Choosing a preschool can feel overwhelming.
Everyone says they’re play-based, child-centred, and nurturing — but what does that actually look like on a normal Tuesday morning?
Here are 8 things worth asking (and watching for) when choosing a preschool for your child.
LSS Referral Programme Refer a child and be rewarded $100 Credits How it works? Parents who successfully refer new parents will receive a $100 credit. Please email the centre principal your referrals’ names and contacts. The referred child must be enrolled at LSS for at least six months before the credit is applied. Credits can be used for learning journeys, programmes, photos, and enrichment programmes. No part of the credits can be converted to cash. MAKE A REFERRAL NOW!

Three of our Little Shepherds’ Schoolhouse centres — at the Church of St Anthony, Church of Our Lady Star of the Sea, and St Joseph Church (Bukit Timah) — have been reappointed under ECDA’s Partner Operator (POP) 3.0 Scheme. We also celebrate the new appointment of Little Shepherds’ Schoolhouse @ Church of St Francis of Assisi (Jurong West) under the same scheme! These centres will be part of the new five-year term of the Partner Operator Scheme, which runs from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2030.

Embarking on the childcare journey, young children often grapple with separation anxiety. For parents, navigating this emotional terrain requires understanding, patience, and the right strategies.
Living in a digital age, it’s increasingly common to witness the younger generation being subtly nudged towards comparisons. As stewards of their growth, it’s more vital than ever to guide them towards recognising and valuing their individual brilliance. So, how can we champion their unique spirit amidst this backdrop? Here’s our take:
The term Emotional Intelligence, often referred to by the abbreviation EQ (Emotional Quotient), might sound like a buzzword, but its significance in a child’s development cannot be overstated.
As you know, children at LSS often go for learning journeys and excursions to explore the world around them. It’s now the June holidays, and everyone might be flocking to the latest Bird Paradise at Mandai, but if you’re not one for the crowds, check out some alternative ideas, inspired by the learning journeys our kids have been on. Try them out with your family this holiday!
We often hear statements like “kids these days are so self-entitled”, and might even spout a few of these lines ourselves when we encounter a petulant child. On the other hand there are also children with low self-confidence who behave in the exact opposite. They don’t believe they have what it takes, and they don’t even try. How can we balance these two extremes?
At Little Shepherds’ Schoolhouse, we believe “Virtues” form the building blocks of our children’s character formation. Whilst our children are in Little Shepherds’ Schoolhouse, we nurture them through experiences which give them the opportunity to acquire these virtues. Why the focus on Virtue?
