Little Saints Preschool

We are so excited to share a beautiful update from our preschool space! ☀️
The addition of ceiling domes has filled our classroom with natural light, creating a warm, peaceful, and inviting environment for our children. Light plays such an important role in early childhood it supports focus, lifts moods, and helps create a calm atmosphere where little ones can learn and grow.
We are intentional about every detail in our space, and this is one more way we are preparing a nurturing, joy filled environment for the children we will serve. We can’t wait to see our students flourish in a classroom that feels this bright and alive!

Training for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd today. This beautiful approach allows us to present the Bible in a sensory, hands-on way that truly engages children. I’m looking forward to bringing this meaningful experience to our preschool and hopefully our Sunday School classroom.

Today I observed at St Vincent de Paul such a beautiful Catechesis of The Good Shepherd program!
I am so thankful for all the different churches that have allowed me to come in and learn.

I had the opportunity to visit St Andrew’s School Fort Worth, and it was an incredible experience. They graciously allowed me to observe and tour their programs, which gave me valuable insight as we continue developing our church’s upcoming preschool.

Well, this is exciting! Please pray that if it is the Lords will everything will go accordingly!

Next Monday, I will have the pleasure of attending Saint Andrew's Montessori School in Fort Worth, where I anticipate learning about integrating effective teaching methods into the classroom.

I attended a conference today at Doxology Bible Church featuring Beth Cannon Speaks, and it was such a meaningful and encouraging experience. I had the joy of meeting several wonderful people, including Lydia Pinero from Fielder Early Childhood Center. Lydia was such an encouragement to me last year when I first began exploring the vision of building a preschool, so it was especially special to finally meet her in person.

I also had the opportunity to personally meet Beth Cannon, who was incredibly down to earth, Spirit filled, and inspiring. She spoke about building a strong team, and shared wisdom that I will carry with me when I begin the hiring process for Little Saints. Beth is the author of Transform Your Team, and I am so looking forward to reading it.

Additionally, I heard from Tanna Horton, who spoke on her book Audience of One. One quote that stood out deeply to me was: “In a world with many audiences, seek the One that truly matters.”

The journey of building a preschool is long, detailed, and at times complex, but God is truly in the details. We are seeing His hand at work even now as our zoning case continues to move forward.

We humbly ask for your prayers for an important next step later this month. On April 29th, we will be meeting with the City of Arlington’s Planning and Zoning Commission to seek approval for the necessary rezoning to make Little Saints a reality.

Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Your Director

As the Director of Little Saints Preschool, I pray you all had a beautiful and blessed Easter. We now step into Eastertide, a season set apart to celebrate what Christ has done for us. Though we live in this truth daily, this time invites us to more intentionally reflect on His resurrection and rejoice in the freedom and new life we have through His amazing gift.
