Church School All Saints' Church School utilizes the Godly Play program and the Episcopal Children's Curriculum (ECC) in its classrooms. Godly Play is a blend of the oral tradition of the Judeo-Christian heritage and the quiet, reflective, uncluttered approach of Montessori education. Currently, the Kind-2nd grade class is using this program and the 3rd-5th grade is using Godly Play and some ECC. ECC has units on church history, the Book of Common Prayer, etc. not found in Godly Play.


Children's chapel service

There is a chapel service for Kindergarten-5th grade at 10:30am. This service utilizes stories, music, seasonal lessons enabling worship and learning in an age appropriate manner. All children join their families in worship for the Eucharist. In addition, there is an all-age service every five to six weeks planned as the main liturgy for that day.

In addition, childcare is available in the nursery for infants and toddlers beginning at 9:30am through the end of the 10:30 service.
