Philosophy
The goal of St. Paul’s Day School is to provide an enriching experience for preschool and kindergarten children. We strive to enhance your child’s emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual and physical growth in a Christian setting of nurturing and love. We encourage individual growth through a variety of developmentally appropriate experiences.
Mission
Our mission is to be responsive to the needs of the children and their parents and provide a safe and nurturing environment that empowers students to develop as confident and caring children.
To Support Our Mission
Our curriculum is based on developmentally appropriate practices, goals and objectives of preschool and kindergarten children. These activities include music, art, physical play, dramatic play, early science, pre–math and reading skills, and craft projects. Individual progress is stressed as well as learning to cooperate and share in a peer group situation. Parents are eagerly welcomed into the classroom and are encouraged to help with a project, share an area of interest/expertise, read a story, or just observe the routine of classroom activities.
History

The school’s nursery and kindergarten programs serve children ranging in age from two-and-a-half through six years of age. Children of all religious faiths are welcome and celebrated. The school is licensed by the state of New Jersey and is an active member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools.
