ANANSI’S HISTORY

Three early childhood educators committed to establishing a quality Early Childhood Development Center in Taos County founded Anansi Day School in 1993. The school opened with an enrollment of 45 children with grades Preschool – First Grade. Due to community demand, the school expanded to second grade in 1997.

The Board of Directors of Anansi Day School voted to pursue the option of closing its doors as a private institution to become a public charter school at its annual meeting in August, 2000, and opened its doors as a free and public charter school in August, 2001. While keeping all of the unique aspects of Anansi Day School intact, Anansi Charter School offers teaching excellence as a publicly funded, non-discriminatory, lottery-fed school. The Charter includes Kindergarten through Second Grade, and the pre-school remains Anansi Day School with a non-profit status.

 

Anansi Charter School Does Not Discriminate on the Basis of Race, Creed, Color, Gender, National Origin or Physcal Handicap.
