Little Saints

The St. Paul’s Little Saints Two and Three Year-Old programs bring together parents, children, and teachers as one, working to create a community of learners. Our supportive and nurturing environment encourages open conversation, verbal and non-verbal communication, positive and respectful relationships, and innovative learning and teaching.

Our goal is to foster a true love of learning through words, movement, dramatic play, building, drawing, painting, and discovery. Our teachers provide children with rich, meaningful experiences by integrating a wealth of materials into the curriculum and environment. Children are taught to celebrate their differences and value their unique abilities.

Curriculum

The Core Knowledge Sequence is woven within our curriculum. This sequence is a set of model guidelines describing fundamental competencies and specific knowledge that can provide a solid, coherent foundation for later learning. Along with this sequence, the Reggio Emilia approach and education for sustainability influence our curriculum.

Communication

The Little Saints teachers and staff strive to incorporate parents into all aspects of our program. This is accomplished primarily through communication. Our team of teachers has therefore developed a variety of tools designed to provide open and ongoing communication with families throughout the school year.

Journals are posted daily for families which include pictures of the children as well as explanations of the children’s experiences. 

Weekly newsletters are provided for families which describe the children’s activities and remind families of upcoming events. 

Each child has a Memory Book that documents the process of learning through his or her work during Studio experiences. 

Parent teacher conferences are held twice a year during which families and teachers engage in open conversation. Parents receive both written and verbal feedback on their child’s development and progress. 

Documentation Panels are posted in the classrooms which communicate to families the process of learning that has occurred during an investigation. Panels include children’s work, children’s words, explanations of activities and experiences, and pictures of the process.

Our Parent Boards and Parent Mailboxes provide families with information about special events as well as class announcements and reminders. Parents also receive class “mail” from both their children and the teachers.
