Saint Anne's Day School & Enrichment Programs

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.
