 The
Episcopal Day School at the Church of the Good Samaritan in Paoli,
PA serves approximately 300 preschool and kindergarten children and
50 toddlers and parents in classes ranging between ten and twenty
students. Morning classes run from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. Afternoon
sessions are from 12:30 pm to 3:00 pm. The twenty teachers
are certified early childhood educators, many with advanced degrees.
Each class has an assistant. Every year the staff participates in training workshops. Recent sessions
focused on topics such as first aid and CPR, early literacy, mathematics
concepts for young children, language development, differences in
the play of boys and girls, problem solving with young children, and
handling separation issues. The school is licensed as a Private Academic
School by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Children in the Day School participate in a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Experiences are planned to foster cognitive, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual growth. Thematic units at each age level encourage children to experiment with art, science, social studies, literacy, music, and movement activities. Every session includes indoor and outdoor play, snack and circle time. Children have opportunities to develop specific skills in library, movement and music programs. All children enrolled in the school participate in weekly chapel services led by the clergy staff of the Church of the Good Samaritan. Parent participation is encouraged and welcomed at the Day School.
From the Parent/Toddler Program through kindergarten, mothers and
fathers are involved in the daily activities of the classes. Parents
serve as monitors in the school, assist with parties, help with
classroom activities, accompany classes on field trips, and serve
on the Day School Board. Parents also lead special events including
three annual fundraisers: The Book Fair in October, The Craft Fair
in November, and the Fashion Show and Silent Auction in early spring.
NEW FUNDRAISER! Lunch, extended day and mini camp programs provide opportunities for children to spend time with friends beyond the regular school day. More detailed information is available by contacting:
