Emmanuel Day School Parent Comments

See what parents have to say about the Emmanuel Day School:

"We are a military family that chose Emmanuel Day School before arriving in Newport based on a friend's recommendation and the school's impressive web site. Of the three great preschools we have experienced with our children, none has sparkled so brightly with the magic of childhood as EDS. We are thrilled that our 4-year-old has the chance to experience such a warm, exciting environment. This is a school that truly inspires both children and adults with the joys of learning and exploring our big world. We were fortunate enough to arrive in Newport in the summer, and our 8, 6, and 4-year-old all participated in one of the summer camps, which was a big hit with them and us. We will strongly recommend this preschool to fellow military families bound for Newport!"

“The Emmanuel Day School is, no doubt, the most well-rounded program I've ever come across! Nurturing, knowledgeable staff, an academic program that is rich in content while being outright fun, and an atmosphere full of character, beauty, and history! My son is so engaged, relaxed and happy he doesn't even realize how much he is learning.”

"All I can say is we were WOWed by the pictures from the Easter play [Easter Preparations at EDS: March 20, 2008]. It was great to be able to share them with our families too. They were all very impressed with the play. [My son] was really impressed by his role as Jesus as well, and told us all about the events leading up to Easter. This is something I think he'll always remember, I know we will.

Thanks so much for letting him participate."

“I look forward to picking up my daughter every school day in order to see what she has learned and experienced at the Emmanuel Day School. As an engineer, I love to see a fully stocked science room - complete with beakers and test tubes. As someone who has a passion for travel, I am thrilled to see my daughter with her very own passport with which to record her “visits” to so many different countries. As an avid reader, I am amazed to see her talking about story webs and sequencing and already writing her letters after just two months at the school. What other preschool program would send a three year old home talking about the Colosseum in Rome, haikus, equinoxes and her latest yoga moves all in the same day!

Most importantly, as a parent of a child who is so young and just starting out on her educational adventure, the thing I value the most is how loved and nurtured she is by the entire remarkable staff at the Emmanuel Day School and how much FUN she is having along the way!”

"I cannot say enough about the wonderful experience my son has had at the Emmanuel Day School. The teachers are professional and caring, the curriculum is varied and creative, and the opportunity for exposure to French, violin lessons, yoga and photography at the preschool level is unmatched at any other school that I have encountered.

Most importantly, my son loves coming to school each day in an environment where he feels challenged to do his best work, and feels nurtured by the caring adults who are his teachers. I have also been so impressed with the ongoing attention that is paid to character development and values which are incorporated throughout the curriculum.

I have no doubt that my son will be well prepared in every way to attend kindergarten next year."

"I can't say enough about Emmanuel. Our experience so far has been nothing but positive. The simple fact that these teachers say "I love you" as my daughter is leaving school says enough! Thank you for all of your hard work and energy."
