support the exceptional education offered at Saint Anne’s Day School. Like all church-based preschool programs, we rely on a partnership between tuition and charitable giving to sustain and strengthen our mission. In fact, the difference between a good school and a truly great one is often the depth of its philanthropic support. At Saint Anne’s, generous donors make it possible to provide a whole-child education, invest in ongoing professional development for our dedicated educators, and offer need-based tuition assistance. Please consider making a contribution to the Annual Fund at the link in our bio.

Meet the Educators of the Nesting Room Threes! 🪺 Ms. Yeme is deeply in tune with every child in her class, seeing and understanding them as unique individuals. She can often be found sitting beside them, notebook in hand, capturing quotes and meaningful moments from their conversations. She weaves children’s interests into the activities she curates and the investigations they explore, creating learning that feels personal and alive. With a strong commitment to advocacy, she empowers children to grow into thoughtful, community-minded individuals. Ms. Sarah blends her Studio Art background with child development expertise to design thoughtful provocations that merge visual arts with developmentally appropriate skills. She sees each child exactly where they are and thoughtfully adapts the environment to ensure meaningful access for everyone. She is also known for leading year-long, identity-rooted studies that help children understand themselves and their place within their classroom community. Thank you, Ms. Yeme and Ms. Sarah, for inspiring wonder, nurturing curiosity, and lifting children up every day.

Storytime with Santa was pure magic! ✨ Festive pajamas, cozy books, and sweet treats brought out the children’s holiday joy & cheer. It was a beautiful way to kick off this season of wonder!
