St. Andrew's PreSchool

St. Andrews PresSchool (SAPS) is a non-profit sponsored preschool which operates as a ministry of St. Andrew's By-the-Sea Episcopal Church. The school school is administered under the supervision of a PreSchool Director and Board.

The goal of the preschool is to provide a loving, encouraging Christian environment which will foster learning experiences from group participation to individual creativity to the development of new skills, while guiding the child to obtain greater independence, social competence and self fulfillment.

The preschool consists of a Parent’s Morning Out (PMO) program for toddlers, one Three Year Old class consisting of no more than 14 children with one teacher and assistant, and two Four Year Old classes of 14 children each with one teacher and one assistant per class. Enrollment is prioritized by first, returning students; second St. Andrew's By-the-Sea member’s children who apply by March 1^st; and third, on a first-come first-served basis.

SAPS Educational Philosophy

St. Andrew's PreSchool Educational Philosophy is based on a developmental program. We believe young children learn best in a happy relaxed atmosphere. They learn to express themselves creatively through play activities and interaction with others. Appropriate learning activities will be planned according to the developmental needs and abilities of the child with the tools necessary to begin a succesful and happy formal education that begins in Kindergarten.

Through FREE PLAY a child learns to share, cooperate, wait for a turn, listen and follow directions.

Through GROUP LEARNING language development is stimulated as well as creativity and independence. INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PLAY helps large muscle development and coordination.
