Currently, we’re accepting children from grades 2 through 6. Church membership is not a requirement. The Nimbus Bell Ringers will learn the basics of ringing standard brass handbells. When we’re ready, we’ll begin to perform for some of the St. Andrew services and will share our music with other local groups. |

Nursery: Infants & toddlers are lovingly cared for in our nursery during Sunday morning worship. Childcare is also offered during some of our other church events.
Sunday School: On Sunday mornings, near the beginning of the worship service, our children are invited to sit on the chancel steps and listen to a special story. After the story they leave for their Sunday School class. We use a curriculum called “One-Room Sunday School” which provides a theme-based lesson each week which can be adapted for both readers and pre-readers. A team of enthusiastic teachers rotate using a 3-week on, 6-week off schedule.
Preschool: During the school year, St. Andrew offers a co-op pre-school.
Nimbus Bell Ringers Rehearsal: Starting on September 29th, children of elementary school age are invited to join our handbell choir. Rehearsals will be each Wednesday from 6:15pm to 7pm.
Summer Music Camp: Each summer St. Andrew Church presents a week-long Summer Music Camp for students entering grades 1—6.
Please call the church office at 831-688-4211 or email kathy@standrew-aptos.org for more information about these program. |

From the Mission Statement and Philosophy
The philosophy of St. Andrew Preschool is that education through play acts as a foundation of a preschooler’s education. Play is important business. Your child will learn many of the most important things that they will ever learn during their pre-school career. Your child will learn about getting along with other children and adults, protecting their rights, being sympathetic to other people’s feelings, and exerting inner control. Your child will experience these important life lessons through play and will learn them best with thoughtful and loving leadership.

Each summer St. Andrew celebrates the combination of kids and music in a week-long Summer Music Camp for children entering grades 1—6. Each morning of the five days, students spend three hours immersed in music activities.
As Children sing and play musical games together they learn about rhythm, pitch and harmonization. Classes include instruction on various instruments including handbells, chime bells and rhythm instruments.
Two noon-time recitals by local musicians introduce students and their families to instruments as varied as bagpipes and cellos!
On the Sunday following Summer Music Camp week, children present a church service concert for their families and friends. Afterwards, all are invited to a reception in Hubler Hall.
Our 2010 Music Camp was a resounding success!
Come and join the fun next year ! |
