Library
The WWDS Library has over 50 categories of books including: All About Me, Colors, Community Helpers, Family, Multicultural, Senses, and Space. There are age-appropriate books for all of our students, as well as board books for our youngest learners. A special feature of our library are the book baskets. Book baskets offer the teachers and students the ability to bring the story to life using objects to represent the characters or story line of the book.
Ancillaries
Chapel is a weekly class for all of our students to connect to their spiritual self using age-appropriate stories, lessons, songs, and prayer. Chapel enriches children’s understanding of Jesus’ love, sharing, giving thanks, family love, and God’s world. Once a month, the Day School classes also participate in Children’s Chapel in the sanctuary; parents are invited to attend these services.
Motor is a weekly class for Dayschool and Pre-K that concentrates on the development of gross motor skills. The children participate in exercises, and fun activities geared toward strength, hand-eye-coordination, balance, and confidence in their body.
Music is a weekly class for all of our students designed to expose children to multiple genres, beginning musical concepts and a wide range of sounds. Movement activities encourage gross motor development while teaching tempo and rhythm recognition. Listening activities help develop critical and creative thinking skills. This class offers our students a social, interactive environment where they can foster their lifelong love of music.
Spanish is a weekly class for Dayschool and Pre-K. Everyday vocabulary, books, and songs are used to introduce the language and customs of Latin American countries.
