Welcome

Welcome to St. Christopher's
Day School

“Where children are taught about caring for others and encouraged to find small ways to be independent each day.”

St. Christopher's Day School has been teaching preschool children for more than 60 years. Our educational philosophy is simple: Preschoolers learn through a play-based curriculum. Young children work hard at play — they invent scenes and stories, solve problems and negotiate their way through social roadblocks.

Because their motivation comes from within, they learn the powerful lesson of pursuing their own ideas to a successful conclusion.

Our Approach

Child-First Curriculum

We believe that every child is unique and will grow at his or her own pace. Our preschool teachers spend time nurturing children's strengths and encouraging them to reach new heights.

Our Environment

9½ Acres of
Natural Beauty

Conveniently located next to Gladwyne Elementary School, St. Christopher's Day School sits on one of the most beautiful Church properties in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania. Here, children are encouraged to explore — collecting leaves, going on nature hunts, sledding down hills, and watching for the first robin of spring.

What Families Are Saying

So Grateful

The Kindergarten Program at St. Christopher's was phenomenal. Their curriculum complemented the public school kindergarten providing children with opportunities to play and explore while they learn. My son bloomed this year in no small part because of the Kindergarten Program.

Nurturing Environment

Our family loved being part of St. Christopher's Day School! We watched our daughter thrive during her two years at the school because of her wonderful teachers. They were creative, kind, and engaging, and created a positive, nurturing environment for all students to learn and grow.

Curriculum is Well Designed

To find St. Christopher's and send her there for the Kindergarten program is one of the best decisions for my daughter! The teachers have demonstrated great commitment to the kids, and the curriculum is well designed, age-appropriate, and challenging yet with great fun.
