a place of wonder
and exploration

image: scarecrow 140x180 Developmentally oriented, nestled among beautiful gardens, and staffed with talented and imaginative teachers, A Child’s Garden School is a place of wonder and exploration for every child.

our philosophy

The Garden School is a wonderful place to enhance the growth and development of your child. Children are encouraged to learn and explore in a loving environment. Our program is designed to nurture the cognitive, social-emotional and motor development of your child. We support the development of peer-to-peer relationships that nourish your child’s self-concept.

A Child’s Garden School sits on the campus of Church of Our Saviour and is an outreach of the church’s ministries. It is a five-day accredited preschool offering a rich environment where each child can grow and develop at his or her own pace. The school is certified by the National Association of Episcopal Schools.

our program

Children are placed in small classes where the excellent teacher-child ratio allows individual attention and opportunity for small and large group play. The beautiful Church of Our Saviour campus and the school’s three play yards provide a variety of child-oriented spaces for running, climbing, sand and water play, and the mastering of wheel toys. Inside the school, group meetings, music, stories, and snack time are part of the daily routine. Manipulatives, pretend play, creative art, texture play, puzzles and language experiences are offered in an open-ended manner in each room. All of our classes are designed to foster the children's individual learning. We reach out and encourage children to find their own learning style through the developmental process. Age-appropriate curriculum is planned to help children build concepts and ready them for the academic world.

Child-oriented, nondenominational chapel services are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:30-10:00 a.m. in Grace Chapel.

The school is open to children between the ages of 2 to 5 years (pre-K). The school welcomes children without regard to race, religion, national origin or ethnicity.
