Spiritual Growth

Holy Trinity Day School has been an important ministry of the church since 1954. As such, one of Holy Trinity Day School’s objectives is to help each child understand and appreciate God’s love. 

Children already know something about the presence and mystery of God, even before they have the language to express it. Our School Chaplain, Holy Trinity’s Director of Christian Formation, and our Godly Play instructor work together to expose children to the miracle of God’s love through stories, music, and movement.


Godly Play

Godly Play provides an environment that fosters discovery learning and engagement with scripture. Children hear, experience, and explore sacred stories from the Hebrew Scriptures through the New Testament. Godly Play is structured to nourish and guide each child’s spiritual quest.


Weekly Chapel

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church leads the children in weekly chapel service. Once a week the children in the Threes, Pre-K, and Junior K classes gather as a community to worship, pray, and sing together in our Children’s Chapel.

Summer Camps

At Holy Trinity Day School, we are passionate about nurturing the whole child-  cognitively, physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually, using a wide variety of techniques, activities, and each child’s own interests.  One of the means we use to further these goals is through our summer camp experiences.


This summer we will host five camp sessions.  Each camp session lasts either 3 or 4 days, depending on the age of your child, and is structured around a different theme. Through an age-appropriate, 

play-based curriculum, students will explore, create, and connect with the theme through meaningful, 

hands-on activities geared toward preschoolers’ natural curiosity and investigative natures. 


Register for our 2024 Summer Camps here.


THEMES:


Camp 1: May 28- 30 Helping Hands: Helping Hands is a camp with a focus on kindness and helping 

others through service.  Young children love to help, participate, and serve. 

Campers will raise awareness and funds for the Kellin Foundation, a local non-profit that helps to strengthen resilience among children, families, adults, and communities impacted by trauma. Campers will host a lemonade stand on campus (how fun is that!) with all proceeds going to the Kellin Foundation to assist in its efforts to provide free services that help break the cycles of trauma among children, adults, and families (www.kellinfoundation.org). Throughout the week, campers will be active 

participants in making our community a better place through their own “helping hands.”  


Camp 2: June 3- 6 Sizzling Science: Preschoolers’ love of investigation, questioning, and getting messy make them naturals in the field of science.  Campers will explore several topics through fun activities that are geared towards their curious, active minds.  It is sure to be a week full of scientific discovery.


Camp 3: June 10-13 Stars and Stripes Forever: Hip, Hip, Hooray for the USA!  Campers will have a grand time celebrating our beautiful flag and slices of Americana through stories, crafts, songs, and games.


Camp 4- July 15- 18  Crazy Creations: Preschoolers love to imagine and create.  This camp will focus on creating, constructing, and building using a variety of items and some basic principles of engineering. Young artists and builders will have a blast as they explore and experiment with materials such as legos, floam, beads, wood, paint and more.  Let the creations begin. 


Camp 5: July 22- 25 Shark Mania: Campers will learn about all about sharks and the ocean in a fun, 

interactive way through crafts, games, and songs.

Give

Happy Hearts Fund

In 2012, the Day School board initiated the Happy Hearts Fund to help to ensure that Holy Trinity Day School continues to provide exceptional preschool education to its students. 

As is the case with most independent schools, tuition alone does not cover the cost of running a top-notch program. The Happy Hearts Fund helps provide some of the extras that tuition does not cover. Since 2012, the Happy Hearts Fund has raised more than $100,000, which has been used for teacher raises and bonuses, classroom furniture and materials, playground toys and new equipment, and 

building a reserve fund.  


Scholarships

Holy Trinity Day School’s Scholarship Fund provides partial tuition assistance to students in need. These need-based scholarships help ensure that the school ministers to all children, regardless of economic background.
