Storytime at Stanley Clark

2026-27 Storytime Dates:

Wednesday, October 21, 9:00 AM

Wednesday, December 2, 9:00 AM

Wednesday, February 3, 9:00 AM

Join us for our Storytime at Stanley Clark series for children ages 5 and younger who are not yet enrolled at SCS and their parents! Both younger siblings of current students and families from the local community are invited to attend.

Storytime at Stanley Clark highlights the "hundred languages" that are central to our Reggio Emilia-inspired philosophy. Join us in the Decio Media Center, where your child will engage with stories, song, movement, art, and play - a sampling of the hundred languages our educators intentionally aim to tap into throughout our classrooms each and every day.

Prospective families are invited to stay for an optional school tour immediately following Storytime, starting in our early childhood division. Space is limited, so registration for each date is required.

    “As an alumna, I understand the incredible gift of an SCS education. Our wonderful faculty honor childhood, respect the work of children, and in doing so, consider the whole child in every aspect of their education. They appreciate the need for movement and fresh air and spend time outdoors exploring our beautiful campus. They know that art and music are as important as academics in nurturing well-rounded children that will grow up to be creative thinkers. Most importantly, we trust and see that our girls are as loved each day at school as they are at home.” 
    ~Laura Pflum, Current Parent
