ABOUT CHRIST CHURCH DAY SCHOOL

​

Christ Church Day School is a non-profit preschool located on Maryland’s beautiful Eastern Shore in downtown Easton. Established in 1957, it is a thriving community of children, parents and teachers. With an approximate enrollment of 30 children, we offer a developmentally-appropriate, Montessori-inspired preschool education to children ages two through five.

 

Our Vision

Our vision is to create an educational environment where learning is an adventure, confidence grows, and leaders emerge--within a community where teachers, students and parents are active partners.

 

Our Mission

Our mission is a commitment to nurturing a love for learning that students embrace for a lifetime. We strive to develop a progressive curriculum that celebrates creativity, encourages curiosity, and values spiritual growth. We seek to cultivate an appreciation of the wonders around us by exploring our unique community on the Eastern Shore and the larger world that we call home.

 

Our Philosophy

Christ Church Day School is committed to nurturing a love of learning while providing a rich and challenging curriculum. We believe that teachers and students should be engaged actively, creatively and thoughtfully in the classroom, in our natural world, and in our community at large. Christ Church Day School blends experiential learning with research-based practices. Teachers aim to harness children's natural curiosity and stimulate their moral compass while engaging them in developmentally appropriate, joyful, and meaningful learning. Beginning with the belief that children are inherently good and infinitely capable, the school is designed to support and enrich the unique aspects of each child.
