Your Child’s Journey, Our Shared Mission

At the Oblates of Saint Joseph Schools, we believe that every child is a precious gift with unique God-given talents and potential. As educators and partners of families, it is our shared mission to support each child's holistic growth—spiritually, emotionally, socially, and intellectually.

One way we do this is through early developmental screening—a proactive and compassionate approach to understanding your child's milestones and needs during their most formative years.

Why Consider Developmental Screening?

✅ Early Guidance, Faithful Support
Through screening, we can identify both strengths and areas needing gentle support. The earlier we understand a child’s needs, the more we can accompany them in love and provide the right guidance rooted in the Josephite-Marellian spirit.

✅ For All Children, Not Just for Concerns
Developmental screening is not only for children with visible delays. It is a loving, proactive step for every child to ensure they are growing steadily and joyfully along their own path.

✅ Insight, Not a Label
Screening results are not judgments—they are tools to help parents and educators make caring, informed decisions about how to nurture each child’s well-being and learning journey.

✅ Peace of Mind, Anchored in Care
As parents, it’s natural to wonder whether your child is developing at the right pace. Screening offers reassurance, insight, and hope—reminding us that every child blooms in God's perfect time.

Who Can Benefit?
We offer Developmental SmartAssessment™ for children from 2 months to 7 years old, but older children can also benefit. If you’ve ever been curious or concerned about your child’s development—emotionally, socially, or behaviorally—this is a beautiful opportunity to check in.

At the OSJS Guidance Center, we walk with you in nurturing the full potential of every learner, guided by the virtues of humility, family spirit, and faith. A simple screening today can lead to a clearer understanding and better support for your child’s unique needs.
For screening inquiries or to schedule an appointment, please send us a message! Together, let us care for and journey with each child toward fullness of life.

Note: This is not limited to our students; non-OSJS students are also welcome to inquire.

4 Brain-Boosting Chores for Kids

Giving children chores isn’t just about keeping the house clean — it also supports their mental and emotional growth. Here’s how:

✅ Builds independence
✅ Enhances focus and attention
✅ Teaches cause-and-effect thinking
✅ Boosts self-confidence

Here are 4 simple chores that help strengthen cognitive skills:

🧺1. Sorting Laundry
Encourages categorization, visual scanning, and memory. It also sharpens attention to detail and strengthens working memory.

🧹2. Sweeping or Mopping
Improves motor coordination and balance, while supporting the ability to follow sequences of actions.

🍽️3. Setting the Table
Develops spatial awareness and planning skills. It also supports logical and organized thinking.

🛏️4. Making the Bed
Reinforces sequencing and order, and supports pattern recognition and organizational skills.

Start with simple tasks, stay consistent, and celebrate progress rather than perfection.

These small efforts will help your child grow in responsibility, confidence, and lifelong learning skills.
