Little Explorers, Big Discoveries

 

 

On October 16, 2026, the KGA and KGB students of DCS Tanah Mas went on an exciting field trip to the UIN Walisongo Planetarium! The children arrived at school full of excitement, while their parents shared in the excitement as they prepared their little ones for this special adventure. Although the parents did not join the trip, they were happy to see their children ready to explore and learn new things. After gathering at school, the children set off together by bus, eager to discover the wonders of space!

 

 

At the planetarium, the children went to the rooftop area to observe the Sun through a telescope. Although the weather was hot, the children stayed enthusiastic and enjoyed every activity. They were excited to see the Sun and learn more about space through this special experience. After that, they enjoyed an exciting planetarium show, where they discovered more about the universe, planets, and stars.

 

 

The fun continued with an exciting quiz! The children who answered the questions correctly received special prizes. It was a fun way to learn new things and share what they had discovered. Through this experience, the children gained new knowledge, broadened their horizons, and learned many interesting things about space. It was a meaningful and enjoyable experience that made learning even more exciting! After all the exciting activities, the children enjoyed lunch together, provided by the school.

 

 

It was truly a wonderful day filled with fun, learning, and new discoveries! This field trip was more than just a visit to the planetarium. It gave our little explorers the opportunity to learn beyond the classroom, explore the wonders of the universe, and discover new things through exciting activities. Every experience helped spark their curiosity, broaden their knowledge, and encourage them to ask questions about the world around them.

 

 

At DCS Preschool, we believe that meaningful learning happens not only through books and classroom activities but also through real-life experiences. When children explore new places, see things with their own eyes, and learn through hands-on activities, they build lasting memories and develop a greater love for learning. Moments like these remind us that even the smallest discoveries can inspire big dreams and open the door to endless possibilities.

 

 

Because every little discovery today can inspire a brighter tomorrow. Keep exploring, keep learning, and keep shining, little stars! ✨

On September 19, 2026, KB-TK Kristen DCS Tanah Mas welcomed children aged 1.5–4 years old from outside DCS for a joyful and engaging Open House with the theme “Junior Animal Rescuers.”

Designed as a trial class experience, the event gave children the opportunity to experience how learning at DCS can be meaningful, joyful, and hands-on. Throughout the morning, children explored different learning experiences that encouraged them to learn, play, create, move, and interact with the world around them.

Bringing Bible Stories to Life

The day began with Time for Jesus, where the children were introduced to the Bible character Noah. To make the story more engaging and memorable, one of our male teachers dressed up as Noah, wearing a robe with long hair and a beard. His appearance and storytelling helped bring the Bible story to life and captured the children’s attention.

Through this experience, children were introduced to Noah’s story and encouraged to learn about obedience to God in a way that was appropriate and enjoyable for their age.

Becoming Little Animal Rescuers

The adventure continued through our DCS Learning Project (DLP), where the children explored the world of animals through hands-on activities.

The children took part in an exciting animal rescue role-play. They became little rescuers who helped the animals pass through different obstacles before safely returning them to the “forest.” They also expressed their creativity by painting an animal-themed canvas and experienced the joy of caring for a real rabbit by feeding it.

These activities were more than just fun. Through movement, role-play, sensory experiences, art, communication, and interaction, the children were given opportunities to develop different aspects of their growth and development while learning about animals and caring for living things.

Little Chefs in Action

No Open House would be complete without a little cooking fun!

During the Cooking Class, the children made a delicious and healthy banana cake and banana-strawberry smoothie. They were excited to take part in the preparation process and discover how simple ingredients could be turned into something they could enjoy together.

The activity encouraged children to explore food, follow simple steps, use their senses, and build confidence through hands-on participation. And, of course, tasting their own creations was one of the highlights of the morning!

A Joyful Day of Learning and Growing

The Junior Animal Rescuers Open House was filled with smiles, curiosity, and joyful moments. Children explored new experiences, parents enjoyed seeing their little ones actively involved in the activities, and our teachers were delighted to guide the children throughout their learning journey.

At DCS, we believe that young children learn best when they are given opportunities to experience, explore, and enjoy the learning process. Through meaningful activities and a supportive environment, children are encouraged to grow in confidence, creativity, independence, and care for others and the world around them.

The Junior Animal Rescuers Open House was a wonderful reflection of this approach—a morning where learning became an adventure and every child had the opportunity to shine.

Thank you to all the children, parents, and teachers who made this Open House such a memorable experience.

Learn. Play. Explore. Care.

We look forward to creating more meaningful learning experiences together at DCS Tanah Mas.

The children showed great curiosity and excitement as they explored the topic together with their teachers and new friends.

One of the highlights of the Trial Class was the Cooking Class. The little chefs were invited to prepare their own breakfast by making delicious egg sandwiches. They enjoyed taking part in the simple preparation process, following the teacher’s instructions, and, of course, tasting the sandwiches they had made themselves. It was a fun and memorable experience that encouraged the children to develop independence and confidence while learning through hands-on activities.

Throughout the Trial Class, the children participated happily and followed the learning activities well. Their smiles, curiosity, and excitement made the day even more special. It was wonderful to see them enjoying every moment of their learning experience at DCS Tanah Mas.

In celebration of Passover, DCS Tanah Mas held a special and joyful event on the theme “Jesus Died for Me.” This meaningful occasion was designed to help our students begin to understand, in a simple and age-appropriate way, the greatest love of all, Jesus’ sacrifice and His resurrection.

Passover is a very special and important celebration for us as Christians. Through this moment, the children were gently introduced to the truth that Jesus died on the cross to redeem us from sin. As humans who have fallen into sin, we are separated from God. However, because of His great love, God made a way to save us. Jesus willingly gave His life on the cross to set us free, and through His resurrection, we are given new life and hope. This beautiful message of love became the heart of our celebration.

The event began with a lively session of praise and worship. The children participated with great joy, singing, clapping, and following simple movements with excitement. We also involved our KGB students as part of the service, where they served as worship leaders and singers. This meaningful opportunity allowed them to grow in confidence and experience what it means to serve God and lead others in joyful praise. Their cheerful expressions reflected how much they enjoyed being part of this special moment. This was followed by a time of prayer, helping them to quiet their hearts and prepare to listen to God’s Word.

We were also blessed with a Bible storytelling session delivered by a guest speaker from Namba Sunday School. The story of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection was shared in a lively, interactive, and engaging way. The children listened attentively, responded with enthusiasm, and were able to grasp the message in a way that was meaningful for their age.

The celebration continued with a creative art activity where the children painted on canvas, creating beautiful cross artwork. This session was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, each child eagerly chose their colors, painted with joy, and proudly showed their finished work. The cross they painted became a simple yet powerful reminder of Jesus’ love for them.

Throughout the day, the atmosphere was filled with joy, laughter, and celebration. Passover was not only remembered but truly celebrated as a great and meaningful event. The school environment was alive with happiness as children, teachers, and staff shared in this special occasion together.

As the children went home, they carried more than just their artwork, they brought with them the joyful message of Passover: that Jesus Christ has risen and that He loves them deeply. It is our hope that this experience will plant seeds of faith in their hearts, helping them grow in their understanding of God’s love, even from an early age.

 

May this Passover celebration remind us all of the greatest gift we have received.
Jesus died for me, and He is risen.

Caring Day at DCS Elementary: Living Out True Love from the Father’s Love

On February 13, 2026, DCS Elementary held a special event called Caring Day, a meaningful moment for students to learn about the true essence of love. As this time is often associated with Valentine’s Day, our students were guided to understand love from a deeper perspective – the love that comes from our Heavenly Father.

The love we teach is not merely based on feelings, but rooted in the Father’s Love – a love that is unconditional, faithful, and given to us first. From this truth, students learn that we are able to love because God first loved us.

With the theme “True Love” taken from 1 John 3:18, “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth,” students were guided to understand that true love must be expressed through real actions.

Throughout the Caring Day activities, students received meaningful lessons on how to live out this love in their daily lives; starting from loving themselves as God’s precious creation, loving their families especially their parents, and developing a caring heart toward others around them.

In particular, students were encouraged to be aware of and respond to the needs of children affected by the flood disaster in Tapanuli Tengah and surrounding areas, North Sumatra. Through this, they learned that love knows no boundaries – of distance, ethnicity, or background.

As a tangible expression of this learning, all Grade 1 to Grade 6 students participated in a “Saving for Love” activity, held from January 26–30, 2026 during Morning Devotion time. Through their sincerity and joyful giving, a total of Rp 16,592,200 was collected.

The funds have been distributed to support children affected by the flood in Tapanuli Tengah and nearby areas through the GBT KAO Semarang Mission Department. The report of the collection and distribution was shared with students during Kids Service and also communicated to parents.

Through this initiative, students learned that True Love is love in action – love that goes beyond understanding and is demonstrated through real deeds. Even across distance, from Semarang to Tapanuli, love can reach those in need. This shows that no act of love is too small when it is done with a sincere heart.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all parents for their support and encouragement in guiding the students through this meaningful journey. Your partnership plays a vital role in shaping children to grow in Christ-like character from an early age.

 

May this Caring Day inspire every DCS Elementary student to continually grow in knowing and living out the Father’s Love, becoming individuals who shine God’s light and share His love wherever they go.

Berbagai perlombaan disiapkan dengan pendekatan yang tidak hanya kompetitif, tetapi juga edukatif dan penuh keceriaan. Lomba menyanyi menghadirkan momen-momen manis ketika anak-anak berani tampil di depan umum, menyuarakan lagu dengan penuh percaya diri. Baby Dancing menjadi panggung kecil yang dipenuhi gerakan lucu dan spontan, sementara English Competition mendorong anak-anak untuk mulai berani menggunakan bahasa asing dalam suasana yang santai dan suportif. 

Berbagai perlombaan dihadirkan untuk mengakomodasi minat dan potensi anak sejak dini. Mulai dari lomba menyanyi yang penuh percaya diri, Lasy yang melatih kreativitas spasial, Ring Donut yang seru dan mengundang tawa, Baby Dancing yang menggemaskan, English Competition yang memperkenalkan keberanian berbahasa, hingga C-Robo yang merangsang logika dan kreativitas.

Acara ini diikuti oleh peserta dari internal DCS maupun dari berbagai sekolah lain. Kehadiran peserta eksternal membawa warna tersendiri, menciptakan suasana interaksi yang lebih luas dan mempererat semangat kebersamaan antar anak-anak dari berbagai latar belakang. Hal ini juga menunjukkan bahwa DCS menjadi ruang yang terbuka dan inklusif bagi siapa saja yang ingin bertumbuh bersama.

Sepanjang acara, antusiasme peserta terlihat begitu nyata. Dari wajah-wajah yang penuh rasa ingin tahu, langkah-langkah kecil yang berani naik ke panggung, hingga sorak sorai orang tua yang mendampingi, semuanya berpadu menjadi energi positif yang menghidupkan suasana. Tidak sedikit momen haru dan bangga ketika anak-anak berhasil menyelesaikan tantangan mereka, sekecil apa pun itu.

Lebih dari sekadar perlombaan, Open House ini menjadi pengalaman berharga bagi anak-anak untuk belajar tentang keberanian, proses, dan sukacita dalam mencoba. Setiap anak yang hadir bukan hanya peserta, tetapi juga “bintang kecil” yang sedang bertumbuh, bersinar dengan cara mereka masing-masing. Melalui kegiatan ini, DCS kembali menegaskan komitmennya dalam mendampingi perkembangan anak secara holistik, tidak hanya dari sisi akademis, tetapi juga karakter, kreativitas, dan kepercayaan diri.

📖 “My children, our love should not be only words and talk. Our love must be true love. And we should show that love by what we do.” — First Epistle of John 3:18

 

This week in our Kids Service, we learned about True Love — the kind of love that is shown not only through words, but through real actions.

 

The children discovered that saying “I love you” is beautiful, but true love becomes even more meaningful when we show it. We talked about simple and practical ways they can express love at home, such as hugging their parents, obeying with a joyful heart, speaking kindly, and helping without being asked.

The children were encouraged to understand that love is not just something we say — it is something we do every day.

 

To help them remember the lesson, the children created a special craft called “Hanging of Love.”

They decorated heart-shaped cutouts and placed stickers representing acts of true love: Patience, Forgiving, Sharing, Helping, and Respecting.

 

After decorating their hearts, they turned them into beautiful hanging ornaments — a sweet reminder that true love should be lived out in their daily lives.

 

We pray that this lesson will continue to grow in their hearts and be reflected in their actions at home and at school. May our children shine God’s love through kindness, obedience, and compassion. God bless you.

We joyfully welcomed our students back to school with two meaningful and fun-filled days designed to nurture faith, character, creativity, and joyful learning.

 On Thursday, January 8, 2026, the school year began with a Kids Service that invited children to focus their hearts on God. With the theme “I Truly Worship God” (Psalm 100), students learned to worship with joy and gratitude. The day continued with a creative harp project, where children made and decorated their own harps as a symbol of praise and worship. This hands-on activity encouraged creativity and helped children express their faith in a meaningful way.

 The following day, Friday, January 9, 2026, was our “Back to School” event, filled with energetic and joyful activities. Students participated in a fun morning exercise themed “7 Kebiasaan Anak Indonesia Hebat,” played interactive games, enjoyed a potluck time with fruits and milk, and joined a sporty-themed photo session to capture happy moments together.

 These first days of school were filled with smiles, laughter, and positive energy. We are thankful to see our students excited and confident as they begin a new semester. We look forward to a wonderful journey of learning and growth ahead.
