Dear Prospective Family
Welcome to The DaySchool for Children—where education is more than academics; it’s a calling rooted in God and family. Our school was founded on the belief that when children are nurtured in truth, excellence, and faith, they thrive—not only in the classroom but in life. As Delaware’s only private Christian school with a competency-based model, we don’t limit students by age or grade. We meet them where they are, cultivate their God-given gifts, and prepare them for a life of purpose, passion, and Spirit-led leadership.
The DaySchool is not just a school—it’s a generational legacy. What began with a vision anchored in family and faith has grown into a thriving, close-knit community where our family continues to serve yours. For nearly 20 years, our commitment to holistic education has produced top-performing students who go on to succeed at premier schools and universities, while keeping God at the center of everything they do. It would be an honor to welcome your family into this legacy of excellence. My husband and I welcome you to the DaySchool Family.
Warmly,
Mrs. Genesis Dorsey Sims
Admissions Director
Your Spirit-Led Journey Starts Here
Choosing the right school is a significant decision—and we’re honored you’re considering The DaySchool for Children. Our admissions process is designed to be thoughtful, personal, and clear. Whether you’re applying for our Toddler School or Elementary program, we walk alongside you every step of the way.
We accept applications on a rolling basis until seats are filled, after which we begin building our waitlist for both the current and upcoming school years. We encourage early engagement, as spaces are limited due to our intentionally small class sizes.
Our Admissions Process
1. Schedule a Tour
Begin by experiencing our campus firsthand. Tours are offered throughout the week and give families a chance to see our classrooms, meet our staff, and get a feel for our learning environment.
2. Submit Your Application
Following your tour, you’ll receive a link to our digital application form. Please complete the form in full and submit the non-refundable $80 application fee.

4. Admissions Decision
Following your interview, the Admissions Office will notify you of your admissions status. Offers are extended based on the strength of the application, interview, and current seat availability.
