At the beginning of the term, little *Daniel (3) came to our Supersterre programme (our programme for 3-4-year-olds) feeling scared and unsure. He had tears in his eyes as he held onto his dad, not wanting to be left in a room full of strangers—50 kids and 20 adults he didn’t know. Everything was new and overwhelming for him, and he was hesitant to join in on activities without his parent by his side.

But things started to change—God’s love was at work.

With patient encouragement, loving guidance, and a warm, welcoming environment, Daniel began to find his place. Our dedicated Tannie-Mammas and staff took to heart the mission to “Tend (nurture, guard, guide, and fold) the flock of God that is [our] responsibility – willingly, eagerly, and cheerfully” (1 Peter 5:2). Through reassurance, gentle support, and consistent routines, they created a safe space where Daniel could grow. Slowly but surely, he started to enjoy playing, learning, and interacting with the other children. His tears turned into smiles and laughter as the weeks went by. Now, at the end of the term, Daniel confidently walks into Supersterre, eager for the day ahead. He no longer waits anxiously for his dad to return but instead embraces the fun, friendships, and learning opportunities in front of him.

What made the difference? Love. God’s love was shown through patient hands, warm hearts, and gentle encouragement that reminded him he was never alone and that he was capable of doing things on his own. At Supersterre, we don’t just offer a programme—we create a place where children feel the warmth of His love and grow in joy, confidence, independence, and faith. Daniel’s journey is just one of many, showing that with God’s love, fear fades, courage grows, and little hearts can shine bright!

As Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” — Matthew 19:13-14, NIV.
