At St. Michael’s Parish Day School, children are loved and valued. In our warm and creative environment, your child will grow spiritually in our regular chapel services designed for children, and creatively in the classroom, in our garden and on the playground, and through special events. He will learn to cooperate, solve problems, create, listen, and to respect others and respect differences. St. Michael’s promotes the growth of the total individual by helping each child develop socially, cognitively, physically, and emotionally. Our child-centered program includes both teacher-directed and self-selected activities, quiet and active experiences, and the recognition that learning occurs in both formal and informal ways. Because young children learn best through active participation, teachers provide every child with many “hands-on” activities. The staff at St. Michael’s works as a team to meet children’s needs, with support from the church and its members, the St. Michael’s Parish Day School Committee, parents, and the community.
