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.

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?

At Little Shepherds’ Schoolhouse, our mission is to nurture children to be joyful and responsible learners, active community members and positive contributors to society. But what do we mean by “joyful”? 

Is your child over stimulated or under stimulated? Here are some ways to understand how our senses work and what we can do practically as parents!

Education in virtues is centered on the principles of the Catholic church. It teaches children moral responsibilities from a young age. An example would be to help them differentiate between right and wrong from an early age. It is a curriculum that supports people, or in this case children, as they learn and practice virtues.
