News from

the Director

"The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you." – B.B. King

As we complete the 2023-2024 school year, I reflect on all we have been blessed with- beautiful children, supportive families, energetic and creative teachers, and a gorgeous school campus. What a wonderful year it has been! Our students have grown in so many ways and have shared their joyful journey with us. I pray that they can take what they have learned and continue to play, explore, invent, and THINK. Thank you for allowing us to spend this precious time working with your children!

 

I hope that you all enjoy your summer and make beautiful memories. 


Best,

Meg Antwi

Children's Chapel


What a wonderful year it has been sharing the stories and love of Jesus with your children. The overall theme has been that Jesus loves them and God is everywhere. We explored this in many ways, with a bible story, scripture theme and relatable story book . We even explored God's creation and love outdoors. Children's Chapel for May is our family chapel. Miss Ginny and I look forward to seeing you then as we share God's love through the story of Noah's Ark and the Rainbow of Promise.

 

To close out the year, the children will receive a "Bible in a Bucket" to take home that day . In this bucket will be a few summertime activities reminding the children that God is everywhere, even when they aren't at church. There will be a "Flat Jesus" for them to color and take with them wherever they go and share pictures with us this summer. I can't wait to see the adventures Jesus takes with you this summer.

Things to remember in May


  • Reminder: if you have been paying tuition by bank check please make sure you have notified your bank to STOP PAYMENT before so that they do not continue to mail tuition paychecks to the preschool.


  • 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!


  • Kids are outside a lot during the month of May. It is a good idea to always check for ticks at the end of the day. You may want to consider putting on bug spray and sunscreen before school.


  • 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!
