About
The Playschool at St. Mary’s, also known as St. Mary’s Creative Playschool, is an Anchorage, Alaska preschool serving children ages 3 to 5 through a play-based, creative, and innovative curriculum. Established as Anchorage’s first preschool, it emphasizes the role of play in early learning and helps children build self-confidence, a positive self-image, and social, fine, and gross motor skills. Classrooms balance self-directed exploration with guided, more structured activities, with teachers and parents serving as supportive guides who follow children’s interests. The school welcomes and engages families of all faith traditions, races, and national origins. Offerings include a Toddler Playspace for caregivers and toddlers, in-person tours during school hours, and a virtual tour. Families can access information on classes and tuition, the school calendar, a parent handbook, a Lunch Bunch option, enrollment and application details, scholarships, and online payments.
