Schools are a place not only for education, but also for community. Students make friends for life, even as early on as in kindergarten. At Little Shepherd, we are proud to say that our learning community allows children to grow into their best selves.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

As concerns around COVID-19 have grown, schools worldwide have closed down to encourage physical distancing. Most universities have moved fast to migrate their classes online, and Little Shepherd is following in their footsteps to do so. We believe in the importance of keeping the momentum of learning for our children, so we are actively designing an online curriculum to keep them engaged and in touch with their teachers and peers. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

We have already hosted a few demo classes via Zoom, a video call platform. Normal online learning is usually made up of pre-recorded videos for students to watch alone at home, but our classes are live and hosted by our very own Little Shepherd teachers. Our teachers tell stories and do arts & crafts with the children, to which the students have been overwhelmingly responsive, engaged and enthusiastic. We are also teaching science, mathematics and other academic classes. The children love seeing each other through the video calls too! We would like to extend this invitation to you and your children if you\u2019re interested in experiencing an online kindergarten class. Send us a message on our contact page<\/u><\/a> and we\u2019ll get you started!<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Why do we serve our kids organic food? We believe that exposing children to tasty, healthy food at a young age is part of a lifelong learning process that will keep them oriented towards whole, nutritious foods instead of processed, convenient food. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Our kids enjoy the meals we prepare, and sometimes even ask for a second bowl! Check out some pictures below.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In the age of technology with the constant bombardment of information, young people are severely lacking in patience. In the past, we would write letters and wait for weeks to get a reply. Nowadays, children and even young adults expect to get the things they want within seconds. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Waiting for the right time to do or receive things is the ability to delay gratification<\/em>. This is an essential skill that adds value to our lives. You may have heard of the Stanford Marshmallow Experiment: the researchers brought children into the lab, and placed one marshmallow in front of them. They told them they could eat it now, or wait and eat two later. Of course, some kids ate the marshmallow right away, and some waited to eat two. However, the most important part of the results they gathered was when they surveyed the kids who had made it to college\u2014the children who delayed gratification for two marshmallows were more disciplined and performed better in their studies. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

How to teach Courage to young children<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

1. Help others see their own courage. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

When you see courage in your children, identify it. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

e.g., <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

\u201cIt took courage to stand up for yourself like that\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

\u201cIt looks like you did the right thing even though it wasn\u2019t easy. That\u2019s what we call courage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

2. Self-reflection in the presence of your children<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

e.g., <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

\u201cAt work today I heard someone gossiping about a colleague of mine. I like this person bur I didn\u2019t like his actions. It was the first time I was able to stop gossiping and let someone know that the act of gossiping is harmful to the team.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

3. Model doing what is right for you, even if it is not popular with your child.<\/span><\/p>

Collaboration<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

Collaboration means working together with others towards a common goal. Collaboration helps children to build social-emotional skills such as self-confidence, social awareness and the ability to take risks. Collaboration is a lifelong skill which has an impact on how successful a person is when they are placed in group situations, e.g.. working in a school project, working in a team, working with others in a community, etc.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

In the process of collaboration, children learn about respect for others and how to be in control of their own emotions. The development of this skill can start as early as possible in life. It is important to help children to understand the value of working well with others by encouraging them into collaboration activities.<\/span><\/p>

Teachers and parents are the best role model to students, so we should make it a priority to <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

start early by building great relationships among siblings and young children at home<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

and in the school environment. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

The following are ways to raise children who love and care for each other:<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/div>

1. Teach the children to have a \u201cwe and us\u201d mentality, not an \u201cI and me\u201d mentality. Tell your children at home or in class that we are a team and each person\u2019s action is affecting one another. Children need to be reminded often enough for this to sink in to their system.<\/span><\/p>
