St. Anne's Episcopal Day School

Paul's Episcopal Church in Salem, Virginia, serving Salem, Roanoke, and surrounding communities. We offer a Toddler Program for students ages 18 months – 30 months of age. Students in this class will enjoy dramatic play, sensory experiences, puzzles, and storytime. Academic learning will focus on shapes, colors, and Bible stories. Students will have an introduction to letters, numbers, and the wea

ther. Students will be introduced to themes such as families, the community, and holidays. This is a two-day a week program. Anne’s offers a Parent’s Day Out program for students the same age (18 months to 30 months of age) and is on Fridays. Parents may sign their child up for every Friday or may sign up for the Parent's Day Out program on an as-needed basis (dependent on availability). We offer 2, 3, and 5 day programs for children ages 2 1/2 years old to 5 who are toilet trained. Children must turn 2 1/2 years old by September 1st of the school year in which they are enrolling. Our 2 and 3 day classes are developmental preschool programs. We also offer 3 and 5 day pre-kindergarten classes. All of our classes are from 9:00am to 12:00pm (noon), Labor Day to Memorial Day. Our classes are kept small to insure individualized and small group instruction. Classes gradually increase from two day to the pre-kindergarten programs to further help prepare our students for kindergarten. Our curriculum at St. Anne’s is based on developmental learning. We believe that each child is a unique individual and learns at his or her own pace. We are dedicated to the total development of each child; intellectual, spiritual, social, and physical. Our primary objective is for our students to discover that school is a fun place where they are loved and accepted and where they can be successful. If we can excite them about learning, strengthen their self-esteem, and remind them that God and all of us love them, we know we have been successful. As a Christian preschool we are proud to offer a short weekly chapel service and daily classroom prayers. We enjoy the opportunity to include God in our school day, and always respect the diverse religious backgrounds of our students. We are proud to have both a music and physical education teacher on staff. We also have a computer lab and computer teacher. We enjoy many parents, friends and special visitors who share their time and special talents with us.
