From Garden to Lunch

Our preschool kids recently took part in a fun journey from our garden to their lunch plates. They picked vegetables like Kang Kong, green mustard, and caixin, which they had helped grow.

Learning and Eating

Picking the vegetables wasn't just for fun; it taught them how to be proud of their work and why eating healthy is important. They cleaned and got the veggies ready for cooking. Then, Chef Aunty cooked these into tasty meals for lunch.

Why We Do It

All this is part of learning by doing, which helps kids become more independent and understand where food comes from. They learn about hard work, nature, and eating right. We want our kids to know how to take care of themselves and value teamwork and healthy food. This garden project helps prepare them for many life lessons.

Nurturing Lifelong Skills at Sheffield Kidsworld

Children’s development goes beyond mastering ABCs and 123s—it also includes learning how to handle challenging social situations like bullying. Recent reports emphasize that a strong “defence” against bullying is to be socially skilled, which means knowing how to make and maintain positive friendships, communicate assertively, and offer support to peers. At Sheffield Kidsworld, we see this as an essential life skill: when children feel safe, connected, and empathic toward others, they’re better equipped to prevent, confront, or seek help when bullying occurs. Through hands-on activities and guided play, our nurturing environment helps children practice the very skills that deter bullying—cooperation, empathy, and conflict resolution. For instance, group projects or imaginative storytelling sessions teach children to express their feelings, appreciate others’ perspectives, and negotiate gently when disagreements arise. Teachers also emphasize the power of bystanders; children lear...

Nurturing Lifelong Skills at Sheffield Kidsworld

Children’s development goes beyond learning ABCs and 123s—it’s about fostering a positive attitude towards learning, cultivating creative problem-solving skills, and building essential traits like resilience, confidence, and emotional regulation. When young minds are encouraged to ask questions and view mistakes as opportunities for growth, they develop curiosity and a love for discovery that extends into every area of their lives. At Sheffield Kidsworld, we recognize that these “traits for life” form the backbone of a child’s future success and well-being. Through hands-on activities and guided play, our nurturing environment helps children learn to bounce back from setbacks, celebrate each other’s ideas, and communicate big feelings in healthy ways. Whether they’re cooperating on a craft project, brainstorming solutions to a puzzle, or practicing “calm-down” strategies when overwhelmed, children gain real-life experience in problem-solving. Our teachers gently guide them to ref...

Enhancing Social and Emotional Skills Through Preschool Role-play

As young children navigate their early learning years, developing strong social and emotional skills is essential for their overall growth. Recent research and innovative programs emphasize the importance of role-play activities in preschool settings to nurture these critical abilities. For instance, children engaging in imaginative scenarios like pretending to manage a supermarket or cooperating to solve everyday problems learn to regulate their emotions, make responsible decisions, and collaborate effectively. Creating environments that encourage guided yet flexible play empowers children to become adaptable, confident, and resilient learners. Structured role-play activities not only support emotional regulation but also enhance problem-solving and teamwork skills among preschoolers. Activities such as simulating everyday scenarios help children practice managing frustrations, negotiating roles, and empathizing with peers. This experiential approach fosters emotional intelligen...
