Music    Music with
Miss Adell 
December music classes were filled with lots of Christmas cheer!  We warmed up our bodies with Snow Yoga, went skiing and even drove Santa's sleigh!  Jingle Bells, Rudolph and Reindeer Hokey-Pokey got us in the holiday spirit!  Ask your preschooler how Miss Adell sings "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" with many different motions . Thanks to all the families who attended our Preschool Sing-Along and I can't wait to make more music with your children in 2017!
Happy New Year!
Welcome to the New Year St. David's Families!

Winter is upon us!  Pease make sure you send hats and gloves with your children to school.  If the temperature is at least 32 degrees, the classes do go outside!

Finally, please be sure you are familiar with our Inclement Weather Policy.  We follow the Loudoun County Public School's decisions on closings and late start times. We will have a note on the church website, Facebook and on our voice mail regarding any changes from our normal schedule. 
News from the Directors

Greetings from Ann-Marie and Julie!

Welcome to 2017!  As we begin this new year, we do it with a commitment to make every day the "best day"! We are committed to a quality education for every child! We are committed to start each day with a smile!

With January comes registration time for the next school year. Please take the time to look at the dates below carefully.  In addition, look carefully at the offerings for fall, as we have added some new options. If you will be heading on to Kindergarten, consider K-WILD!  K-WILD is a perfect complement to your child's Kindergarten class.  This is an opportunity for your child to  continue to work on critical thinking, problem solving and life long learning skills! If you have any questions at all, please stop by and chat with us.


Blessings,
Julie and Ann-Marie
