Our SCHOOL
St. Margaret's Day School is a Christian learning environment for pre-schoolers, age 2 - 5, and kindergarteners which 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.

Philosophy
Young children are eager to learn. Our school will expose your children
to learning experiences and give them ample opportunity to explore,
to think, to experiment, to create and to 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 caring people. St. Margaret’s Day School provides experiences that help children
become self-reliant, self-motivated, and self-assured. We encourage
children to reach their fullest potential in a safe environment filled
with friends.
Day at St. Margaret’s
Our curriculum reflects each child's own interests and level of development.
We have a strong early childhood curriculum which includes the following
areas: Language Arts, Reading Readiness (phonic based), Mathematics,
Science Centers, PE, Art, Music, Spanish, Chapel, and computers for
children ages 4 - 5 years old. Children 3 years of age receive classes
in Music and Physical Education with some beginning exposure to Spanish.
