Kyrios 4 Kids

SPRING 🌹🌺🌱🌼 is finally here!
May it be a new season in EVERY area of your life!
🎉🤍🫶
The best is yet to come!

Hoe lekker is dit nie om deel te kan word van hierdie wonderlike skool nie! 🤸🎉🙏
Ons hoop baie maats gaan deel word van ons Kyrios familie 🥰

Kyrios Kids het ons gister by die naskoolsentrum besoek.

What you say about your child is what they think about themselves.
You are the first person to give them a hint about their identity.
Your words are POWERFUL.
BE SELECTIVE!

Such a good example to illustrate Bullying and the power of your words! ⬇️

Today in one of our classes I introduced the children to two apples (the children didn't know this, but before the class I had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the floor, you couldn't tell, both apples looked perfect). We talked about the apples and the children described how both apples looked the same; both were red, were of similar size and looked juicy enough to eat.

I picked up the apple I'd dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short. I told them that because I didn't like it, I didn't want them to like it either, so they should call it names too.

Some children looked at me like I was insane, but we passed the apple around the circle calling it names, 'you're a smelly apple', 'I don't even know why you exist', 'you've probably got worms inside you' etc.

We really pulled this poor apple apart. I actually started to feel sorry for the little guy.

We then passed another apple around and started to say kind words to it, 'You're a lovely apple', 'Your skin is beautiful', 'What a beautiful colour you are' etc.

I then held up both apples, and again, we talked about the similarities and differences, there was no change, both apples still looked the same.

I then cut the apples open. The apple we'd been kind to was clear, fresh and juicy inside.

The apple we'd said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy inside.

I think there was a lightbulb moment for the children immediately. They really got it, what we saw inside that apple, the bruises, the mush and the broken bits is what is happening inside every one of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions.

When people are bullied, especially children, they feel horrible inside and sometimes don't show or tell others how they are feeling. If we hadn't have cut that apple open, we would never have known how much pain we had caused it.

I shared my own experience of suffering someone's unkind words last week. On the outside I looked OK, I was still smiling. But, on the inside someone had caused me a lot of pain with their words and I was hurting.

Unlike an apple, we have the ability to stop this from happening. We can teach children that it's not ok to say unkind things to each other and discuss how it makes others feel. We can teach our children to stand up for each other and to stop any form of bullying, just as one little girl did today when she refused to say unkind words to the apple.

More and more hurt and damage happens inside if nobody does anything to stop the bullying. Let's create a generation of kind, caring children.

The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.”

Mag ons altyd met soveel dankbaarheid kyk na die kruis van Jesus, en die Groot prys wat vir ons betaal is!

We had so much fun at Miles of Smiles Private Preschool last week!
And we enjoyed meeting all the little ones so much!

Here at Kyrios 4 kids we truly believe that each child is unique. In fact, so unique that they learn differently from other kids, they develop differently from other kids, and they have their own unique talents and giftings.
With our program we accentuate the uniqueness of each child.
We help the kids discover what makes them unique; bring out the best in them; help them discover how they learn best; and help them grow into all they were made to be!

If your child has not been on this wonderful journey of discovery with us yet, then hurry up and enroll them!

Our lessons will be starting in February!

Dit was 'n voorreg om by julle te kon klasgee.

Elke les in ons program is so ontwerp om jou kind op verskillende vlakke van hul ontwikkeling te stimuleer.🧠 💪
Elke les is propvol beweging en spel!
In elke les leer die maats:
💪 Om te d**k
💪 Probleme op te los
💪 Kreatief te wees
💪 Saam te speel en in 'n span saam te werk 💪 Te kommunikeer en vrae te vra
Terselftertyd bou ons selfvertroue, selfbeeld, emosionele en sosiale vaardighede.

Daarom is ons die BESTE program omdat ons op ALLE vlakke met die kind werk.

Laerskool Die Arend

Oh my! What fun we've had at Stepping stones nursery school in Boksburg! 🎉🎉🎉
If you would happen to walk past that classroom, you would find us laughing, playing with puppets, going on a fun adventurous imaginary journey, dancing, and simply having FUN while learning!
Why? Because that's the way we teach!
We believe in the Play way method of learning.
This simply means that we encourage children to learn via hands-on activities, exploration and games instead of traditional classroom teaching.

What makes it so much better than the traditional way of teaching?
💡Well, it keeps children engaged because it is so interactive. It's hard to lose concentration when playing.
💡It's a FUN way of learning, helping kids to retain information effectively.
💡It's the best way to instill confidence, as it allows kids to learn at their own pace and in a fun way.

If your child wants to join our fun and interactive classes this year, feel free to pop us a message at [email protected].

Spreek dit oor jouself elke dag!

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.

Running a business is really hard.

What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.

People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.

Many people will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store or company.

You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.

Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work-life balance.

You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a husband or a wife, family support, friend...

There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed.

It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.

Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives.

Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

And know that 2022 prices are not 2023 prices.

I copied this from another small business owner that I support!

Please support small business!
Pay for what you receive , remember we have budgets that also need to work out at the end of the month

Wishing all the amazing moms out there wonderful Mother's day! 🪷
May this day remind you that you are loved, special, strong, beautiful, selfless, thoughtful and simply just amazing! 🩷

Gelukkige Moedersdag aan al die pragtige mammas!
Mag hierdie dag jou herinner dat jy geliefd, spesiaal, sag, liefdevol, sterk, braaf, en goed genoeg is! Jy IS 'n AMAZING mamma 🩷

❤️

He asked of me why it was raining
He asked was it tears from the sky
And I replied yes
That this was the case
That even the heavens can cry

He asked of me what was the thunder
He said it was hurting his ears
And I told him that sometimes
Even the clouds
Need to scream so that somebody hears

He asked of me what was the wind
And why was it whirling and swirling around
So I explained even the sky
Takes deep breaths
When it’s trying to calm itself down

Yet often, we keep our tears secret
And we swallow our own cries for help
And we think that it’s weak
To be catching our breath
So we don’t let our struggles be felt

And yet, if the clouds never emptied
If the sky never screamed through the storm
It would sit growing darker
And darker until
It was simply no use to us all

So throw all your fears to the wind dear
And toss all your tears to the clouds
And you will discover
The infinite power
The heavens hold over the ground

See, it’s normal and natural to struggle
And it’s healthy and human to cry
And if anyone questions
Your power my darling
Just tell them it’s matched by the sky

If you would by chance walk past a Kyrios 4 kids lesson, you wouldn't think we're learning...🤔🧐😳
You would find us dancing and singing💃; listening to stories📖; playing with hand and finger puppets; pretending to be different characters in different scenarios🎭; doing funny speech exercises and getting our tongues all twisted up with tongue twisters👅; or playing all kinds of games (with balls, concentration and memory games etc.)
It might look a little crazy to you.
But really PLAY is a child's BEST way of learning. (And no, not just small children, ALL children!)

I believe that kids were NOT designed to sit still in class, stand in line and be quiet...
Kids need motion, novelty and adventure!
They need to engage ALL five of their senses when learning.
They need to PLAY! That's when they learn the best!
And that's what we here at Kyrios 4 kids provide: a-learning-through-play experience!

*So why is play really so important?*
Besides giving kids a mental break and making learning fun, it also keeps the kids actively engaged.
Children cannot help but remember the concepts being taught when the teaching experience involves seeing it, building it, singing or dancing about it, having a snack related to it, hearing a story read aloud (about it) and then having a discussion or doing dramatic or pretend play related to it!
Kids are now longer sitting still and just receiving a lot of information that their minds cannot process. They are an active part of the learning process.

And that's how we learn here at Kyrios 4 kids.

Next we'll look at some of the aspects we work on in our classes.

I look forward to sharing with you!

Love Michelle
🤍💛🌈
