She has grown so much socially, emotionally, and academically during her time there.  She loves her teachers and peers, frequently speaking fondly of them and praying for them at bedtime.  She looks forward to going each day and is disappointed on days off. Through her teachers\u2019 care and support, she is beginning to read, write, and has a spark ignited within her for geography and math.  Above all else, her love of Jesus has grown exponentially, with her coming home excited to share songs, prayers, and thoughts about what she has learned about her faith that day.  We are fortunate to have our daughter at Children\u2019s House this year and look forward to our youngest attending it soon, as well!\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/stmarydelaware.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/2023_Epiphany_CH-59-of-97-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Heather\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-testimonial__cite\"><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__name\">Heather<\/span><span class=\"elementor-testimonial__title\">Parent<\/span><\/cite>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-testimonial__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tOur family has been blessed to experience the Children\u2019s House this year in its inaugural year at St. Mary. Aiden is our third child to attend St. Mary for preschool and we have always had a great relationship with the staff and programs offered to our children at St. Mary. To be truthful, my husband and I entered into this year with a lot of questions as to what the Children\u2019s House would offer our son, and how his experience may be different from our other two kids. We enrolled him with a lot of Faith and continued prayer.  Our God answered a lot of prayers with this program! We have watched our son grow in confidence, independence, and academics exponentially since the beginning of the school year. He transitioned from being fearful of the change in routine that comes with going to school to quickly coming to love the teachers and everything the classroom and the school day had to offer. Every day, he comes home all abuzz with what the events of the day were. Whether demonstrating his meticulous pouring skills, showing us how the Priest sets up the altar that he learned\/practiced in their classroom Atrium, or reciting Psalm 29 by heart! Our family has been witness to this incredible program of learning, socialization, and practical life applications rooted in our Catholic Faith. We continue to be amazed and are so excited about what the future holds for our son, the Children\u2019s House, and the rest of St. Mary School!
