Children's Chapel - The Easter Story


As I prepared for Children's Chapel this [past] month, I wanted to keep the intention on the love of Jesus while sharing the important story of what Jesus experienced during Holy Week and Easter in way the preschoolers can understand. Some children know the story in great detail and were eager to share. Others are hearing it for the first time. I adapt as we go with each class depending on their age and energy. It was a beautiful day and we moved from the sanctuary to the garden and to the labyrinth. We even made "snow" angels on the labyrinth. The stories in scripture provide and blueprint to explore. As always, throughout children's chapel, the important message is that the children know Jesus loves them. In our good-bye I always remind them Jesus loves them. They are growing in their understanding of this...as one of the children reminded me, "Miss Maureen , I've got it!" It is a blessing to share time each month with your children.

"And the third day he shall rise again."  ~Luke 18:33

Happy Easter and happy spring! What a beautiful time of year. Our students are looking for signs of God's glorious spring everywhere- birds are chirping, flowers are out, buds are on trees, and we are being warmed by the sun. We are celebrating nature's rebirth while we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. Joy, love, and laughter abound here at the preschool.

 

This is such a busy time of year, and we hope that you are able to join us for several special events coming up. We will be meeting with you individually for conferences in mid-April. Soon after that, we will have picture days. We are also preparing for our End of Year Celebration and Auction already! Registration is in full swing with a few spots open in 3s, 4s, and PreK classes. We do hope you'll share information about St. David's with your friends and neighbors.

 

Enjoy your Spring Break and Easter Sunday. We are grateful for each of you and for the opportunity to be a part of your child's life!


Warmly, 

Meg Antwi

Hello Preschool families! I can't believe it's already Spring! We've been having a blast in music class this year. And we just can't stop singing "I'm Gonna Make This an Awesome Day" - you may have even heard it at home :)


This month, we've been learning how to visualize music. We read Eric Carle's I See a Song and made our own art by coloring and listening to different pieces of music. During the rest of the school year, we will be exploring Camille Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals," and making art to reflect the different sounds and stories we hear.

We'll also be learning about the story of Noah and his Ark; and naming (and singing about) all the colors of the rainbow in different languages. If the weather is nice, we might even have a day with the parachute! 


I can't wait to see you all at our Spring Children's Chapel in May so we can share all the amazing things we've been learning!

Things to be Aware of in April


  • It's great to see so many friendships being formed here at St. David's. With the warmer weather we've noticed more and more friends going home with each other for playdates. Please make sure you've officially added another child's parent to your pickup list prior to having them pick up your child from preschool. Stop by the front desk to add a new person. Thank you!


  • Reminder: This month's tuition payment (due by April 1st) is your last payment for this school year. If you are making payments through your bank please make sure you notify your bank to stop payment before May so that you don't end up paying extra.


  • Spring is here... sort of! Please make sure the spare clothes in your child's backpack are appropriate for the warmer weather.


  • We have a few items that have been in our Lost & Found basket for a while now. If your child is missing anything, feel free to stop by the front desk to look in Lost & Found.

  • As always, if your child is going to be absent please let us know by emailing the front desk, or call 703.729.0286. Thank you!
