About St Paul's Christian Day School
St Pauls Christian Day School Brenham
Founded in 1984, St. Paul’s Christian Day School provides a comprehensive educational environment focused on the "whole child." Led by Director Sandra Ehlinger, who brings 29 years of experience, the program integrates biblical values with academic excellence. The school serves children from 6 weeks old through 4th grade, with dedicated spaces like the 'Kindergarten Kingdom' and 'Ocean Treasures' classrooms designed to promote growth through play and structured learning. The facility features unique amenities including the Julie Ann Dahmann Children's Library, where students from toddler age up participate in story time and check out books. A hot lunch program is available daily, and the school maintains a nut-free environment for safety. Families can choose from full-time extended care or part-time options, all supported by a team of certified teachers committed to fostering a close-knit community partnership between home and school.

Safety Record
No major safety incidents or legal issues were found for the Brenham location. In January 2024, the school and affiliated church notified parents and increased police presence as a precaution after receiving a 'mystery letter' that police later determined contained no direct threat to the children or staff. The facility is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (License #196486).
Parent Reputation
The school maintains a positive reputation among parents, frequently cited for its 'whole child' developmental approach and play-based learning. Reviews on platforms like GreatSchools and Niche highlight kind teachers and a supportive, close-knit community atmosphere. Some reviews mention that the school has a very established presence in the community, though one review noted it can feel difficult for newcomers to integrate into the close-knit culture.
Staff Insights
Employee reviews are limited and mixed; some staff members describe it as a 'great place to work with kids' with a friendly environment, while a 2022 review mentioned that management could be unsupportive. Compensation is described as modest, typical for the local childcare sector, and the school uses a mix of full-time and part-time certified teachers with low student-to-teacher ratios.
