Emmanuel Day School

Reviews

  As a military spouse and a mother of three children ages 5, 4, and 1, I understand how useful online reviews can be when researching area schools at our next duty station. I was surprised to see Emmanuel Day School had recently received such a negative review. My 4 year old daughter currently attends pre-school here and I couldn't be happier. Not only is each teacher certified, the director of the school, Carissa Perkowski, has a Master's of Education. She is extraordinarily hands on and spends each day involved with the children's activities and instruction. The other two teachers, Mrs. Kate and Mrs. Terri are highly qualified, professional, kind, caring, and capable. I receive a detailed report daily of my daughter's activities including how she was feeling and how she interacts with the other children, as well as how much of her lunch and snack she eats. The school organizes fun and educational field trips a couple of times a month. The school also holds great night time events that the entire family is welcome to attend. I can't say enough about the daily lessons and instruction my daughter receives. She has completely blossomed when it comes to learning her letters and numbers. The teachers are very creative and make learning fun for the kids. The children have the opportunity to explore the classroom on their own, make fun messes, learn through dramatic play, and cook! And speaking of the classroom, the facilities are outstanding! The school is part of the historic Emmanuel Church built in 1852. The building in beautiful. The children's classroom is HUGE, well organized, and impeccably maintained. I can't say enough wonderful things about this school. Moving to a new area can be quite intimidating when having to choose a school to send your children to. I highly recommend Emmanuel Day School to anyone currently residing or relocating to Newport, RI.
