MISSION STATEMENT
The Parish Day School of the Church of the Redeemer is a nonprofit day school operating within the framework and beliefs of the Parish as it conforms to the Episcopal Church, all of which serve the community at large. The Parish Day School education strives to promote spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, and social growth along with involvement of the child’s family in the life of the school. A unique quality of the Parish Day School lies in its appreciation of individuality; as a community, the Parish Day School endeavors to cherish each child for himself or herself in a warm and nurturing environment.
Adopted by the Parish Day School Board May 17, 1999

DAILY SCHEDULE
The daily schedule provides opportunity for a wide range of activities and experiences – both indoors and outdoors. There is a carefully planned curriculum designed to encourage the child’s intellectual growth, as well as his physical, emotional and social development. Through supervised exploration and experimentation, the child is free to come to know and accept his abilities and limitations as an individual and as a member of a group.
Although the daily schedule is flexible, there are planned blocks of time for work and play, creative activities, discussion, care of equipment, cleaning up, snack time, rest and story time. Activities, both directed and self-directed, are made available in areas of language arts, math, science, art, social studies and music.
STAFF
A director, administrative assistant, classroom teachers and assistants, chaplain, and music, art and gym teachers staff the school. Classroom teachers are all trained in the field of Early Childhood Education and are approved by the Maryland State Department of Education. They are encouraged to continue their professional training. Teacher-pupil ratio is low and classes are kept small.
