Our School  St. Margaret's Day School is a Christian learning environment for pre-schoolers, ages 2 - 5, and Kindergarteners that offers a developmentally appropriate, child-centered curriculum. We offer small classes led by degreed teachers where children can learn about themselves and the world around them. In addition to half day and full day class options, we offer before and after school care. Our campus is part of an Episcopal Parish over 300 years old on the Broadneck Peninsula in Annapolis, Maryland. For more information, please call 410-757-2333 or email the dayschool office. We are a nut free campus.

 

Philosophy  We offer a comprehensive program dedicated to the personal growth of each child through a curriculum of creative play and developmentally appropriate activities. Here children explore the wide variety of activities and materials available to them. We teach them to learn about sharing and the feelings of others; how to get along with their peers and how to follow directions. Your children will thrive in the hands of our loving and experienced staff. Our goal is for the students to feel good about who they are and excited about who they can be. 

Mission  St. Margaret's Day School provides children with an opportunity to learn about themselves and the world around them. The school exposes children to learning experiences and gives them ample opportunity to explore, experiment, create and feel successful. A young child needs to have the opportunity to grow in relationships with other children of similar ages socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually and spiritually.  These goals are best achieved in a warm, open learning environment, facilitated by professional, caring adults. Each child is unique and develops at his/her own individual rate. Therefore, the curricululm must reflect each child's own needs, interests and level of development. 

Curriculum  Our curriculum includes a full program of emergent math and early literacy activities that are consistent with the most current philosophies of early childhood education. We also emphasize science, music, movement, art, drama, cooking, and social skills appropriate to the age level of the chilrdren so they can experience the excitement of learning and about the world around them. In addition, each age/grade level includes special thematic units with developmentally appropriate goals and objectives. Our program includes Chapel, Jumpbunch, music and Spanish. We attend field trips in and out of the classroom to enhance our thematic units. Our MSDE educationally approved Kindergarten uses the McGraw-Hill Reading publisher enhanced with sight words, journaling and creative writing. The Kindergarten  Science, Social Studies and Math curriculums are from Harcourt Brace. Our MSDE educationally approved Pre-Kindergarten programs use the "Letter People" from the Abrams Co. as well as the "Handwriting without Tears" curriculum.
