Welcome to the Emmanuel Day School
Instilling a lifelong love of learning….Building a foundation for life
The Emmanuel Day School offers a fun, loving and nurturing environment with enriching opportunities for pre-school children to discover and explore. By building on what children already know and encouraging them to investigate new experiences and interests our students gain independence and self confidence. This growing ability enables them to achieve developmentally appropriate readiness skills.
We respect each child’s individuality and offer many different approaches to learning within our day. Play is a valued component through which children explore their world, problem solve, feel competent to try new ideas, test their skills and learn cooperation.
Our teachers actively foster a sense of community where every child feels as if he or she belongs. Children learn that it is important to respect others and to work together as a team. We value our student’s thoughts, ideas and feelings.
If you are interested in enrolling your pre-school child in the Emmanuel Day School we invite you to come and experience our fabulous learning environment. Please call our director, Ann McAree at 847-7444 to schedule a visit.
The Emmanuel Day School meets the Rhode Island Department of Education’s Early Learning Standards. The School is non-denominational.
Our Day:
The Emmanuel Day School offers a full school day program for its students. We open our doors at 8am each day. Arrival time is anywhere within the first hour. This time provides a window of opportunity for children to ease into their day. Parents are invited to stay and spend time with their child by enjoying such opportunities together as reading a book, working on a puzzle, exploring a center, or simply helping your child feel more comfortable before separating for the day.
It is also a wonderful time to speak with staff members.
Our day begins with time shared together as a whole group. In this multiage grouping older children have more opportunities to nurture and model skills for younger children. Nurtured and encouraged by older peer models, they participate in more complex activities and develop at their own pace knowing that there are a variety of developmental expectations. These shared experiences nurture creative thinking and problem solving skills, vocabulary, and social competencies for all age groups.
